Ain’t Misbehavin’, Goodman Theatre, through Aug. 3. Five outstanding Chicago-area performers—and an eight-piece band—sing, dance and act up a storm in this extremely entertaining 1978 musical revue dedicated to the music of Thomas ‘Fats’ Waller. SCM
The Mark of Zorro, Lifeline Theatre, through July 20. It’s your last chance to see the flashing swords, mighty horses and Spanish dancers in this swashbuckling adaptation of a classic costume novel, although it may reopen in September at Theatre Building Chicago. MSB
Superior Donuts, Steppenwolf, through Aug. 17. Set in Uptown, this new opus from Pulitzer Prize/Tony Award winner Tracy Letts distills the familiar small change of TV comedy and drama into an entertaining event elevated by superior acting—not donuts. JA
