An Unfunny Evening with Tim Minchin and His Piano is a show that bills itself as “not a comedy gig,” but it’s hard to take that claim seriously.

See the performance at the Majestic Theater, a short walk from St. Paul Station on all four DART Rail lines.

Jimmy Buffet’s Escape to Margaritaville transports you to a tropical island getaway. The upbeat musical comedy tells the tale of a charming bartender and singer who falls for a more conventional-minded tourist.  The score features all the famous Jimmy Buffett classics. Experience it at The Firehouse Theatre, walkable from Farmers Branch Station on the Green Line.

Funny Girl has one of the most celebrated musical scores in musical theater. The plot follows a girl from the Lower East Side of Manhattan who dreams of a life in the theater. Spoiler: She gets famous. Catch the performance through Aug. 18 at Music Hall at Fair Park, a very short walk from the Green Line’s Fair Park Station.
