Over the course of the night, the costumed detec- tives will uncover clues, interrogate audience members that may or may not be part of the show, and help everyone get closer to solving the mystery.

Jesus Christ Superstar The Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice rock opera may be “loosely” based on the last days of Jesus, but the Welk Resort Theatre’s dazzling production is tight as a tourniquet. All the voices turn tunes into high- wire acts with no net below. Direc- tor/choreographer Ray Limon has fashioned one of the most daring, most complete shows I’ve seen at the Welk in quite some time. The tensions — has Jesus “gone too far” — amplified by the hard-rock score, propel the show in spite of its built-

The Last Tiger in Haiti The world premiere of Jeff Augus- tin’s tale of Haitian slaves and storytelling has the makings for high drama. It’s Max’s last night as a restavek, the property of an owner. But when he leaves, who will teach the other children the stories? And is he prepared for the outside world? Though the two-act piece moves slowly, the ending, when tables turn and turn again, is worth the very long wait. La Jolla Playhouse production’s so authentic — voices, costumes — the vocal accuracy makes them hard to


understand. Worth a try. LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE, 2910 LA JOLLA VILLAGE DR., UCSD. 858-550-1010. 8PM THURSDAYS & FRIDAYS, 2PM & 8PM SATURDAYS, 2PM & 7PM SUNDAYS.


Macbeth Brian Kulik’s direction of the “Scot- tish play” for the Old Globe is more concerned with doing something different than serving the play. So Jonathan Cake’s Macbeth speaks like a sportscaster, pausing at odd spots, and Marsha Stephanie Blake’s Lady Macbeth’s so reigned in she’s


almost placid. Some scenes have invention (the Porter has a female companion, and just as snockered), but the production in no way offers tragic stature for the “dead butcher” and his “fiend-like queen.” OLD GLOBE THEATRE, 1363 OLD GLOBE WAY, BALBOA PARK. 619-234-5623. 8PM THURSDAYS, FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS, & SUNDAYS.
