WEEK IN PREVIEW

THEATER

Jack Klugman follows up his nine-month hit Broadway run in Neil Simon’s “The Sunshine Boys” by headlining in Arthur Miller’s classic “Death of a Salesman,” at the Falcon Theatre in Burbank. The play, selected by Falcon president Garry Marshall, is the theater’s first in-house production. It opens Friday.

DANCE

It isn’t May 5, but you’d never know it: Ballet Folklorico de Mexico surveys Latino folklore at the Universal Amphitheatre starting Friday, Ballet Folklorico Mexicano arrives at Orange Coast College on Saturday, and L.A.’s own Danza Floricanto presents “Si Se Puede” on Friday at Cal State L.A.

MUSIC

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma returns to the Hollywood Bowl on Tuesday as soloist with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, under music director Jeffrey Kahane. Ma, above, plays his first North American performance of John Tavener’s “The Protecting Veil.” Kahane also conducts Schumann’s Second Symphony.

ART

Parrallel solo exhibitions by two pioneering California Modernists will be featured in “John McLaughlin Insider Art: Paintings” and “Gordon Wagner Outsider Art: Assemblages.” Both shows will open on Tuesday at Tobey C. Moss Gallery in West Hollywood.

VIDEO

Even though the characters in “The Last Days of Disco” made fun of it, the 1955 animated film “Lady and the Tramp” is one of Walt Disney’s most enchanting. It’s a wonderful story about a pedigree spaniel who falls for a scruffy mutt. The newly restored version arrives on video Tuesday.

JAZZ

The Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday hosts tributes to drummer Art Blakey (a Jazz Messengers reunion group with Benny Golson, Curtis Fuller and Brian Lynch), Dizzy Gillespie (Paquito D’Rivera’s United Nation Orchestra) and Charles Mingus (the frequently riotous Mingus Big Band).

POP MUSIC

In an era of nostalgia-dominated, money-motivated reunions, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have built creatively on their Led Zeppelin legacy instead of exploiting it. The singer and the guitarist bring their thunder to Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre on Friday and the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday.

POP MUSIC

Flaco Jimenez is sitting this one out, but the rest of Los Super Seven--including Los Lobos’ Cesar Rosas and David Hidalgo, Tex-Mex star Freddy Fender and country rocker Joe Ely--bring their lively celebrations spanning a variety of Mexican styles to the House of Blues on Monday.

Early Warning: “Sunshine & Noir: Art in L.A. 1960-1997” opens at the UCLA/Hammer Museum on Oct. 7, a European view of California creativity.
