Friday Night Live, Downtown Champaign, 6 p.m., free

Another promsing Friday Night Live in downtown Champaign. This Friday take in sounds ranging from the Big Bluestem String Band to Sixth Street Brass. a Guaranteed good time for the entire family, just make sure to stop by each corn (Walnut & Chester, Neil & Park, and Neil & Church). (RG)

CUTC's Hairspray, Parkland College's Miner Theatre, 7 p.m., $15 or less

CUTC is bringing John Waters' runaway hit to Champaign, and by all accounts, it's delightful. The annual youth production always includes a message of inclusion, and Hairspray takes on one of the most important issues of all: being from Baltimore. Oh no, it's just racial integration, self-love, and confidence above all else. People are people, people -- go hear some kids sing about it. (RK) 

Logan Noir, The Art Theater, 10 pm, $5

If you missed Logan when it hit theaters, or if you want to see a new take on the Wolverine-based film, check out The Art Theater this Friday (and Saturday) as they show a special, black-and-white version of Logan, aptly titled Logan Noir. (BH)
