While we\u2019re out of the thrust of festival season, there\u2019s still a lot of music in the air around town this weekend.<\/p>\n

A dance festival returns for its second year in La Jolla, a musical classic gets some shine in Normal Hights and a decidedly untraditional musical is coming back to sink its teeth into the Gaslamp Quarter.<\/p>\n

Befitting the name, it\u2019s a show with some teeth, exploring \u201cthe intersections of capitalism, oppression and patriarchy\u201d as it follows its characters through the fictional realm called \u2026 Cleveland?<\/p>\n
