MISC: TREASURE ISLAND “Pirates were the original punk-rock rebels,” says Majestic Repertory Theatre artistic director Troy Heard, and Treasure Island feels like a natural choice for a theater that prides itself on cutting-edge, provocative live performance. Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s 19th-century novel, this staged version features an all-woman cast. Heard, who adapted and directs the play, says that was also a natural choice. “There was a great self-sufficiency and resilience that women rebels of the time needed if they wanted a life outside of being a kept wife,” he says. “Plus, this cast is bad to the skull and crossbones. And they can all swing a sword like nobody’s business!” Those sword fights promise to be so thrilling, the production is recommended for buccaneers 10 and older. Thru August 19, Thursday-Saturday, times vary, $20-$30, Majestic Repertory Theatre, majesticrepertory.com. –Shannon Miller

MUSIC: THE SMASHING PUMPKINS Billy Corgan sure loves an epic. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman just can’t stop himself from delivering electronic rock manifestos as long as your arm—the 28-song Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness in 1995; the two-part Machina series in 2000; and the three-part, 33-song Atum series this year. But that’s all right. It means The Smashing Pumpkins come to the stage with a well of deep cuts that’s deeper than most. It also means that the Pumpkins’ reserve of hit songs—which includes such classics as “Disarm,” “Tonight, Tonight” and “1979,” and Grammy-winners “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” and “The End Is the Beginning Is the End”—is of an excellent, timeless quality, because these are the songs that had to fight for recognition amongst 20-plus song sets. If they bring even a handful of those nuggets to the Chelsea, Corgan can surround them with a set of 400 concept-album tracks, and we won’t mind much. 8 p.m., $83+, the Chelsea, ticketmaster.com. –Geoff Carter

COMEDY: MATTEO LANE You might have seen this 37-year-old comedian on one of his breakthrough Netflix performances, on The Comedy Lineup or Stand Out. And while his sly style and multifaceted observational humor do stand out, there’s so much more to Matteo Lane, layers of life and artistry that contribute to his comedy rise. He speaks five languages. He began training as an opera singer at the age of 15, then changed paths to focus on drawing and painting while attending the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. He began dabbling in stand-up in 2011, moved to New York City and became a regular at his favorite workshop at the Comedy Cellar and snagged a role in MTV’s Ladylike with Nicole Byer (who’ll also making her big Vegas stand-up debut at the Chelsea in August). Lane’s gig at Encore Theater is just as big for the venue as it is for the performer, as it continues the Wynn venue’s evolution into a cutting-edge comedy space. 8 p.m., $40-$85, Encore Theater, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: YUNGBLUD From his haphazard hair to his gender-fluid fashion, Yungblud has carved a niche as a musical madcap, championing his own individuality through bruising, angst-filled pop-punk gems and general “fooking” weirdness, as he calls it. On last year’s eponymous LP, the Englishman sang about dancing at his own funeral, being ridiculed for wearing makeup for the first time and the seesawing emotions of his lonesome heart. “I’m in love again/And tomorrow I’ll be sad,” he declares on “Tissues,” which samples The Cure’s “Close to Me.” There’s a lot to love about this politically charged bloke, who has also used his platform to speak up for sexual assault victims and transgender rights, even creating the short film “Mars” about the latter. Yungblud postponed his initial Brooklyn Bowl date earlier this year, but when the “Cotton Candy” star hits the stage, it’ll mark his first headlining show in Las Vegas—and we’re ready to get weird. With Jean Dawson, Sophie Powers. 7 p.m., $40- $60, Brooklyn Bowl, ticketmaster.com. –Amber Sampson
