Comedic legend Lily Tomlin brings her “An Evening of Classic Lily Tomlin” to the Music Center at Strathmore (5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda, Md.) on March 28 at 8 p.m.

The show is a multi-media performance featuring the out actress interacting with video clips that satirize her celebrityhood and showcase her classic characters in their renowned roles. But it’s not just a greatest hits show — Edith Ann has moved into social media and uploads her mother’s iPod while Ernestine, the nosy former AT&T operator, no works for an insurance conglomerate who relishes denying health care to everyone she can.

Tickets range from $27-81. Visit Strathmore.org for details.
