Theresa Caputo to commune with spirits in Orlando

Theresa Caputo, The Long Island Medium, is coming to Orlando this October for a chance for Central Florida fans to experience her skills up close.

Theresa Caputo Live! The Experience will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 16-17, at the Plaza Live in the Milk District.

The Lifetime show Raising Spirits star and best-selling author will (theoretically) give attendees a chance to communicate with loved ones who have passed on. There will be a full-stage video set up to make attendees feel like they’re in the center of the action.

Caputo has been a practicing medium for over 20 years and now tours the country .

“The Experience isn’t about believing in mediums. It’s about seeing something life-changing,” said Caputo in a press statement. “It’s witnessing first-hand spirit communication.”

Tickets for Theresa Caputo Live! The Experience start at $59 and are available for purchase now.

As a note, buying a ticket does not guarantee a spiritual reading.

A.C.E. are out of the army and on their way to Orlando

The five-member Korean boy-band A.C.E. are back and coming to Orlando this Friday for their Rewind US tour.

Fresh from two years of mandatory military service in South Korea, the band is traveling to 14 cities across North America. (In true Elvis Presley fashion, the band dropped everything to serve in the country’s armed forces, but have regained momentum with ease.)

The reconvened A.C.E. in quick succession has dropped new mini-album My Girl: My Choice and the single “Supernatural”; My Girl: My Choice boasts a blend of English and Korean love songs with slight jazzy elements meshing with their signature pop flair. A.C.E promises to play fan favorites like “Savage,” “Under Cover,” “Goblin (Favorite Boys)” and more. And that’s an order.

6 p.m. Friday, July 5, Plaza Live, $69.50-$300.

Bang Yongguk at Plaza Live

Orlando, we did Bang Yongguk dirty. How was this show (Friday, April 12, Plaza Live) not a packed-to-the-rafters sellout?

That being said, I can’t complain when I remember those familiar butterflies that came back like I was 14 again, ready to see my bias (note: That’s K-pop slang to signify your absolute favorite) in my city after all this time.

For you see, Bang Yongguk, from 2012 to 2016, was the leader of South Korean K-pop maestros BAP (as in, they are “Best Absolute Perfect”). BAP were well-known for having sensitive tough-guy concepts: choreography often including punching the air and doing push-ups, members were clad in spiky leather jackets and Misfits T-shirts, all of it was belied by heart-wrenching vocal solos. Punk attitude with dramatic execution.

Yongguk appeared ascetic and quiet during these years.

Bang Yongguk at Plaza Live

Seeing Yongguk on stage in 2024, I felt proud to be a longtime fan; his stoicism never went away, but his shoulders seemed more relaxed, and he smiled between each song to remind us he was happy to be there. (Is this his David Sylvian post-Japan era?)

“This is my first time in Orlando, and I love you guys,” he said.

Everything he uttered was met with uproarious barks from the crowd, woofs abounded — meant likely to remind Yongguk that the fans would uplift him no matter what.

He is one of those stars with an intriguingly wholesome connection with his fans, saying he wants to do everything he can to encourage them to follow their dreams.

He performed songs from all three of his solo albums released after BAP’s breakup. (Though he has assured fans BAP will be together forever and always.)

He even worked in a deep-cut song from 2011 he recorded with fellow idol Yang Yoseob from the band B2ST: a power ballad with emotive rapping called “I Remember.”

The acclaimed cult track had the crowd beyond hyped, and the somewhat less-than-full hall was redeemed as a spacious dance floor we had to jam and break.
