Weekend things to do: Sly Stone, Marlon Wayans, Palm Beach Tattoo Expo, oh, and Florida Panthers parade

With all due respect to anything else happening this weekend, is there anything else happening this weekend besides the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers’ parade? If you were one of the 200,000 people who showed up last year along A1A on Fort Lauderdale beach, you probably thought it couldn’t get any better (except for the rain part). We shall see. All indications are that the Stanley Cup parade will return to the Fort Lauderdale oceanfront on Sunday. Stay up to date at SunSentinel.com/panthers.

THURSDAY

Sly look back: The Rhythm Foundation will host a celebration of Juneteenth on Thursday with a free screening of the Oscar-winning Questlove documentary “Summer of Soul” at the Miami Beach Bandshell.

King, The 5th Dimension and, with poignant timeliness, the great Sly & the Family Stone. The film will be shown at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m. Admission is free with RSVP at MiamiBeachBandshell.com.

Think Whitney: This is the final weekend of performances for Slow Burn Theatre Co.’s “The Bodyguard — The Musical” at the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale. Starring “American Idol” finalist Ta-Tynisa Wilson as Rachel Marron, the show includes  timeless Whitney Houston hits such as “So Emotional,” “One Moment in Time,” “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” and, of course, “I Will Always Love You.” Weekend performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 1 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday.

Green acres: In a Sun Sentinel review of the touring production of the Tony-winning musical comedy “Shucked” at Fort Lauderdale’s Broward Center, critic Rod Stafford Hagwood called it “a corn-ucopia of comedy that’ll have you smiling from ear to ear.” This was both a compliment — and a warning. If this kind of punny business hurts your ear, well, move along. But if such light-hearted fare is what you’re looking for right about now, saddle up. Final performances of “Shucked” will be at 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets start at $53.40 at BrowardCenter.org.
