“Private Lives” at Herberger Theatre
Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. Amanda and Elyot are enjoying a romantic honeymoon – just not with each other. This hilarious classic comedy filled with clever, witty barbs starts when an explosive divorced couple and their new spouses inadvertently honeymoon in adjacent rooms at the same hotel. When combustible chemistry reignites, mayhem occurs, and strong passions and stronger personalities take over. Noël Coward’s most popular and enduring comedy is a funny, tempestuous battle of equals. Center Stage. $25+. 7:30 p.m. 222 E Monroe St. Phoenix; herbergertheatre.org // @herbergertheatre

The Faint at Crescent Ballroom
Do you remember a time before the words “dance” and “rock” were linked by a hyphen and the synthesized sounds of the ’80s were a regular part of the modern musical landscape? The members of The Faint do, because they were there when it started to happen. In fact, you could even say they’re one of the main reasons it happened at all. With Secret Attraction. $25+. 8 p.m. 308 N 2nd Ave. Phoenix; crescentphx.com // @crescentphx
