Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic If you were cataloging the signs of a stage musical that has had a robust life over a period of not just years but decades, here are two things that might be included on that list: A) The show engenders such a sense of family among those who’ve performed it that even members of casts from different times and places mix well together, and… B) You could practically create an entire alternate version of the musical just by doing a separate assemblage of the very good songs that were cut as the show went through different incarnations. Both these signposts came to the fore in “Reefer Madness: The Musical Reunion Concert,” a one-time performance bringing together actors and creatives who’ve been a part of different productions of the cult show “Reefer Madness” over the past quarter-century-plus.

Katy Perry is talking about her past and future music!

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic If you could think of albums as like magazines, Jason Isbell might offer the most reliable subscription in the music business. Every three years (formerly two, but who’s counting), he issues a record almost exactly as world-class as the last, to the point that it almost feels predictable to pile on accolades, for either the recordings or the tours that follow. An album like 2023’s “Weathervanes,” and the shows behind them, qualify as pure inspiration, delivered with workmanlike reliability — the healthy flow that a rarefied combination of journeyman-ship and genius will bring you.
