As bad as that recent Hitchcock biopic was, it doesn’t damage the greatness of the suspense master’s films.

The 150-character spy romp stages at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, through Feb. 10. Tickets are $5-$10. Call 521-1786 or visit jewelboxtheatre.org.

Beat it


OKG7 things to do

Colin Currie is sure to ’phone in his performance with the Oklahoma City Philharmonic — vibraphone, that is. The percussionist is adept at solos on the marimba, blocks and drum sets, too, so no wonder the event carries the title of Motion & Emotion. Copland and Tchaikovsky are among those on tap for the 8 p.m. Saturday concert at Civic Center Music Hall, 201 N. Walker. Tickets are $25- $52. Call 232-7575 or visit okcphilharmonic.org.
