One of the best shows on TV right now is "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," co-created and starring comedian Rachel Bloom.

Well-Strung
Music
Well-Strung is a singing string quartet that fuses classical music with pop songs.
Think Kelly Clarkson songs played on the violin and Beethoven classics delivered with flair. The New York City-based quartet also has a teen heartthrob appeal thanks to its flirty and fashion-forward musicians. A classical music boy band, if you will.
Moonlight Cultural Foundation welcomes Well-Strung for a concert that promises everything from Taylor Swift to Johann Sebastian Bach.
Details: 8 p.m. Saturday. Moonlight Amphitheatre, 1200 Vale Terrace Drive, Vista. $20 to $55; find tickets.
