“Alton Brown Live: Eat Your Science”
Things could get messy in the first few rows of this event in which the star of “Cutthroat Kitchen” and “Good Eats” mixes science, music, talk show tropes, audience participation and edibles into a stage production.

LaChanze
Since I last saw LaChanze—in a Philadelphia production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” in which she sounded glorious—she has gone on to star on Broadway in “The Color Purple” (for which she won a Tony Award), “If/Then,” and “Ragtime.” She also sang “Amazing Grace” at the dedication of the National September 11 Memorial—an amazingly graceful act given that she lost her husband in the attack. Here, she’ll offer her cabaret show “Feeling Good,” in which she covers tunes ranging from Diana Ross’ “It’s My Turn” to Stephen Sondheim’s “Losing My Mind.” I’m already bracing myself for “I’m Here” from “The Color Purple.” May 5 Cabaret at Indiana Landmarks Center Details
