A bunch of shows are in their final days.

Carl Cofield’s awesome Afrofuturist take on Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night,” ending April 6 at the Yale Repertory Theatre, is not just cool to look at, with its swirling full-stage projections, glamorous costumes and sleek ceremonial processions — it’s also easy to follow, finds whole new veins of humor and romance to mine, and sets Shakespeare’s song to smooth R&B/Soul arrangements, crooned with wit and style by Erron Crawford. Hot stuff. $60-$92, yalerep.org.

Burt & Me the casual lovey-dovey celebration of the songs of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, is at the Ivoryton Playhouse through April 7. The four-piece onstage combo has a lot of fun, getting to play such peppy compositions as “Turkey Lurkey Time” and the speedy postlude of “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” as well as the moody hits like “The Look of Love” and “Blue on Blue.” Over 20 Bacharach/David tunes are wrapped around a pleasant-enough romantic comedy penned by Larry McKenna. $55. ivorytonplayhouse.org

Stop/Time Dance Theatre’s spring show, Reel to Real, dances through the history of movies, through April 7 at Playhouse on Park in West Hartford. $25-$40, playhouseonpark.org.
