"Guys & Dolls" soars with the spirit of Broadway, embodied in its cast of vivid characters, including: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers of Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer who's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game. Based on "The Idyll of Sarah Brown" and characters by Damon Runyon, plus an iconic score by Frank Loesser that includes such songs as "Luck Be A Lady," "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat," "If I Were A Bell," and "A Bushel and a Peck," "Guys & Dolls" is a timeless treat at Star Theatre in Oceanside.

When it comes to something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue, few brides expect the something "old" to be an uninvited ex-lover. It's Courtney's wedding day, and her mom, Delia, is making sure that everything is perfect. The groom is perfect, the dress is perfect and the decorations (assuming they arrive) will be perfect. Then -- like in any good farce -- the doorbell rings and all hell breaks loose. So much for perfect. Written by acerbic, manic, belligerent stand-up comedian Lewis Black, "One Slight Hitch" marches onto the stage at Point Loma Playhouse. [less-]

Mel Brooks jolted his classic movie comedy "Young Frankenstein" back to life with a bunch of hilarious new songs, turning it into a monster Broadway hit. Now it's coming to San Diego Musical Theatre in a new production that tracks the tongue-in-cheek tale of young Dr. Frankenstein (or "Fronkensteen," as he prefers to be known) as he tries to complete his grandfather's work of re-animating the dead. He's helped out -- sorta -- by the hunchbacked, bulging-eyed Igor, his beautiful lab assistant, Inga, and the frightfully eccentric housekeeper Frau Blucher. The Brooks-penned score boasts such catchy tunes as "Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' on the Ritz." [less-]

More than 65 years after it was first produced, Arthur Miller's American tragedy about the Keller family -- entrepreneur father, devoted mother, war-hero sons -- and their fall from grace still resonates with audiences. Miller's probing has never been sharper, nor his target more intimate, than in this play considered by many to be his first commercial success and the work that established him as a leading American playwright ("Death of a Salesman"). Set immediately following World War II, "All My Sons" tells the story of one day and a night during which past secrets surface and threaten to shake the entire Keller clan to its core. This deeply engaging tale of morality and consciousness explores the bonds of family and social responsibility as two very different generations seek to heal and rebuild. Inspired by a true story, "All My Sons" won two Tony Awards and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for the Best American Play of 1947. Now OnStage Playhouse brings the American masterpiece to Chula Vista. [less-]
