Some recent theoretical results concerning Cepheids and long-period variables are presented and compared with observations. Nonlinear pulsation calculations for select bump Cepheids are shown capable of yielding very accurate fundamental properties of these stars. The implications of the derived parameters are discussed. For the long-period variables, recent observational and theoretical results pertaining to the long-standing problem of the mode of pulsation are presented. The conflicting results point to some fundamental problem with current interpretations.
