FRI–SAT - DANCE

FRI - FILM

In Her Shoes may do the biggest box office this weekend, but we're spending our popcorn allowance at Wallace and Gromit's romping, stomping feature debut, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. It runs rings around Aardman's previous clay-animation feature, Chicken Run. See review. Opens Friday. TIM APPELO
