Piccolo Teatro di Milano:

Hurray for the commedia dell'arte! Stock comedy routine present in literary works ranging from Shakespeare to Neil Gaiman (see the "Harlequin Valentine" comic book). Already got the tickets. It'll be fun to watch.

Another show that I'm planning on going to (already have the ticket - singular):

John Cale & The Tiger Lillies

http://www.performingarts.ucla.edu/event.asp?Event_ID=252

I'm not familiar with John Cale, but the Tiger Lillies did the original music to "Shockheaded Peter" (the self-proclaimed "Junk Opera"), the show Nya Nya and I saw in London. When Nya Nya and I saw it on its second run, however, it was Pere Ubu and the Pale Boys performing the music that the Tiger Lillies performed on the show's first run:

(national tour in 2006! fantabulicious!)

Side note: It was a sad, sad day when Rooners found out that the John Cleese show at ucla was sold out. If Rooners hadn't been such a lazy ass, she might have gotten said tickets. Monkey!
