Omigod you guys! That perky but determined Elle Woods (you know, the paragon of terminal pinkness) is back to chase boyfriend Warner (Anthony Carillo) from UCLA all the way to (and through) Harvard Law School in “Legally Blonde.”

Based on Amanda Brown’s novel and the 2001 MGM film, the seven-time Tony- nominated musical (with book by Heather Hach and music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin), plays through July 14 at Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista. John Vaughan directs and choreographs this lively and entertaining production.

Music – the great universal language – both unites and divides seven gay farmers in the world premiere musical “Harmony, Kansas,” playing through July 22 at Diversionary Theatre.

And by the way, harmony is the best thing about this show.

Heath (Jacob Caltrider) is your typical rugged, born-to-the-life farmer. He likes to keep to himself and dreams of adding 500 acres to the Kansas spread he owns.

His partner, transplanted big-city boy Julian (Tom Zohar), has a more expansive personality and a greater need for connection to a community.

WASHINGTON — Mary Cheney, daughter of former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, married longtime partner Heather Poe in Washington, D.C. on Friday, the family confirmed.

The two had been in a committed relationship for many years and were delighted that they could take advantage of the “opportunity to have the relationship recognized,” according to a statement released by Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne.

“Very happy to announce that as of this morning, Heather and I are legally married (at least in DC), 20 years to the day after our first date,” Mary Cheney posted on her Facebook page.

We all understand great big, bloody public wars leaving death and devastation in their wake. But playwright J.T. Rogers is more interested in those little niggling covert operations – the non-war wars – that seem to be more de rigueur these days.

Rogers’ “Blood And Gifts” investigates the Soviet incursion into Afghanistan in the 1980s (intended to replace a leader the Russians regarded as U.S.-leaning), which brought CIA operatives, covert operations, the titular “gifts” and heightened political division to that country.
