Theater: The 101 Dalmatians Musical

Though Broadway draws a good deal of its ideas from Disney movies à la The Lion King, the production of THE 101 DALMATIANS MUSICAL is based more on the plot of the 1956 book by Dodie Smith. Expect true villainy from Drama Desk Award winner Rachel York's portrayal of Cruella De Vil. Through Nov. 1. $15-$65. Wed., Fri., 8 p.m.; Thurs., 1 and 8 p.m.; Sat., 2 and 8 p.m.; Sun., 1 and 6:30 p.m. Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, 2800 Cobb Galleria Parkway. 800-982-2787. www.ticketmaster.com.
