GEORGE M - If you like George M. Cohan's music (Give My Regards to Broadway, Yankee Doodle Boy), the singing chorus at the Royal Palm Dinner Theatre fills the ear. But the revival sputters with uneven acting and singing in the principal roles, and routine direction. Through Aug. 23 in Boca Raton. - J.Z. GROSS INDECENCY: THE THREE TRIALS OF OSCAR WILDE - Nine actors play dozens of roles in this marathon courtroom drama based on one of the most celebrated trials in 19th century England. Famed playwright (and playboy) Wilde tries to defend his lifestyle by debating art as the whole government and society turns against him. Smartly done, but with unfortunate stretches of tedious intellectual blather. Through Sunday at Caldwell Theatre, Boca Raton. - J.Z.

-- COME BLOW YOUR HORN - Jittery, nervous production of Neil Simon's '60s comedy about a bachelor and aspiring writer who flees the digs of his philandering brother to escape his father, who wants him to toil in the family's wax fruit business. Through Oct. 6 at Jan's Rooftop Cabaret, Royal Palm Dinner Theatre, Boca Raton. - B.V. -- LOST TANGO - Hollywood Boulevard Theatre mounts a stylish looking mystery about a reclusive Argentinian movie star who grants an interview to a troubled writer. The dialogue is slick and the scene construction clever, but the plotting isn't as focused. Open-ended run in Hollywood - J.Z.

-- BEAST ON THE MOON - New Theatre production of this drama about an Armenian refugee couple's efforts to build a new life in America in the early 20th century is as cold, hard and impenetrable as the play. Through Feb. 11 in Coral Gables. - J.Z. -- CANTORIAL - Charming presentation of a production that's part comedy, part love story and part fantasy. But it is mostly an expression of the deep affection that many Jews have for their institutions and basic beliefs. Through Feb. 11 at Hollywood Playhouse. - B.V. -- CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FATHER - Off Broadway Theatre production of the comedy-drama that explores the ever-changing social and political climate in America from 1936 to 1976 is uneven. There is a lack of fire and energy here that mutes the strength of Herb Gardner's striking drama. Open-ended run in Wilton Manors. - J.Z.

-- AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' - The Pointer Sisters bring their likable pop personality to Fats Waller's jazz, swing and honky-tonk classics. This is a big-noise version of the revue that sometimes misses the subtleties of more legitimate stage renditions, but the ensemble manages to find some of the Waller spirit. Through Sunday at Jackie Gleason Theater, Miami Beach; Tuesday-Dec. 3 at Broward Center, Fort Lauderdale; Jan. 2-7 at Kravis Center, West Palm Beach. - J.Z. -- A comedy so cliched and stagnant that it could grow penicillin can't be cured by two of South Florida's finest actors, Peter Haig and Ellen Simmons. The sitcom goes shameless. Through Sunday at Drama Center, Deerfield Beach. - B.V.

One of Lake County's most noted, if not famous, inventors was Elisha Gray of Highland Park, who had the misfortune of getting to the patent office a few hours behind Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 with basically the same invention: the telephone. We all know the result; Bell got the credit, but Gray did well for himself anyway, founding what was to become Western Electric. Lake County still has its share of inventors. There are the creative geniuses who labor daily behind curtains of secrecy for such companies as Abbott Laboratories and Baxter Healthcare, the pharmaceutical giants. And then there are those who simply had a great idea and are making a go of it on their own. [Tom] Scarnato holds more than 40 job-related patents from his former position as product-development engineer for Navistar, a farm-equipment company in Chicago. After he retired, he came up with some personal patents to help make day-to-day living easier. His favorite is a golf cap that has little moisture-absorbent pads along the band to allow air flow.

  BUDDY, THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY --If only this were a greatest hits concert of the pop legend. Because when the music's playing, this show rocks most of the time. But when the music dies, which is often, the audience must weather a script so lame that only superb actors could have risen above this comic-book bio, and this production has been cast for musicianship. John Mueller has Holly's nerdy look down to a T-bird; he reincarnates Holly's quirky vocal style, and those rippling guitar riffs cannot be faked. Although he doesn't always deliver Holly's boyish charisma, Mueller leads a talented band through one of the most infectiously entertaining catalogs in rock 'n' roll. Folks will be dancing in the aisles. Through Jan. 2 at Actors' Playhouse, Coral Gables. -- B.H.

Four world premiere plays in repertory. Big Hearts is a genuinely funny, poignant one-act about a gay romance interrupted by a conventional bride and groom; Domestic Tranquility is a hot-and-cold comedy about a perfect family in the '50s whose routine is upset by escaped convicts; The Lemon Cookie is a drama with comic overtones, and a little too much angst, about a modern couple's romantic crisis; Prodigal Kiss, an unresolved yet intriguing drama, traces a Cuban woman's search for a new life amid crushed hopes in America. Through Sunday at the Waterfront Playhouse and Red Barn Theatre, Key West. -- J.Z.
