Clique bait
Tina Fey’s musical “Mean Girls,” adapted from the hit 2004 Paramount Pictures film, takes the stage Jan 10 to 12 as part of American Theatre Guild’s Broadway in Thousand Oaks series.
The story tells the tale of Cady Heron, who’s grown up on an African savanna but is not at all prepared for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. To rise to the top of the pecking order, she takes on The Plastics, a trio of frenemies led by a charming but ruthless queen bee. Cady learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung. Tickets run from $65 to $122.
Dog days in T.O.
Grammy-nominated Three Dog Night (“Mama Told Me (Not to Come),” “Joy to the World,” “Shambala” and “One”) is now in its fifth decade and claims some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music.
In the years 1969 through 1974, no other group achieved more Top 10 hits, moved more records or sold more concert tickets. The legendary band returns to the Kavli Theater Fri., Jan. 24 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $45 to $75.
Tomorrow is a Latter day
The outrageous “Book of Mormon,” about the adventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries sent halfway across the world to spread the good word, makes its way back to Thousand Oaks Feb. 6 to 9.

Though Lovett’s Grammy awards span the years, with his being named Best Country Male Vocal in 1989, he’s likely best known by the younger crowd for his 1995 duet “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” with Randy Newman for the animated film “Toy Story.” Tickets begin at $57.
