‘Bleacher Bums’ [Through June 5]

In this “nine-inning comedy,” set in the bleachers of Chicago’s Wrigley Field, the long-suffering, die-hard, “wait until next year” Cub fans return annually to root for their team.

A rabid cheerleader, a blind man who does color commentary, a sun-worshipping beauty and a henpecked husband bet among themselves, splurge for hot dogs and, occasionally, watch the game. Will the Cubs win the home game, and who will the real winners be?
