Monsters vs Aliens: The trailer for this Dreamworks animation feature suggests that it might be a worthy successor to Kung Fu Panda, not a retreat into sub-Pixar mediocrity. And the voice cast -- with Stephen Colbert, Amy Poehler, Seth Rogen, and The Office 's Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski, to name a few -- reads like an A-list of funny. (March 27)

Why Torture Is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them ( New York City Public Theater ): Christopher Durang has a new play, which is always a cause for celebration. The crazy title gives us every reason to believe it will be as hilarious, absurd, and politically outspoken as the plays that made Durang famous, including Laughing Wild and Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You . Nicholas Martin directs an intriguing cast that includes longtime Durang diva Kristine Nielsen and Broadway chanteuse Laura Benanti, who deservedly won a Tony last season playing the title role in Gypsy . (March 24 to April 26)
