‘DTF,’ and a few less risque shows to see this weekend

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical”

Today through Dec. 20

Merriam Theater, 250 S. Broad St.

From $35, Kimmelcenter.org

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the beloved Claymation classic, this stage musical stays true to the bulbous yet dainty proportions and technicolors of the mid-century original.Featuring expressive costumes and detailed puppets, this engaging story will be as magical live as it is on the screen.

“The Bookof Mormon”

Through Dec. 27

Forrest Theatre, 1114 Walnut St.

From $67, Telecharge.com

The highly lauded musical by “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone is back in Philly for the holidays. Since 2011, the show has won a cascade of awards, including a Grammy and multiple Tonys. This sarcastic take on the earnestness of religion is somehow still celebratory of the culture it skewers, making it fun for Christmas devotees and Grinches alike.
