Around the World in 80 Days, Lookingglass, through June 1. The familiar Jules Verne tale of daring 1870's global adventure should perfectly suit Lookingglass' highly physical style as Phileas Fogg hops from Europe to India to Hong Kong and the Wild West. JA
Candles to the Sun, Eclipse Theatre at Victory Gardens Greenhouse, through May 4. This is an extremely admirable excavation of Tennessee Williams' early drama of a mining family suffering a series of hardships during the Great Depression. SCM
Los Desaparecidos ( The Vanished ) , Babes With Blades at Raven Theatre, through May 11. Don't let the title fool you—if you liked The Princess Bride, you'll love this swashbuckling romance of 'unusual relationships' in 16th-century Spain. MSB
Nine, Porchlight Music Theatre, through May 18. As film genius and ladies man Guido Contini, panther-like Jeff Parker winds and grinds through Federico Fellini's hot-blooded, cold-hearted, incongruously funny self-inspired tale of a captivating emotional wreck. CS
