Through May 28
Phoenix Theatre
There’s a lot of Gilbert and Sullivan, a hint of Elvis-movie plotting, and a lot of Indy 500 lore packed into this breezy “mini-mockeretta” that’s a must-see for anyone with fondness for racing and/or a love of musical theater. Yes, I previewed it here a few weeks ago—and I don’t usually write about shows here mid-run—but I thought I’d give the delightful show another bump and encourage you to make time this weekend to go along for this silly ride. Rare is the musical with this many laughs. Rare is the home-grown show that’s this confident and accomplished. Rare is the opportunity for Indy audiences to laugh at themselves in such a smart show. Go. Details here.

May 28
Downtown Indianapolis
I suppose there will be fans of grand marshal Anderson Cooper in the crowd. And some may appreciate the television work of personalities Jillian Michaels (“The Biggest Loser”) and Judge Alex Ferrer (“Judge Alex”), sports figures Tommy Lasorda and Pacer Mike Dunleavy Jr., and singer Kellie Pickler.
But I’m guessing that some of the biggest applause along the 500 Festival Parade route will come when Blue II passes—even though the Butler University mascot can’t be expected to wave. And while TV trends will come and TV trends will go, there’s something reassuring about the continued presence of Jim Nabors, Ruth Buzzi and Florence Henderson in their respective parade cars. Details here.
