Varla Jean Merman

Varla Jean Merman (from "Girls Will be Girls," "All My Children," and "Gone with the Breaking Wind") comes back to Baton Rouge tonight—the very town in which the ginger chanteuse was born Jeffery Roberson before inventing his fictitious, fabulous, drag alter ego. With an evening of classic, sidesplitting new songs—and maybe even an animal act—Miss Merman will work you into a titillating tizzy with some hysterical video clips and a tribute to Disney princesses that will have Walt's head turning in his frozen grave. Recommended for 18+. 8 pm. $35 plus fees. 100 Lafayette Street. manshiptheatre.org.
