Get ready to enjoy the “Broadway Extravaganza” (The New Yorker) that New York Magazine calls “effervescent candy-for-the-spirit.” Explore the depths of theatrical innovation in NICKELODEON’S THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL, 2018 Best Musical winner of the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards, where the power of optimism really can save the world.

“What a delight it is to enter the world of ONCE ON THIS ISLAND!” raves The New York Times.
Winner of the 2018 TONY AWARD FOR BEST REVIVAL OF A MUSICAL, ONCE ON THIS ISLAND is the sweeping, universal tale of Ti Moune, a fearless peasant girl in search of her place in the world, and ready to risk it all for love. Guided by the mighty island gods, Ti Moune sets out on a remarkable journey to reunite with the man who has captured her heart.
The groundbreaking vision of two-time Tony Award nominated director Michael Arden (Spring Awakening revival) and acclaimed choreographer Camille A. Brown (NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live) conjures up “a place where magic is possible and beauty is apparent for all to see!” (The Huffington Post). With a score that bursts with life from Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, the Tony Award-winning songwriters of Anastasia and Ragtime, ONCE ON THIS ISLAND is a timeless testament to theater’s unlimited possibilities.
Decadent nightlife meets dangerous times at Berlin’s dazzling Kit Kat Klub, where the party never ends. Cliff Bradshaw, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, falls hopelessly in love with cabaret singer and British ex-patriot Sally Bowles. Their romance sizzles amid the tumultuous atmosphere of pre-WWII Germany. Inside the club, an intoxicating Master of Ceremonies and a raucous ensemble take the stage nightly to excite the crowd so all may leave their troubles outside. But as the 1920s draw to a close, the Third Reich comes to power, and life in Germany grows more uncertain, will the enthralling allure of the Berlin club scene be enough to help them escape their grueling reality? Come hear some of the most memorable songs in theater history, including “Cabaret,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” “Willkommen” and “Maybe This Time.” Adult Content

YOUR TABLE’S WAITING

Amidst the hustle-and-bustle of 1940s New York City, meet two gamblers and the women who dare to love them. Nathan Detroit, though charismatic and lively, is a bit of a scoundrel when it comes to love. His show girl fiancée, Adelaide, is fed up with him from waiting 14 years to get married. Frustrated with Nathan for refusing to set a wedding date, sassy Adelaide threatens to leave him for good. Looking to make some quick cash to host his next craps game, Nathan bets fellow high roller Sky Masterson to make a play for the serious and proper Sarah Brown. When the usually-unshakable Sky finds himself falling in love with the slowly-softening Sarah, he must decide if he’ll put all his chips on the table—in the game of love. Winner of multiple Tony® Awards including Best Musical, GUYS AND DOLLS pulses with humor, plot twists and fabulous singing and dancing—it’s everything a Broadway musical should be. Frank Loesser’s score includes favorites like “Luck Be a Lady” and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat.”
Music by Alan Menken Lyrics by Glenn Slater

SISTER ACT is the feel-amazing musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that will have audiences jumping to their feet! Featuring original music, this uplifting musical was nominated for 5 Tony® Awards including Best Musical. When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put into protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the convent’s choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community, but in doing so blows her cover. Soon the hoodlums who are after her find themselves up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood. Filled with powerful gospel and R & B music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, SISTER ACT is a tribute to the universal power of friendship and song.
