Barenaked Lads Save Christmas, Bailiwick Repertory, through Dec. 31. Whattaya know? It’s a burlesque show where the female comedian sports a scrumptious wardrobe and the male chorus dancers wear little more than their big—uh, smiles. Good, clean fun. MSB
Christmas As We Grow Older, City Lit, through Dec. 24. A mature and contemplative Christmas revue is hard to find—especially one enlivened by a radio murder-mystery and Kingsley Day playing the piano with one arm cuddled around his ‘girly-mine.’ MSB
Fat Pig, Profiles Theatre, now through Feb. 25. It’s a big extension for this hit staging of Neil LaBute’s taught play, in which friends sabotage the love of a good-looking guy for a plus-sized woman. Often accused of misogyny, LaBute this time says that men are jerks. JA
It’s a Wonderful Life, American Theater Company, through Dec. 31. The great film is done as a 90-minute radio play with live sound effects and singing commercials. There’s also a musical version at Porchlight Music Theatre, also to Dec. 31. You’ll shed a tear at both. JA
