Theater: The Wick Theatre in Boca Raton is like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates: You never know what you’re going to get. In its brief three-production history, the company has served up extremes of quality and lack of quality, but at least there are more of the former so far. So our fingers remain crossed for the Wick this weekend as it opens with David Yazbek’s sly, testosterone-fueled musical, The Full Monty, about a group of unemployed steel workers who form an unlikely Chippendale’s-ish dance troupe for subsistence money. Through March 23. 7901 N. Federal Highway, Boca Raton. (561) 995-2333.
Film: So you’ve got an office pool to enter for the Academy Awards next weekend, and you know those bets are usually won or lost in the smaller, less commercial categories like Best Animated Short. Fortunately, you can view all the nominees in that category this weekend at the Mos’Art Theatre in Lake Park. If you need some help, I would suggest going with Get a Horse!, an exceedingly clever merger of new technology and retro cartooning from Disney. But if you insist on becoming informed on all the nominees, head to the Mos’Art, 700 Park Ave. (561) 337-6763.
Music: When it comes to popular operas, it’s hard to beat The Barber of Seville. It’s a delightful, light-hearted romp of love and trickery, and you know a lot of Rossini’s music, from its unforgettable overture to its title character singing “Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!” as he boasts of his indispensability. Palm Beach Opera has put together a strong cast of fine singers, several of them new to the company, and it promises to be just the thing for a weekend visit to the Kravis. The show opens tonight and runs Saturday and Sunday. Call 833-7888 or the Kravis at 832-7469.
Art: It’s your last chance this weekend to catch the Morikami Museum’s look at street fashion in Japan (Breaking Boundaries), with its pictures of young people mixing pop culture elements in the most remarkable ways, and then wearing them. The west Delray museum, with its beautiful, peaceful Japanese Gardens, also is closing its exhibit of kogei art by 40 of the country’s best-known artists in the medium. A trip to the Morikami is always worthwhile, anyway, and these two shows just make it that much better. Call 495-0233 or visit www.morikami.org.
