Tickets go on sale this week for two of the robust lineup of live events coming this spring to the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts — including a performance by a hit musician at the center’s annual gala.

The West Palm Beach performing arts venue began selling tickets Friday for the hit musical “The Book of Mormon,” which runs March 11-16.

And starting at noon Saturday, tickets will be on sale for the annual Kravis Center Gala on March 5, which will feature a live performance by musician and actor Harry Connick Jr., the Kravis Center announced this week.

Throughout his career, Connick has racked up a number of wins, including two Emmy Awards and three Grammy Awards, along with multiple Tony Awards nominations. In addition to his work as an actor, his music has been featured in TV shows and movies including the 1989 romantic comedy “When Harry Met Sally,” the album for which quickly went platinum and earned him his first Grammy.

The gala begins with a cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m. in the Cohen Pavilion’s Harris Pre-Function Hall. Connick’s performance will begin at 7 in the Alexander W. Dreyfoos Concert Hall, and the evening will close with a dinner dance in the Gimelstob Ballroom, the Kravis Center said.

The musical comedy tells the story of a pair of young Mormon missionaries and the adventures they face as they try to spread their faith in a Ugandan village.
