What's the difference between a hero and a monster? That question is at the heart of this new tuner inspired by the tale of Odysseus and Polyphemus the Cyclops. After a smash run in LA, this mash-up of myth and rock music is finishing up a limited run at The Tank, and you can live-stream the final performance at home. Broadway's Eric William Morris (King Kong) is Odysseus, Freestyle Love Supreme's Aneesa Folds is Dionysus and Aladdin alum Korie Lee Blossey plays the misunderstood one-eyed brute.

Two-time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz (Wicked, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Catch Me If You Can, My Fair Lady) presents an encore performance of his intensely personal solo show. The Broadway star spent much of the pandemic shooting the short-lived NBC series Debris in Canada. This intimate set was inspired by his time in isolation while doing the TV show, as he explores themes of alienation, anxiety and hope. Don't expect to hear songs from his stage career; instead, he'll play his own arrangements on piano and guitar of tunes by pop and rock royalty, including Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton, Peter Gabriel, Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac. Streaming live from the cabaret hub's swanky stage. If you prefer to attend in person, click here for info.

The plays are Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl's Ola nā Iwi, about a Hawaiian trying to repatriate stolen bones; Anuvab Pal's Chaos Theory, about a pair of Indian immigrants who become professors at Columbia University; Prince Gomolvilas' Big Hunk o' Burnin' Love, about a family secret that upends a 30-year-old's life; and Velina Hasu Houston's Tea, centering on four Japanese wives of American servicemen living in the US.
