Rodgers And Hammerstein

SIN NOMBRE (Comcast Movies and Events) Cary Fukunaga’s debut follows a Mexican gangster (Edgar Flores) and a Honduran woman (Paulina Gaitan) trekking north to the United States atop a freight train. He’s on the run. Soon, so is she. Despite the film’s being well meant and better made, you can always see strings yanking. (R; runs through Oct. 29) WESLEY MORRIS NIGHT SHIFT (Encore on Comcast) Ron Howard’s deft offbeat comedy introduces a new talent.

Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, who first teamed up together in the musical "Evita," are coming back to Broadway. The concert show "An Evening with Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin," which has been playing dates around the country, will land for 63 performances at the Barrymore Theatre starting Nov. 16. Opening night is set for Nov. 21. "I so adore working with Mandy," LuPone said. "He's always been a risk taker, a quality I love best in an actor. I treasure our partnership which began in 'Evita' and which today is stronger than ever.

Oh what a pretty nice mornin'/ oh what a promising day/ I got a kinda good feelin'/ "Oklahoma!" is sorta OK. Doesn't quite have the ring of Oscar Hammerstein's lyrics, does it? But the lines do sum up the fair to middling touring production at the Colonial Theatre. There isn't anything wrong with the show, particularly. The voices are all strong. The dancers all turn in some nice, athletic moves. The set is a decent reproduction of the Royal National Theatre original that played in London and New York.

By Cindy Cantrell, Globe Correspondent Three local actors will perform with Hollywood star Lorenzo Lamas in the North Shore Music Theatre's production of "The King and I," opening Tuesday and continuing through Oct. 9. Lamas will star as the King of Siam in the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, based on the real-life story of an English widow who travels to Siam with her son to tutor the king's children. Brookline actress Lisa Yuen will reprise the role of Lady Thiang, which she performed in the national touring production.

WALTHAM -- If you've only seen Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Carousel" in an abridged or amateur version, the Reagle Players' sumptuous and sensitive rendition of this 1945 epic will be a revelation. First and foremost is choreographer Gemze de Lappe's work. De Lappe was an original Agnes de Mille dancer, and she has re-created the breakthrough work of her mentor. These include a lengthy and emotionally complex ballet in Act 2. Reagle, now in its 37th season, is known for full-stage productions that usually include a village-size chorus and...

It must have seemed like a solid idea. Gloucester Stage has become a primary summer destination spot for theater lovers over the past couple of years, as well as a great showcase for local actors, directors, and designers. So why not begin the 2005 season under new producing director/associate artistic director Eric Engel with a collaboration with Tony McLean, who did quite a bit for local theater as head of Broadway in Boston (he facilitated the "Take Me Out" production that's at the Boston Center for the Arts, for example)
