Cultural Display See what's on next at the luminous Kimmel Center. PHOTOS (LEFT TO RIGHT) BY KEVIN MONKO AND BY JEFF GOLDBERG/ESTO W ith its iconic glass roof and state-of-the-art auditoriums, the Kimmel Center is a sparkling centerpiece on Philadelphia's Avenue of the Arts. This summer it offers a full lineup of art events, from independent theater and jazz residencies to "The Composers," a newly installed series of busts of classical composers crafted from old books by artist Long-Bin Chen. Perhaps the most highly anticipated piece of programming is the arrival of The Book of Mormon, the Tony award-winning musical from the creators of South Park, now on tour. The show settles in for a six-week run on July 29 to wrap up the Kimmel's Broadway Philadelphia series. Before then, theatergoers can enjoy the return of Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic musical Evita (June 17-22) and the Philadelphia debut of his recent stage adaptation of The Wizard of Oz (June 3-8), which features several new songs written with Tim Rice. Also grabbing headlines at the Kimmel is the latest entry from Iron Chef Jose Garces. A return to the roots and inspirations for his cooking, Volvér is proving to be innovative in telling those stories. It offers decadent chef's tastings, and, like any other great show, they're available by prepaid ticket only. For those looking for lighter but no less luxurious fare, the accompanying Bar Volvér features elegant noshes like tuna tartare and caviar, plus the city's largest selection of champagne.
