Renegade cabaret
RENEGADE CABARET
Before he starred in “Falcon Crest,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “Renegade,” Lorenzo Lamas (pictured) sang in the glee club. This weekend he returns to his roots in a free-ranging and irreverent cabaret show at the Orange County Performing Artscenter’s Samueli Theater, where his steady baritone takes on Broadway bombast, Rat Pack slick and Spanish crooning like “Besame Mucho,” during which the actor leans on memories of his father, Argentine singer and actor Fernando Lamas. “A lot of people have been shocked that I have a voice, and that makes it really fun for me,” says Lamas. Any panties thrown at the tuxedoed heartthrob? “Not yet,” he jokes, “but hopefully next show.” 7:30 p.m. Thu.-Sat.; 7 p.m. Sun., Ends Sun. $62. (714) 556-2787; www.ocpac.org
