Happening Tuesday: Shorts! onscreen, ‘Spamalot!’ and more

STAGE

Monty Python’s Spamalot Theatergoers in search of killer rabbits and persistent dismembered knights need look no further than this musical adapted for the stage — or “lovingly ripped off,” in the parlance of the production — from the absurd Arthurian comedy film “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” The show, which features a new score by Eric Idle and John Du Prez, skewers the Knights of the Round Table, pop culture, Broadway musicals and just about anything else it sets its sights on. Fred Kavli Theatre, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., Thousand Oaks. 8 p.m. $49-$69. (805) 449-2700. https://www.toaks.org.

Four-time Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh hosts the event, which has sold out every year since it began in 1997. Samuel Goldwyn Theater, 8949 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills. 7:30 p.m. $5.

MUSIC

Teena Marie Tribute Teena Marie was one of the few white artists to be fully embraced by the African American R&B community, but her powerful voice and skill as a writer made her beloved as a pop figure as well. At this tribute, Lalah Hathaway, George Duke and Marie’s daughter, Alia Rose, (among many others) will share memories in a panel discussion of her legacy. Grammy Museum, 800 W. Olympic Blvd. St. A245. 8 p.m. grammymuseum.org.
