It hasn’t even opened for business, but The Dome is already proving it’ll have no problem bringing big names to Virginia Beach. Steve Martin will perform at the new entertainment venue Sept. 19 alongside comedian Martin Short. The comedy legends co-star in the Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building,” with Selena Gomez. The hit series won best ensemble in a comedy and Short picked up the prize for best actor in a comedy during this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony. Pre-sale tickets, for Live Nation members, go on sale Wednesday. Tickets for the general public can be purchased starting at 10 a.m. Friday. Martin rose to fame as a standup comic and television writer in the 1970s when he became a frequent guest on late night talk shows and Saturday Night Live. He has guest starred on the show 35 times and hosted 16 times. Martin has starred in movies such as “The Jerk,” “Father of the Bride,” “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” and many more. Short, who was an SNL cast member for one season in 1984, co-starred with Martin and Chevy Chase in the 1986 comedy classic “Three Amigos.” The Dome that is still under construction and a part of Virginia Beach’s $350 million Atlantic Park project on 20th Street will officially open in May.
