The Fantasticks
October 7 - 30, 2016
The Fantasticks is a timeless, romantic tale of a boy, a girl, and their fathers’ schemes to get the two married. The ravishingly beautiful songs sparkle with wit, and there’s plenty of comedy from the actors hired by the fathers to push along their schemes. The world's longest-running musical, The Fantasticks has run for over 50 years, entrancing generations of audiences the world over. The famous score, including classics “Try To Remember,” “They Were You,” and “Soon It's Gonna Rain,” is as timeless as the story itself.
Ghost
February 10 - March 5, 2017
Adapted from his hit film by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin, Ghost the Musical follows Sam and Molly, whose connection takes a shocking turn after Sam’s murder. Trapped between two worlds, Sam refuses to leave Molly when he learns she is in grave danger. Desperate to communicate with her, he turns to storefront psychic, Oda Mae Brown, who helps him protect Molly and avenge his death. With music and lyrics from multi-Grammy winning pop music icons Dave Steward and Glenn Ballard, Ghost will reach into your heart and help you believe in the endless power of love.
End of the Rainbow
March 31 - April 23, 2017
End of the Rainbow is the Tony Award nominated musical drama of Judy Garland's comeback concerts during Christmas, 1968. With a six-week booking at London's Talk of the Town, it looks like Judy is set firmly on the comeback trail. The failed marriages, the suicide atempts and the addictions are all behind her. At forty-six and with new flame Mickey Deans at her side, she seems determined to carry it off and recapture her magic. But lasting happiness always eludes some people, and there was never any answer to the question with which Judy ended every show: "If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh, why, can't I?" End of the Rainbow is a savagely funny drama featuring a glorious ensemble of Judy Garland hits and infused with the glamour and the melancholy of stardom.
