If you take your littles to one show this spring, make it Finding Nemo at First Stage. This “theatre for young audiences” version of the classic Disney & Pixar film is a musical adventure featuring book, music, and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez—the dream team behind Frozen. The music is catchy, and the epic tale of a clown fish father trying to find his lost little fish in the big blue ocean is nicely compacted into a 75-minute (with intermission) spectacle.

Ice cream. The color yellow. Roller coasters. There are so many life-affirming, wonderful things in this world. Every Brilliant Thing is a one-man (or one-woman) show that celebrates life in all its brilliance—and resilience.
