“Jersey Boys”: Now at Mercury Theater Chicago on Southport, the jukebox musical story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons gets a hometown production. The standout cast is led by Michael Metcalf as Frankie, Tribune critic Chris Jones writes in his review, a stage talent “should become a lot better known after people hear him sing here.” Through May 19 at Mercury Theater Chicago, 3745 N. Southport Ave.; tickets $70-$90 at mercurytheaterchicago.com

“The Time Machine: A Tribute to the ’80s”: The setup might be pretty simple — a nutty uncle with a time machine takes a young music fan back to the 1980s to be schooled in a different generation of music.

Clark St.; tickets $56.50-$65.50 at 773-769-4451 and blackensemble.org
