Mardi Gras continues at Universal Studios with headliners Macy Gray and Angie Stone. Listen to live music, collect the traditional Mardi Gras beads (without having to pay the topless price - it's G rated), enjoy the parade, and celebrate New Orleans style with fellow party goers. The party continues Saturday nights through April 30.

Saturday April 23, Angie Stone performs at 6:45 pm, the Mardi Gras Parade is at 8:00 pm and Macy Gray performs at 8:30 pm.

The event is included with regular admission to Universal Studios (adults $59.75 plus tax, children $48.00 plus tax), or join the fun after 5:00 pm for just $39.95. Remember, Florida and Georgia residents save $10 with a valid Florida or Georgia ID.

In case Angie Stone's name doesn't ring a bell, she began singing gospel music when in 1999 she released her debut album "Black Diamond." The album is autobiographical and marked the beginning of her solo career. It has thus far sold more than 1.2 million copies worldwide. Her hits include: "No More Rain (In This Cloud)," which spent 10 weeks at #1, "Wish I Didn't Miss You," "Brotha," and "Bottles & Cans."

Macy Gray is widely known for her distinctive voice. Within two years her first album "On How Life Is," went quadruple platinum. Gray won a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal due to her hit, "I Try."
