Share

The off-Broadway musical spoof “Altar Boyz,” about a Christian-pop boy band, and “Legends!,” a nonmusical comedy in which former “Dynasty” television rivals Joan Collins and Linda Evans confront each other as fading film stars vying for a Broadway role, are among the highlights of a 2006-07 Broadway/L.A. season of seven plays.

Both shows will take place at the 1,378-seat Wadsworth Theatre on the Veterans Affairs medical campus in West Los Angeles, and “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is being staged in another VA theater, the 499-seat Brentwood.

Shows at the Pantages are “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” (Aug. 15-27), the David Yazbek-Jeffrey Lane musical based on the 1988 film that starred Michael Caine and Steve Martin; a Molly Ringwald-led revival of “Sweet Charity” (Oct. 11-22), the 1966 musical with songs by Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields and book by Neil Simon; a stand by the Ten Tenors, an Australian vocal group straddling pop and classical styles (Oct. 24-Nov. 5); and the return of Disney’s “The Lion King” (Nov. 16-Jan. 7).
