Machos, Teatro Luna at Chicago Dramatists; through Dec. 16. This women’s exploration of what it means to be macho Latinos is a hoot, especially since the whole ensemble dons male drag and has manly stereotypical mannerisms down pat. SCM
The Philadelphia Story, Remy Bumppo at Victory Gardens Greenhouse, through Jan. 6. You all know the famous film with Hepburn, Grant and Stewart. The original play’s a little different but just as stylish and sophisticated a period comedy, with a great cast. JA
The Radio City Christmas Spectacular, Rosemont Theatre, through Dec. 2. Sugar plum fairy teddy bears, break-dancing elves, and the here-to-eternity, high-kicking Rockettes. CS
The Rocky Horror Show, Mercury Theatre, through Dec. 2. It’s astounding. Time is fleeting. But the sense-surround quarters and chest-thumping amplification make this 30-year-old liberation manifesto every bit as toucha-toucha-touch-me exciting as we recall. MSB
