Gripping Rock-n-Roll Original
This incredible musical, inspired by an actual event, will take you back to the place where rock-n-roll was born! On December 4, 1956 at Sun Studios in Memphis, a twist of fate brought Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash together for one night of music that made history. These four legends-to-be and the "Father of Rock-n-Roll," Sam Phillips, who discovered them all, united for an impromptu recording session that would be one for the ages. The musicians played, talked, played, joked, played, argued, and played all night — and were quickly christened the "Million Dollar Quartet." Part jam session, part bull session, and chock full of rock-n-roll classics from the 50s, this unforgettable new musical will have you dancing in the aisles.

Spectacular Masterpiece
Set against a dazzling exotic backdrop, Rodgers and Hammerstein's Tony Award-winning classic is a stunning tale of learning to love and learning to change. West and East collide when Anna, an English school teacher, is commissioned to govern the King of Siam's many children. Clashing cultures eventually melt into enduring love as Anna and the King realize that people aren't always who they seem. With remarkable musical numbers like "Getting to Know You," "Something Wonderful," and "Shall We Dance?," The King and I is one of the most exquisite stories ever told, and is perfect for the entire family.

Everett: March 7–23, 2008
Delightful Comedy
Young Manhattan newlyweds Paul Bratter, a conservative up-and-coming lawyer, and Corrie, his vivacious free-spirited wife, realize that life after the honeymoon is no walk in the park—instead it's made hilariously complicated by an eccentric landlord, a protective mother-in-law, and a tiny five-floor walkup! One of Neil Simon's best comedies, Barefoot in the Park is a breezy delight, loaded with laughs as Paul and Corrie learn about life, love, and surviving wedded bliss.

Heartwarming New Musical
An all new lovingly adapted musical version of Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel brings the timeless tale of the March family to vivid life. In a time of war and want, Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth grow from girls into women, guided by their mother, Marmee, through romance and loss, illness and courtship, growing up, and letting go. The melodic and moving Richard Rodgers Award-winning score by Kim Oler and Alison Hubbard has an intimacy and an honesty that's matched by the wise, faithful adaptation by Sean Hartley. It's a Little Women like none you've seen before!

Exhilarating Pop Powerhouse
An enslaved Nubian princess. A privileged daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh. The soldier they both love. And a love triangle that could alter history forever. Based on Giuseppe Verdi's classic opera, Elton John and Tim Rice's Tony and Grammy-winning pop-rock powerhouse turns the legendary tale of AIDA into an exhilarating and rousing musical event. Bursting with energy and teeming with vibrant song and dance, AIDA is an epic tale of loyalty, betrayal, and forbidden love you will never forget.
