THE WEDDING SINGER
JUNE 7th—24th, 2017
Are you ready to go back to 1985?
Get out your Swatch watches and silver sequined glove! The musical version of The Wedding Sing-er (based on the hit Adam Sandler movie) is gonna build this city on Rock-n-Roll!
The time is 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party, until his fiancée Linda leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie has hit rock bottom. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck, would have it, Julia daydreams about marrying Glen, a Wall Street shark; and unless Robbie can pull off the perfor-mance of the decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.
With a totally rad score accompanied by a LIVE BAND, The Wedding Singer will make you wish you were back in the time when MTV played videos, Rubik’s Cubes were all the rage, and you’d never be caught without your acid washed jeans!

IN THE HEIGHTS
JULY 12th—29th, 2017
Before there was the musical theatre sensation HAMILTON its creator Lin-Manuel Mi-
randa introduced Broadway to IN THE HEIGHTS a universal story of a vibrant com-
munity in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood—a place where the coffee
from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the
breeze caries the rhythm of three generations of music: salsa, soul and hip-hop. It’s a
community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the
biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones
you leave behind. IN THE HEIGHTS is the winner of the 2008 Tony Awards for Best
Musical, Best Score, Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations.
