Sun, Apr 27, 2008 - Thoroughly Modern Millie (Show Dates)
Thoroughly Modern Millie is a high-spirited musical romp that has all of New York dancing the Charleston. It's the zany new 1920's musical that has taken Broadway by storm!
Taking place in New York City in 1922, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It's a New York full of intrigue and jazz -- a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever. Based on the popular movie, the stage version of Thoroughly Modern Millie includes a full score of new songs and bright dance numbers.
Filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men and a dragon-lady of a villainess audiences will love to hate, Thoroughly Modern Millie is a perfectly constructed evening of madcap merriment. And with the role of Millie Dillmount, musical theatre has found a new heroine for the ages in Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Sun, Oct 14, 2007 - Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (Show Dates)
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas concerns a brothel just a little outside of town that has been operating for more than a century. In the late 1970s it is under the proprietorship of Miss Mona Stangley, who, while taking care of her girls, is also on good terms with the local sheriff, Ed Earl Dodd. When a crusading television reporter, Melvin P. Thorpe, uncovers the illegal activity (that is, makes an issue out of something that is common, but quiet, knowledge in Texas), political ramifications cause the place to be closed down.

This enchanting classic of children's literature is now a brilliant musical by a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Marsha Norman. Orphaned in India, Mary Lennox, an 11 year old girl returns to Yorkshire to live with her grieving, reclusive Uncle Archibald and his spoiled, invalid son, Colin. Mary discovers a locked garden that once belonged to her uncle's late wife, Lily, that has been terribly neglected over time. Mary begins nursing the garden back to life, and discovers that she also has the strength to bring life back to the cold manor and love back into the hearts of her family. Flashbacks, dream sequences, a strolling chorus of ghosts, and some of the most beautiful music ever written for Broadway dramatize The Secret Garden's compelling tale of regeneration. This Tony Award winner is a treasure for children and adults with music by Lucy Simon, based on the beloved classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Fri, Oct 21, 2005 through Sun, Oct 30, 2005 - Seussical the Musical (Show Dates)
"After all those years being stuck on a page,
Did you ever imagine you'd see me onstage?"
So says the mischievous Cat in the Hat at the onset of this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once On This Island, and Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and all of the Whos of Whoville!
These classic, colorful tales are seamlessly brought together by Jojo, a young boy and "thinker of strange and wonderful thinks"! As each story unfolds you will marvel at how relevant and profound Seuss's subtle themes are; making this musical one that appeals to all ages.
The score emerges as a Seussian gumbo of musical styles, ranging from Latin to pop, swing to gospel, and R&B to funk! So let your toes tap, your fingers snap, and your imagination run wild, for "If you open your mind, Oh, the thinks you will find lining up to get loose! Oh, the thinks you can think when you think about Seuss!"
