We have a winner. Subtitled "A Musical Tribute to My Lost Testicle," Max Wojtanowicz's show is charming, witty, moving and thoroughly enjoyable. Singing about his journey as a survivor of testicular cancer, Wojtanowicz is sharp and wry, avoiding what he calls the "pastelization of cancer." With Andrew Cooke on piano, he quotes Queen and Sondheim. And because he has such charisma, and a gorgeous voice, "Ball" is not so much about what he lost, but the grace, beauty and elegance that he gained from his traumatic survivor's experience. (5:30 p.m. Mon, 8:30 p.m. Wed., 7 p.m. Thu. & 10 p.m. Sat., Southern Theater, 1420 Washington Av. S., Mpls.)
'Ball': This charming one-man musical isn't your average cancer-survivor's tale
