Things To Do This Weekend In Cleveland: Oct. 11-13
Get haunted at Boo at the Zoo, by the antiheroes of Breaking Bad or by Jerry Seinfeld's cringe-worthy stories of everyday awkwardness. Plus, things to do for rockers and feline lovers.
The most famous sitcom of the '90s may be over, but you can still get a taste of being an audience member during Seinfeld's famed opening scenes. The show's star and stand-up comedian legend Jerry Seinfeld performs his original stand up comedy act at Playhouse Square's KeyBank State Theater this Friday. Tickets are sold out, but we feel like a Craig's List search or just waiting outside the venue for tickets is a recipe for your own Seinfeld moment. $50-175.50, Oct. 11, 7 pm & 9:30 pm, 1501 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, playhousesquare.org

Boo at the Zoo is the can't-miss event of the fall for the kiddies — just make sure to head out by 9 p.m. before your ride turns back into a pumpkin.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie at Cedar Lee
