CASINOS

RETURN TO 'PARADISE'

His sonic style conformed to neither of the prevailing rock modes of the day - punk and New Wave - but Eddie Money, who headlines tomorrow at House of Blues inside Showboat Atlantic City, still managed to make a good deal of noise in the late 1970s and early '80s. The one-time cop born Eddie Mahoney blew up thanks to snappy, hook-laden tunes like his breakthrough single, "Two Tickets to Paradise," and "Baby Hold On." More than 30 years later, he is still a regular, and reliable, live attraction.

Story continues below.

House of Blues, Showboat Atlantic City, Boardwalk at Delaware Avenue, 9 p.m., $14.07 and $10.07, 609-236-2583, hob.com/atlanticcity.

THEATER

BRIDESMAIDS REVISITED

Playwright Leslye Headland's Twitter handle is "Molotovcocktail," which gives us a clue that her play "Bachelorette," now playing at the Adrienne Theater, is not some frothy confection airing Mondays on ABC. Instead, it's a dark comedy about three young women - bride, maid of honor and friend - behaving badly on the eve of a swanky New York wedding. Booze and betrayal form an explosive evening from the Luna Theater Company. The show's been extended through this weekend.

Adrienne Theater Skybox, 2030 Sansom St., 6:30 tonight, 8 p.m. tomorrow, $23-$28, 866-811-4111.

DISSECTING A TRIANGLE

David Harrower's 1995 fable "Knives in Hens" is about a ploughman, his wife and the miller who brings new words and ideas into her life. When it was first produced in Harrower's native Scotland, The Guardian called it "a marvelous, mysterious thing: a drama of real passion written in a stark, puritan style." Theatre Exile's production, directed by Brenna Geffers, boasts a nontraditional set, and the resulting irregular seating means no late arrivals will admitted. (Audience members are encouraged to wear stable shoes; you'll be climbing to your seats.) If you're ready for an explosive night of theater, this is your ticket.

Theatre Exile at Studio X, 1340 S. 13th St., 8 tonight and tomorrow, 3 p.m. Sunday, through March 4, $27-$32, 215-218-4022, theatreexile.org
