TODAY Ralphie May:

Theater

Forbidden Broadway: This scathingly funny love letter to the Great White Way is back with its 35th anniversary edition, skewering celebrities and throwing slings and arrows at everything from “Annie,” “Cats,” “Wicked” and “The Phantom of the Opera” to “The Book of Mormon.” 8 p.m., Aventura Arts & Cultural Center, 3385 NE 188th St., $40, 305-466-8002, aventuracenter.org.

Comedy

The big comedian shies away from fat jokes, but touches on just about everything else. The quick-witted Arkansas comic got his big TV break on “Last Comic Standing.” May has opened for Sam Kinison, B.B. King, Jeff Foxworthy, Thea Vidale and Jay Mohr. The stand-up debuted five specials over the past decade on Comedy Central before releasing his latest on Netflix. 8 p.m., Palm Beach Improv, 550 S. Rosemary Ave., West Palm Beach, $25-$50, 954-981-5653, palmbeach.improv.com.

Music

Marcia Ball: From “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans” comes Louisiana bayou blues, ballads and boogie. The Southern singer, songwriter and award-winning pianist plays raucous, rollicking, roadhouse R&B. Playful and passionate, Ball’s husky honky-tonk voice has earned her multiple Grammy noms. 8 p.m., Funky Biscuit, 303 SE Mizner Blvd., Boca Raton, $25-$40, 561-395-2929, funkybiscuit.com. Chasing Rainbows: A Tribute to Judy

Garland: Best known on Broadway for her Tony-nominated turn in “Mamma Mia!”, Canadian star Louise Pitre has also appeared in “Mame” and “Les Miserables.” Here she performs the songs made famous by the legendary Judy Garland, from “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” to “Get Happy” and “That’s Entertainment.” 7:30 p.m. , Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, 701 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach, $39, 561-832-7469, kravis.org.
