Bingo: The Winning Musical

A trio of old friends—and another friend’s daughter—suffer through the ups and downs of a bingo game that suspiciously seems a lot like life, but with audience participation, bingo cards and colored-ink daubers, plus some songs. Musical and dramatic conventions are thrown catawampus into a plot, but like the bingo games, it doesn’t really matter. W 7pm; Th 2pm & 7 pm; F 8pm; Sa 2pm & 8pm; Su 2pm. Through 1/8. $33-$48. California Musical Theatre at the Cosmopolitan Cabaret, 1000 K St.; (916) 557-1999; www.calmt.com.
