The tall tales his two irascible uncles tell him—stories of hidden treasure, beguiling princesses, and derring-do—take the young hero to the sands of Arabia and beyond. Featuring music and lyrics from the songwriters of the now-on-Broadway First Date, this is sure to be another runaway hit.

This one-man show is based on a fake look at Short's life—think Saturday Night Live with Short as the only cast member. The entire show is intended to be highly improvisational, making each show different from the last. In addition to putting his comedic talents to work, Short's performance will involve audience participation. 8 pm; call for pricing; noncancelable/nonrefundable Hitchcock's Psycho with the Seattle Symphony at Benaroya Hall NEW Wednesday, October 30 Just in time for Halloween, Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller Psycho comes to life on the big screen at Benaroya Hall. Renowned Northwest conductor and film score specialist Adam Stern will lead the Seattle Symphony Orchestra as it performs the chilling soundtrack while the full-length film plays on the screen with dialogue. Psycho is the quintessential American suspense/horror film. For many, it remains the yardstick by which all other thrillers are measured. Prior to the film, join us in Torchy's bar for a fun Hitchcock trivia social with specials and prizes. 5:30–6:30 pm Hitchcock social (optional); 7:30 pm movie; $74, $66; noncancelable/nonrefundable Pink Martini with the Seattle Symphony at Benaroya Hall Tuesday, December 10 Wednesday, December 11 Based in Portland, Oregon, this internationally known little orchestra sells out wherever it goes.

NEW Anything Goes October 15–November 3 A zesty new production of Cole Porter's 1934 Broadway hit featuring a transatlantic ocean liner, a boatload of madcap comedy, tap dancing, and some of Porter's most renowned songs, including "You're the Top," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "It's De-Lovely," and the classic "Anything Goes." Onboard a London-bound luxury liner, television and Broadway star Rachel York stars as evangelistturned-nightclub-singer Reno Sweeney, who tries to help a fellow American woo an English heiress returning home to marry a man she doesn't love. But as the S.S. American heads out to sea with a trio of starcrossed lovers, this hilariously bumpy ride proves that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of dancing sailors, an exotic disguise, and some good old-fashioned blackmail. The New York Times calls this zany musical comedy a "willfully silly tale of love, deception, and celebrity-chasing on the high seas with knockout production numbers and a candy box collection of Cole Porter tunes." It won 2011 Tony Awards for Best Musical Revival and Choreography.
