Our 2024 Season Main Stage Shows!
HELLO, DOLLY!
January 20 – February 25
THE MYSTERY of EDWIN DROOD.
March 16 – April 21
Based on Charles Dickens’ final unfinished novel, this hilarious whodunit was a smash on Broadway. It takes audience participation to new heights calling on the audience to determine the ending of the mystery by choosing the identity of the murderer. This Tony Award-winning tale, by Rupert Holmes, is presented as a show-within-a-show, ‘first night performance by the Music Hall Royale’ – a delightfully loony troupe of Victorian actors.
MOON OVER BUFFALO
May 11 – June 16
MOON OVER BUFFALO. This madcap comedy by Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor) centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s playing Private Lives and Cyrano de Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel.
THE FANTASTICKS
July 13 – August 25
THE FANTASTICKS is a magical journey, part fairy tale, part fable and entirely enchanting. With book and lyrics by Tom Jones and music by Harvey Schmidt, it features such memorable songs as “Try to Remember” and “Soon It’s Gonna Rain” and has the distinction of being the longest-running musical in the history of theater. To understand that extraordinary longevity is to recognize the essence of what makes us human, the elemental forces of love, family, friendship, and adversity. The Fantasticks will, as it has done for over 60 years, transport you to that special place in your memory. “…That spot beside the clover where someone’s hand held your hand and love was sweeter than the berries.” Try to remember….and then try not to smile.
9 to 5 The Musical
September 14 – October 27
9 to 5 The Musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the ‘sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot’ they call their boss and give him the boot! While he remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Set in the late 1970s, when women were just navigating their way ahead in the work force, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic.
