MUSIC—After taking a self-imposed hiatus from music in 2009, Limeytown’s sauciest musical Brit, Lily Allen, is back with her triumphant and well-reviewed Sheezus tour. Expect the hits from her newest endeavor, as well as her previous two discs, which will certainly include her top-notch breakup song “Smile.” Oh, Lily! You saucy, saucy bird! WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
