CINDERELLA

Boston Ballet kicks off its 42nd season with the US premiere of James Kudelka’s art-deco inspired production of Cinderella, which was unveiled last year for the National Ballet of Canada. It’s at the Wang Theatre, 270 Tremont St, Boston | October 13-23 | $18-$105 | 800.447.7400.

TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE

Harold Gould — a name that will raise fewer eyebrows than if you said, "the dude who played Lindsay Lohan’s dad in Freaky Friday" — is a last-minute replacement for Hal Linden in the title role of Tuesdays with Morrie. The play, a bowl of chicken soup for the journalistic soul, concerns a reporter’s relationship with a sage old professor dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease who expounds on the meaning of life. It runs October 18-30 at the Colonial Theatre, 106 Boylston St, Boston | $27.50-$72.50 | on sale Sunday at 10 am | 617.931.ARTS.

CELTIC WOMAN

Because it sounded better than "Five Irish Chicks Singing," okay? They can call it whatever they want as long as those eyes are smiling. With a set list that runs from "Ave Maria" to Enya, it sounds like a show that only a PBS pledge drive could love. And yet this thing sells out everywhere it goes, even propelling the Celtic Woman soundtrack album to a 19-week stay at #1 on the Billboard world-music charts. They’re back November 10 at the Opera House, 539 Washington St, Boston | $35-$65 | 617.931.ARTS.
