Tootsie – October 4, 2022

Call it “musical comedy heaven” (Rolling Stone). Call it “the most uproarious new

musical in years!” (The Hollywood Reporter). Call it TOOTSIE! This laugh-out-loud love

letter to the theater tells the story of Michael Dorsey, a talented but difficult actor who

struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a

lifetime. Featuring a hilarious Tony® Award-winning book by Robert Horn and an

outrageously clever score by 2018 Tony® Award-winner David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit, Dirty

Rotten Scoundrels), this New York Times Critic’s Pick is “a joyful delight” (The 

Washington Post) that’s “so packed with punchlines, it should be called a jokebox

musical!” (Bloomberg). “In these turbulent times, when the world seems out of balance,

we need a place to let the good times roll,” raves Rolling Stone. “TOOTSIE is it!”

Anastasia – November 2, 2022

From the Tony® Award-winning creators of the Broadway classic Ragtime and inspired by the beloved films, ANASTASIA is the new Broadway musical that’s “one of the most gorgeous shows in years!” (New York Observer). This dazzling show transports us from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family.

Million Dollar Quartet Christmas – December 12, 2022

There’s no place like home for the holidays, and Sun Records is just that for rock ‘n’ roll newcomers and soon to be legends – Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley. In a fortuitous twist of fate, all four musicians stop by their famous Memphis recording studio alma mater the same wintry evening, unbeknownst to them that they had the front seat to a revolution.  Million Dollar Quartet Christmas brings that momentous homecoming to life with an electrifying tale of family, nostalgia, faith, humor, heart break, and revelry. Journey through a story of Christmas past, present, and future, jam packed with unforgettable performances of classic holiday hits and favorite chart toppers such as “Jingle Bell Rock,” “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Blue Christmas,” “Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town,” “Ring of Fire,” “Santa Baby,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” “Run Run Rudolph” and more.

Legally Blonde – The Musical! – March 27, 2023

Based on the beloved movie, Legally Blonde – The Musical! follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, sexism, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams, and proves that you can be BOTH legally blonde AND the smartest person in the room. Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting more serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her ingenuity and charm to get into Harvard too. School begins with endless struggles, but with the help of her new friends, Elle quickly realizes her potential, and her true assets, as she sets out to prove herself to the world and make everyone a believer. This contemporary, sassy musical moves at a breakneck pace driven by memorable songs and explosive dances. Legally Blonde warms the heart by proving that self-discovery never goes out of style!

Chicago – May 2, 2023

After 25 years, Chicago is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one show stopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen. No wonder Chicago has been honored with six Tony Awards®, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy®, and thousands of standing ovations. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary —you’ve got to come see why the name on everyone’s lips is still…Chicago.

Make the most of your Broadway experience by adding on one (or more!) of our additional productions this fall.
