Theater & Dance MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN’S PICK
Don they now their gay apparel
Four-part male harmony is a barbershop quartet. Dress the singers in campy, mid-20th-century drag, however, and you’ve got yourself a beauty shop quartet. That’s how the Kinsey Sicks singing group describes itself. The comedic troupe will bring its irreverent holiday road show, “Oy Vey in a Manger,” to Theater J for a two-week run of Christmas-themed song parodies and shtick. // Saturday through Jan. 2. Theater J, 1529 16th St. NW. 800-494-8497.
www.washingtondcjcc.org. $15-$60.

“South Pacifi c” The Broadway revival of the World War II musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein garnered rave
reviews and numerous Tonys when it opened in 2008. Now the much- loved show responsible for lodging “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair” into so many heads makes its way to the Kennedy Center. // Tuesday through Jan. 16. Kennedy Center, Opera House, 2700 F St. NW. 202-467-4600.

PLAYING TOURIST: My husband and I are spending the weekend in the city to celebrate his birthday. Are there any under- appreciated exhibits/shows/ sights we should add to our list? We’ll be staying in the Dupont Circle area.
STEPHANIE
MERRY: You’ll be near two of my fa- vorite museums — the Phillips Collection and the Textile Mu- seum are totally underappreci- ated. You’ll also be relatively close to the National Geographic Mu- seum (geckos!).

Music DAVID MALITZ’S PICK
Clan enough
Attending a Wu-Tang Clan concert is a bit like playing the lottery: You have to hope to hit the right numbers. In the case of the Staten Island rap crew, it’s the number onstage. If the entire group is there, you’re in for a treat, but this is a rarity on the level of a complete assembly of the Justice League of America. As long as ringleader/party starter Method Man and a pair out of Raekwon, GZA and Ghostface Killah — the most-skilled verse-spitters — are present, it should be enough. // 8 p.m. Saturday. The State Theatre, 220 N. Washington St., Falls Church. 703-237-0300.
www.thestatetheatre.com. $50.
