Fortunately, the Brevard Symphony Orchestra and the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse have organized their offerings this weekend so you can do both: The BSO’s Hugh Panaro in Concert and CVP’s “In the Heights.” Heck, you can even get on the EGAD bus tour to the Dali Museum and still be back in time for the concert.
