1. See a classic musical

Relive a childhood favorite and see the Von Trapp family's story unfold on stage. This special production is in honor of the film’s 50th anniversary. (Cadillac Palace Theatre, 151 W Randolph St, 7:30pm. $24–$90)

2. Watch video art

A team of artists based in Vietnam makes up the Propeller Group, which creates video projects that explore their country’s history. The MCA’s exhibit includes multi-part videos that take a look at Vietnam’s fake antique trade and global funerary traditions. (Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E Chicago Ave, 10am. $7–$12)

3. Check out abstract art

See this group show that uses the concept of doubt to elevate art. This show includes a polarizing installation by Kevin Beasley, seemingly unfinished drawings by Goutam Ghosh and photos that will leave you with more questions than answers by Martha Wilson. (Renaissance Society, 5811 S Ellis Ave, 10am. Free)
