The company will donate up to $100,000 of profit from ticket sales to imagine1day, a charity that works to connect people in Ethiopia to quality education free of foreign aid by 2030. The non-profit group was created by Lululemon founders Chip and Shannon Wilson in 2007.

The band Bon Jovi is not part of this show but is starting a tour of Asia in September.
The New Jersey group actually recorded the album "Slippery When Wet" in Vancouver in 1986 and named it after visiting a strip club in the city.
Two of their biggest hits — "Livin' On A Prayer" and "You Give Love A Bad Name" — are from that album.
The band has sold more than 130 million records around the world since getting together in 1983.
