The Climb of Miley Cyrus

If everyone in the world were socked with the wrong side of a memory stick and forgot their age, a Miley Cyrus song would be the perfect barometer to set everyone straight. If her country-fried screech doesn’t turn you into stone, you’re safely out of the tween zone but not...

If everyone in the world were socked with the wrong side of a memory stick and forgot their age, a Miley Cyrus song would be the perfect barometer to set everyone straight. If her country-fried screech doesn’t turn you into stone, you’re safely out of the tween zone but not yet of age to vote, drive, watch TV after 9 p.m. and procreate. If her “music” is pleasing to your ears, do not pass go, plan a sleepover, and hit ticketmaster.com for tickets to her upcoming stop at the triple A (601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami). This multi-hyphenate teen has managed to sing, dance, and act her way into the hearts and pockets of America so whether you’re one of her drooling fans or a zeitgeist junkie, this is a show you shouldn’t miss. She’ll sing, she’ll dance, she’ll yell “HellOO Miamayyy,” and she may even simulate a striptease. Whatever she does, Miley will undoubtedly perform her current chart-climber, “Party in the USA”, which we only like on the part where she mentions Jay-Z. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets start at $39.50.
