Milly Alcock’s Kara Zor-El, or Supergirl, sports not a spandex suit but a Blondie T-shirt. Nonchalant and sarcastic, Kara is also a little Han Solo-ish. She’s a welcome, jagged riff on more buttoned-up superheroes, and Alcock is terrific in the role. If only “Supergirl” was as good as she is.

Upcoming concerts include Ed Sheeran at Soldier Field, Josh Groban with Jennifer Hudson at the Allstate Arena, "Weird Al" Yankovic at the United Center and The Guess Who at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island.
Soufflé is for dinner, but much more is on the table in Olivia Wilde’s deliciously entertaining chamber comedy, “The Invite,” about a couple whose marriage is on the rocks who invite their upstairs neighbors over for an impromptu get-together.
