'Flashdance'
Opening Tuesday: Adapted from the 1983 film that helped to make leotards and leg warmers famous, this musical waltzes into Minnesota for the first time.

As they say, if you're here for the plot, you've come to the wrong show. The score includes a pack of 1980s radio hits: "Flashdance — What a Feeling," "Maniac" and "Manhunt." (7:30 p.m. Tue.-Thu., 8 p.m. Fri., 2 & 8 p.m. Sat., 1& 6:30 p.m. next Sun. $34-$99. Orpheum Theatre, 910 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. 1-800-982-2787 or www.hennepintheatretrust.org.)
