Everyone’s favorite bondage book hits the stage singing, dancing and joking in this musical parody interpretation of BDSM trilogy 50 Shades of Grey. With 11 original songs, dance numbers and a live backing band, the musical starts with a demure ladies book club as they adventure to read the salacious novel and goes from there. It’s not suitable for kids but not too filthy; the Washington Post described it as ‘silly sadomasochism.”
8 p.m. Thursday and Friday. $45. Taft Theatre, 317 E. Fifth St., Downtown, tafttheatre.org.
