- The touring Broadway production "Wicked" opens its monthlong run tonight at 7:30 at the Capitol Theatre, 50 W. 200 South, Salt Lake City. The entire run is sold out, but there are scalpers, and there is the ticket lottery: Get your name on the list two hours before showtime, 10 names will be drawn 90 minutes before showtime, and those 10 each can buy a pair of tickets for $25 each, cash only. (And, for $25 each, you'll be in the nosebleed section.)

- British singing sensation and tabloid terror Lily Allen plays at In the Venue, 579 W. 200 South, Salt Lake City. The opening act is Natalie Portman's Shaved Head. Show starts at 8. Tickets are $30, at SmithsTix and 24Tix. (Allen is trumpeting her visit to Utah on her Twitter page, with this entry: "I've just been on Wikipedia and still can't figure it out. What is a Mormon?")

- Southern singer-songwriters Jason Isbell (with his band, The 400 Unit) and Justin Townes Earle (son of Steve Earle) share the bill at 8 at The State Room, 638 S. State St., Salt Lake City. Tickets are $17, at The State Room's website or at the door.
