"This is Jerry Herman's best musical yet – happier, more assertive, more buoyant than Hello, Dolly! or Mame." – N.Y. Post
Based on a French film and play by Jean Poiret, which was also the inspiration for the 1996 hit film The Birdcage, La Cage aux Folles is a French farce boulevard comedy that is about the celebration of family values. The Tony Award Winning musical tells the story of Albin and Georges, two middle-aged partners who run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez. Their outrageously glorious peace turns to mayhem when their son announces that he is getting married--to the daughter of a bigoted politician . . . and they're all getting together for dinner! Can Albin and Georges transform themselves into Mr. - - and Mrs. - - Family Values in time? It'll take the performance of their lives, but they'll do anything - - - and everything - - - to pull the chiffon over the politician's eyes!

This mesmerizing PHANTOM is traditional musical theatre in the
finest sense. The Tony Award® winning authors of Nine have
transformed Gaston Leroux’ The Phantom of the Opera into a
sensation that enraptures audiences and critics with beautiful
songs and an expertly crafted book. It is constructed around
characters more richly developed than in any other version,
including the original novel.
THE PRODUCERS
SEP. 11 – OCT. 19, 2008
Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film is
a truly “boffo” hit, winning a record
twelve Tony® Awards.
The plot is simple: a down-on-hisluck
Broadway producer and his
mild-mannered accountant come
up with a scheme to produce
the most notorious flop in history
thereby bilking their backers (all “little
old ladies”) out of millions of dollars.
Only one thing goes awry: the
show is a smash hit! The antics of
Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as
they maneuver their way fecklessly
through finding a show (the gloriously
offensive “Springtime For Hitler”),
hiring a director, raising the money
and finally going to prison for their
misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of
the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of
two very different men who become friends.
A
WONDERFUL LIFE NOV. 13 – DEC. 21, 2008
Frank Capra’s film classic has been brought to vibrant
theatrical life through the remarkable collaboration of
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winner Sheldon Harnick
and Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Joe Raposo.
The story of George Bailey and his wonderful life
in Bedford Falls remains a timeless fable of dreams,
disillusionment and the power of love. An uplifting
chronicle of the extraordinary lives of ordinary folk, A
WONDERFUL LIFE exhilarates the mind and heart as it
celebrates the innate goodness in us all.
