Hans Zimmer’s film themes played on strings at the National Nordic Museum on November 1 sit a few hours before Carlos Mencia takes the Emerald City Comedy Club stage. Oh, Mary! at the Paramount, a clever Off-Broadway-style comedy with a bigger heart, is the most theatrical choice on the list. Read together, the week swings from orchestral sweep to stand-up to rock.
