Sweeney
Todd
October 7th, 2008
7:30pm
Experience, live on stage,
the musical that inspired the Tim Burton and Johnny Depp movie. This revolutionary revival features a multi-talented ensemble of
ten actor/musicians. When the infamous demon barber takes up with his crafty neighbor, Mrs. Lovett, the two embark on a delicious
plot to slice their way through London’s upper crust. Justice is served—along with lush melody, audacious humor and hair-raising
excitement. Don’t miss this phenomenal production—with full music and lyrics by multiple Tony-Award winner Stephen Sondheim and
direction/design by Tony-Award winner John Doyle. |

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
January 9th, 2009
7:30pm
In the Tony-Award winning new
musical comedy THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely
managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.
SPELLING BEE has been hailed by the Wall Street Journal as “perfect in every possible way – that rarity of rarities, a super-smart
musical that is also a bona fide crowd pleaser.” This tuneful, offbeat and at times heartwarming show offers audience members the
opportunity (strictly voluntary) to become part of the action as on-stage spellers. The New York Times calls SPELLING BEE, “irresistible,
riotously funny and remarkably ingenious – gold stars all around.”

Drumline
January 28th, 2009
7:30pm
The show-stopping new
attraction, DRUMLine Live, brings the black marching band tradition to the theatrical stage for the very first time. Featuring a large
cast of colorful and flamboyant performers from Americas top Historically Black Colleges and Universities, the production presents the
rousing and rhythmic sounds of the great brass past including Earth, Wind, and Fire and Tower of Power side by side with the hottest
contemporary hip hop and R&B. The stirring sound of trumpets, explosive choreography, and incredible feats of athleticism from the
steppers and dancers, will bring the audience to its feet. But the heart of the show is unquestionably the talented group
of African American percussionists who form the drumline. The showdown of rhythm and speed between the lines will shock you with
its precision and pulsing force. A glimpse into an American experience that many have never seen before; this historic tradition is
alive with intensity. |
