HAMLET. Now that the city is preventing us from staking out our laboriously dug-out parking space with our lawn chairs, we may as well take them down to the Common and get an early spot for Hamlet, the 10th free outdoor summertime production from Steven Maler’s Commonwealth Shakespeare Company. Last year’s Much Ado About Nothing proved to be anything but, drawing an estimated 85,000. This year’s run, co-presented by the Wang Center for the Performing Arts, begins July 16 and goes through August 7. For more info, visit www.commonwealthshakespeare.org TORI AMOS. Although she’s got a new CD hitting shelves this month — The Beekeeper (Atlantic) — Amos’s latest tour is not of concert halls but of book shops. With the critic Ann Powers, she’s written Tori Amos: Piece By Piece, which she’ll sign on March 18 at 6 p.m. at the Boston University Barnes & Noble, 660 Beacon Street in Kenmore Square. Call (617) 267-8484. RUSSELL SHERMAN. The celebrated pianist caps a year-long victory lap by marking his 75th birthday with a Jordan Hall recital on March 28, with a program near and dear to his heart: Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 4, Op.7; Debussy’s Two Preludes from Book II — Bruyeres and Ondine; and Liszt’s Les Jeux d’Eaux a la Villa d’Este, Soree de Vienne, No. 6, and Reminiscences de Don Juan. Call (617) 585-1122. PETER PAN. Gliding in on the favorable tailwind of Finding Neverland, Cathy Rigby takes flight for what we’re assured is her final voyage as the boy who won’t grow up. The production plays the Wang Theatre March 29 through April 2. Tickets are $25 to $75; call (800) 447-7400. ANDREA BOCELLI. April 2 at the DCU Center (formerly the Worcester Centrum): call (617) 931-2000.
