Such incredible musical artists came out of the 1950s and 1960s: storyteller Otis “The Big O†Redding who swiped the International Male Vocalist Of The Year award from Elvis Presley the year prior to his death; the spirited, multitalented Ray Charles who continues to inspire beyond the grave; powerhouse vocalist Aretha Franklin who demanded R-E-S-P-E-C-T and got it; and Sam & Dave with their hits “I’m A Soul Man†and “Hold On! I’m Coming.†Olympia’s Harlequin Productions puts on a heart pounding, high-energy musical tribute to these R&B stars and others of Atlantic Records in their show “Let the Good Times Roll â€" A Tribute to Atlantic Records.†Comfy seating is provided, but if past shows are any indication, most of the audience will be on their feet dancing their way down the aisles to the dance floor and singing along to longtime favorite tunes belted out by Harlequin’s talented vocalists. The music itself is performed by a live, swinging band of musicians. Like the originators of the songs, Harlequin’s performers put a unique and individual spin on each number by acting out the songs’ stories with exaggerated flair and enthusiastic, dramatic passion. After all, they don’t call it musical theater for nothing. Through July 29, 8 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, $29-$34, State Theater, 202 Fourth Ave. E., downtown Olympia, (360) 786-0151. â€" Jennifer Johnson

The Tacoma Musical Playhouse intended to show Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic "Cats" this summer. However, according to a TMP press release, "The licensing company of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s "Cats" recently restricted the performing rights of the show due to a professional tour coming to Seattle."
Bummer.
The playhouse will show "The King and I" instead, opening July 7 and running through Aug 6. For tickets, call (253) 565-6867 or visit their Web site. â€" Ken Swarner

The Lakewood Playhouse offers a pay what you can performance tonight for "Fiddler On the Roof." They start selling tickets at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. performance.
This musical about a Russian village at the rise of communism never gets old because, at its heart, the show is a look at family and the role of traditions to keep the family together and when those same traditions work to drive it apart. The show runs through April 30, with showtimes at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. "Fiddler" is a staple of community theater because it is a well-known work with a lot of roles for everyone. And it just seems fitting that a play about a community take a community to stage it well. The theater is located at 5729 Lakewood Towne Center Blvd., Lakewood. Tickets are $12 to $20 and available by calling (253) 588-0042. - Steve Dunkelberger
