Judy and Goodbye Yellowbrick Road. Through August
10 at New Conservatory Theatre Center, 25 Van Ness Ave. Info

• A Chorus Line Although I saw it in
New York many years ago, I’d forgotten how gay-relevant A
Chorus Line is. Truly groundbreaking when it first
opened in 1975, it’s still relevant and moving, and the current
production S.F. production at the Curran theatre is top-notch. A
grueling audition in which dancers must reveal themselves, it’s
described as “the musical for everyone who’s ever had a dream
and put it all on the line.” Through July 27 at The Curran
Theatre, 445 Geary St. Info at
www.SHNSF.com.
• For the historically-minded - an exhibition of
photographs by the late Alan B. Stone, a premier beefcake
photographer and entrepreneur in the 1950s. Stone’s male
physique photos and magazines are on display, as well as artful
streetscapes, construction worker and dock scenes of old
Montreal, where he lived through a repressive anti-gay crackdown
in the 1950s and ‘60s, and his boy scout camp photos (he was an
official, paid photographer for the Boy Scouts of Canada!). It’s
at SF Camerawork, 657 Mission St., through August 23. Info at
www.SFCameraWork.org.
