Best Bets
Music The Chandler Travis Philharmonic. This big band takes the stage in gaudy consignment-shop outfits that clash like cymbals; the hats alone are worth the price of admission. The Philharmonic's repertoire is free-range: rock, Dixieland jazz, bubblegum pop, ranchero, ska, and some genres unknown to man. Every song is played a little bit sloppy, and with absolute virtuosity.

"Lotsa Lucky Leprechauns." Celebrate St. Patrick's Day at this stage production at Pitman's Broadway Theatre, presented by the children's theater. Four Irish stories featured will have plenty of shamrocks, shillelaghs, and more in the spirit of the Emerald Isle.

Film
New this week: 21 Jump Street *** (out of four stars) This potty-mouthed and drug-laced reimagining of the 1980s TV show 21 Jump Street has one of the highest laughs-per-minute ratios since the Naked Gun films. Costars Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill play the baby-faced undercover cops assigned to bust a high school drug ring, and despite the raunch and noise, they are endearingly funny. R (drug use, extreme profanity, violence, sexual situations)
