Stage 48 : 6:00 p.m. May 2

When Too $hort, the Oakland legend who started hustling tapes way back in 1983, first performed in New York City, he was almost booed off the stage. Things done changed, of course, and these days $hort classics like “Burn Rubber” and “Blow the Whistle” get play on the... More >>

'Remembering Mabel & Bobby'

Town Hall : 8:00 p.m. May 16

Not that long ago they’d have needed no introduction. Perhaps they do now: She’s Mabel Mercer and he’s Bobby Short; together and separately they presided over Manhattan cabaret let it be known with their joint appearance in this room 45 years back. Pay tribute, Mercer-Short... More >>

Nathan Lane may number among the most talented of our stage entertainers, but not perhaps the most masculine. This makes him an ideal star for Douglas Carter Beane’s new play, about the world of 1930s burlesque and the men and women called upon to play gay in service of comedy. Jack... More >>

Al Hirschfeld Theatre : 3:00 p.m. every Sun.; 7:00 p.m. every Tue., Thu.; 2:00 p.m. every Wed., Sat.; 8:00 p.m. every Wed., Fri., Sat.

Some of us have quite enough trouble 
simply walking in six-inch stilettos. But to sing and dance and act in them? Really, someone should hand out honorary Tonys to the Kinky Boots cast just for trying. This new tuner draws its inspiration from a 
recent British film, itself based... More >>

Mary doesn’t speak much in the gospels. A question at the annunciation, a polite request at Cana. Isn’t it time she had a few more lines? Novelist and playwright Colm Tóibín obliges, supplying a monologue for the queen of heaven (the regal Fiona Shaw) that allows her... More >>

Zelda at the Oasis

Theater at St. Luke's Church : 5:00 p.m. every Fri.; 7:00 p.m. every Tue., Sun.
