All themes for WordPress are highly flexible. The criteria for picking a theme should be fairly simple. I suggest… one, matching a desired layout such as full header and two- column with left or right sidebar, for example. Then… step two, assuring you have all required functionality. This functionality can and does include jQuery frameworks and extensive use of core and extended WP functions.
The effort of theme selection is to minimize the amount of work then required to gain all requirements such as featured post, dynamic tabs, page presentation with overlay as in Lightbox. Whatever….
After all is said and done, we can and do bring any functionality required to any selected theme, and we can customize any theme to look precisely as you wish, as your Photoshop layouts dictate.
