Broadway favorites, musical tributes and magical mysteries highlight this week’s things to do and see in CT

Some extraordinary connections await you on Connecticut stages this week.

There’s “Beauty and the Beast” in its latest community theater manifestation, and “Come From Away,” the tale of panicked travelers finding unlikely solace in a small Canadian community, returns on tour.

There’s a gaggle of talented musicians becoming “Werewolves of New Haven” in honor of Warren Zevon, an organist from the famed Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris who will be featured at Trinity College, and two sterling indie singer/songwriters, Ty Segall and Mike Donovan, making music together.

Ann Leary will be quizzing Fiona Davis about her latest book, and three “Masters of Illusion” make magic.

Here are some of the top things to do and see.

Werewolves of New Haven Cafe Nine, 250 State St., New Haven

Over a dozen musicians from the New Haven scene, including members of The Gleeful Conspiracy, John Spignesi Band, The Zambonis, Cobalt Rhythm Kings and Shellye Valauskas Experience, have banded together for a tribute to the legendary L.A.-based singer/songwriter Warren Zevon who died in 2003. You know Zevon’s songs whether in his own voice or through versions by the likes of Linda Ronstadt, Ry Cooder, Hank Williams Jr. and The Pretenders. The best-known songs are “Werewolves of London,” “Lawyers, Guns and Money,” “Excitable Boy,” “Carmelita” and “Play It All Night Long,” but Zevon’s career spanned four decades and you just know that this bunch of fans is going to add a few obscurities. It’s an afternoon show on Nov. 5 at 4 p.m. at Cafe Nine in New Haven. $10. cafenine.com.

Gipsy Kings The Bushnell, 166 Capitol Ave., Hartford

The French ensemble of Spanish Romani lineage, The Gipsy Kings are on an international tour with founding guitarist Tonino Baliardo touting their latest album “Renaissance.” Nov. 7 at 6:30 p.m. at The Bushnell. $53-$200. bushnell.org/shows-concerts/gipsy-kings.

Trinity Organ Series Trinity College Chapel, 300 Summit St., Hartford

Olivier Latry, Titular Organist of France’s Cathedral of Notre-Dame and professor of organ at the Paris Conservatory, performs on the famed Austin organ at Trinity College Chapel on Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. trincoll.edu.

Aaron Tveit The Bushnell, 166 Capitol Ave., Hartford

Broadway star Aaron Tveit is bringing his concert act to Hartford just days after it was announced that he’ll be taking over the title role in “Sweeney Todd” from Josh Groban early next year. Tveit was the original star of the stage musical version of “Moulin Rouge,” which happens to be coming to The Bushnell later this month on its first national tour. Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. $49-$76. bushnell.org.

‘Come From Away’ Shubert Theatre, 247 College St., New Haven

“Come From Away” has returned. The heartwarming hit Broadway musical about airplanes diverted to a small town in Canada had one of its first public readings at the Goodspeed in East Haddam a decade ago, ran on Broadway for over five years and has been touring since 2018. It returns to the Shubert in New Haven for five performances Nov. 8-11. Wednesday through Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2 and 7:30 p.m. $52.40-$147.60. shubert.com.

Fiona Davis in conversation with Ann Leary Mark Twain House & Museum, 351 Farmington Ave., Hartford

Two wonderful novelists, Fiona Davis and Ann Leary, both appeared at the Mark Twain House last year to talk about their new novels. This year, the prolific Davis has another book out and Leary is joining her at the Twain House to discuss it. Davis’ book is “The Spectacular” and like many of her bestselling novels, it involves a building, in this case Radio City Music Hall in the mid-20th century. Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. $42, $37 for Twain House members. marktwainhouse.org.

Hartford Symphony Orchestra: Ravel and Debussy The Bushnell, 166 Capitol Ave., Hartford

The Hartford Symphony Orchestra’s latest Masterworks concert is called “Ravel and Debussy” because it features their respective classical hits “Afternoon of a Faun” and “Mother Goose,” but the bigger attraction might be classical harmonica virtuoso Cy Leo performing Michael Spivakovsky’s “Concerto for Harmonica and Orchestra.” Huang Ruo’s “Folk Songs for Orchestra” is also on the bill. Nov. 10-12 at The Bushnell’s Belding Theater. Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. $35-$69. hartfordsymphony.org.

‘Beauty and the Beast’ Cheney Hall, 177 Hartford Road, Manchester

Just as happened with the same musical when it was done by the Legacy Theatre in Branford earlier this year, Little Theater of Manchester’s rendition of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” at Cheney Hall is on the verge of selling out before it has even opened. It runs Nov. 10-26, with performances at the family-friendly times of Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $23-$35, with discounts for seniors, students, military and groups. cheneyhall.org/beauty-beast.

‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ Opera House Players, 100 High St., Enfield

There’s a major 50th-anniversary national tour of “Jesus Christ Superstar” still traveling the country (and coming to Waterbury in April), but this is also a revered rock opera that community theaters often excel at doing. Its staying power is significant. The Opera House Players in Enfield show you “What’s the Buzz?” and count the 40 lashes Nov. 10-26. Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. $25, $21 seniors, students and children. operahouseplayers.org.

Ty Segall Space Ballroom, 295 Treadwell St., Hamden

The indie rock living legend Ty Segall has released 14 albums plus dozens of singles, EPs and collaborations. He toys with sounds that range from power pop to psychedelia, punk and hard rock. His latest album “Hello, Hi,” released almost a year and a half ago, has an anti-folk/soft rock vibe, but a new single, “Eggman”/ “Void” brings back a degree of noise and loud beats. Segall is doing a solo acoustic set on Nov. 11 at 8 p.m. at the Space Ballroom in Hamden. The opening act is also indie royalty: Mike Donovan, who fronted Sic Alps and also released cassettes by cool experimental bands on his Folding label. $35. spaceballroom.com.

Masters of Illusion Garde Arts Center, 325 State St., New London

The latest live stage version of The CW’s TV series “Masters of Illusion” features three acts who’ve appeared on the show: the comical Naathan Phan, grand illusionist Jason Bishop (assisted by Kim Hess and Gizmo the dog) and crossbow-wielding “danger act” Ben Blaque. Expect audience participation, as well as a lot of “How’d they do that?!” expressions. Nov. 11 at 8 p.m. at the Garde Arts Center in New London. $38-$68. gardearts.org. “Masters of Illusion” is also playing Nov. 12 at the Ridgefield Playhouse, but that show is sold out.
