What better time to take in a revue of songs from Broadway shows — which, as the producers of this show note, “celebrate life during tough times”? These songs from the duo of John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago, Funny Lady and New York, New York) surely fit the bill as we all make a brand new start of it. Capital City Theatre presents a cast of five, belting out favorites including “New York, New York,” and “Cabaret,” backed by a seven-piece band. ALSO: Saturday (7:30 p.m.) and Sunday (2 p.m.), Oct. 16-17; through Oct. 24.
