SATURDAY, MAY 23
Just the thought of Nigel, Derek, and David with their crazed looks, studded leather
accessories, and muscle tees is enough to have us in stitches. As if
Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, and Michael McKean hadn’t shown their musical
chops memorably enough in
This Is Spinal Tap, they had to go on and
flaunt their versatility. They scribbled a few screwy folk songs and voila!
A
Mighty Wind. If you think fondly of their musical mishaps and triumphs on
screen, you should see the mischief they’ve been stirring up on their 30-city
tour,
Unwigged & Unplugged. When they saunter into the
Wilbur
Theatre (246 Tremont Street, Boston, 617.931.2000) tonight, you’ll hear
heavy metal (sort of), folk (kind of), and everything spoof-able that lies
between. Troubadours? Maybe. Comedians? No doubt. Get tickets ($60) at
www.ticketmaster.com. The laugh-in — ahem — the concert starts at 8 p.m.
