Idiot Savant
Public Theater - 425 Lafayette St. - New York (NoHo)
Because "Idiot Savant" stars Willem Dafoe ("Spider-Man"), we'd love to recommend this show to everyone. But he's working with Richard Foreman, the godfather of Gotham's experimental theater, who's not for everyone-unless you're looking to get your mind blown by an acid trip of theatrical weirdness....

The Brother/Sister Plays
Public Theater - 425 Lafayette St. - New York (NoHo)
Like everyone else in American theater, I love these powerful, elemental dramas by Tarell Alvin McCraney. Metromix offered a rave review of "The Brothers Size" last season; now you can catch up on that and McCraney's two related plays (based on African myths) about sibling rivalry in a small...

A surprise upset in '98 had "Ragtime" lose the Best Musical Tony to "Lion King". Adapted from EL Doctorow's masterful novel, the musical shows the tumult of NYC in the first decade of the 20th century: historical figures rub shoulders with representatives from the Yiddish, black, and WASP...

Sarah Ruhl is the darling of modern theater, a rare playwright whose so popular (with the in-crowd, at least) that she can write a play that opens straight on Broadway, with no tryout elsewhere! In the Next Room is a period piece about the invention of the titular instrumentused in the 19th c. to...

The New Electric Ballroom
St. Ann’s Warehouse - 38 Water St. - Brooklyn (Fulton Ferry)
Enda Walsh is one of Ireland's most radical and thrilling new voices: he works in that same wordsmithy that James Joyce forged, but Walsh also has the poet Yeats' sense of theater as a primal, Celtic ritual. If you missed The Walworth Farce at St. Ann's in spring '08 (like I did, shamefully), or if...

Miley Cyrus
Prudential Center - 744 Broad Street - Newark (Newark)
7 p.m.
Yes, you read that right, Miley Cycrus, no Hannah Montana on this outing. She proved she doesn't need it as her latest album, "Breakout," her first without the co-billing of Hannah Montana, debuted at the top of The Billboard 200. Because we just cant wait for her to finish another full-length...

Wolfmother
Terminal 5 - 610 West 56th Street - New York (Midtown West)
8 p.m.
Enthusiasts of crushing classic rock smiled broadly when Australias Wolfmother reached the U.S. in 2006. The battle-tested power trioformed in 2000delivered a consistently engaging self-titled debut that brilliantly bit from numerous early-'70s titans; the wickedly catchy hit single Woman won the...
