Cats, Theo Ubique at No Exit Cafe, extended through Feb. 20. Oooh, I taw a puddy tat—the furry felines dancing on little cat feet all but curl up in our laps, but where else in this tiny room can playgoers see every whisker-twitch and hear every fragile meow of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s popular musical score? MSB
The Lonesome West, Gift Theatre, extended through Jan. 30. Martin McDonagh’s gloomy portrait of two squabbling brothers in a western Irish village takes on new and universal resonances in this tiny storefront space under Sheldon Patinkin’s direction. MSB
Spamalot, Drury Lane Theatre, Oakbrook Terrace, through March 6. You don’t have to be a fan of Monty Python’s Flying Circus to enjoy this sublimely silly and Broadway-caliber production that is blatantly (yet lovingly) ripped off from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. SCM
Travels with my Aunt, Writers’ Theatre, through March 27. This intimate work of theatrical fabulosity, adapted from Graham Greene’s comic novel, is visually and verbally stylish. Its dazzling four-man cast all play the Aunt, and everyone else! Don’t miss. JA
