LEANN RIMES AND THE BOSTON POPS. Pops goers have become accustomed to seeing middle-of-the-road pop stars sit in with the orchestra for a few songs, but this pairing is the kickoff for a nationwide series of one-night-only performances that are being billed as a kind of anti–MTV Unplugged: "Instead of stripping music down to the core, the series will offer artists an unconventional opportunity to perform their songs in ways that they choose, with the full backing of some of America’s finest symphony orchestras." Rimes joins the Pops for a full set on May 23 at Symphony Hall, 301 Massachusetts Avenue in Boston. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.; call (617) 266-1200.

TAKE ME OUT. No relation, to the Franz Ferdinand hit, Richard Greenberg’s 2003 Tony-winning musical about a major-league MVP who decides to come out of the closet gets its New England debut thanks to the joint efforts of SpeakEasy Stage Company, Boston Theatre Works, and Broadway In Boston. It runs April 29 through June 11 at the Boston Center for the Arts’ Roberts Studio Pavilion. Tickets are $30 to $40; call (617) 933-8600.

FALSETTOS. The Huntington Theatre Company has assembled a cast and crew of Broadway vets and young turks for its production of the Tony-winning James Lapine (book) and William Finn (songs) musical, which takes a broad view of family values as a father comes out of the closet to his wife and son but tries to keep the nuclear unit together in a household that includes his gay lover. It runs May 20 through June 26 at the Boston University Theatre, 264 Huntington Avenue in Boston. Tickets are $14 to $74; call (617) 266-0800.

"DEEP INSIDE THE BLUES." Phoenix blues critic Ted Drozdowski contributed text to Margot Cooper’s photo exhibition at the National Heritage Museum, which documents some of the last living Mississippi hill-country bluesmen. Drozdowski, who’s also a member of the blues duo Scissormen, gives a lecture/performance on April 24 at 2 p.m., mixing commentary and history with music drawn from the subjects of the exhibit. The NHM is at 33 Marrett Road in Lexington; call (781) 861-6559, or visit www.monh.org
