GO SEE IT: Theatre Three is taking a trip to Japan for its current show. In See What I Wanna See, Michael John LaChiusa takes three Japanese short stories and works them into a musical set in New York. The effect has the critics happy. “See What I Wanna See finally bears a surprisingly positive message, although there is plenty to offend the squeamish along the way,” Lawson Taitte writes on dallasnews.com. “If you’re not in that category, you wanna see it.” Martha Heimberg was also impressed. “Gorgeous songs, strong performances and dramatic staging overcome the sometimes overly complicated structure of this operatic-style musical,” she writes on theaterjones.com. M. Lance Lusk was a little more lukewarm, calling it, “uneven, yet sprightly,” on Front Row. Catch it through Aug. 14.
