bob's burgers live
Thursday: The Emmy-award winning sitcom comes to life in a stage production that mixes stand-up comedy, a table read and Q&A with an audience that should be delighted to meet the talented cast of the four-year-old series, one that is as clever and endearing as any cartoon currently on the air. H. Jon Benjamin, the velvet-toned actor who also provides the voice for "Archer" and has a deliciously dark sense of humor, leads a cast that includes Kristen Schaal, also terrific in the new series "Last Man on Earth." Have a Jucy Lucy before you arrive. (8 p.m. Thu., March 19, State Theatre, 805 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $29.50-$49.50. www.hennepintheatretrust.org or 1-800-982-2787.)
