BANDSTAND

December 6 - 8, 2019

Music  by Richard Oberacker
Book and Lyrics by Rob Taylor and Richard Oberacker

From Andy Blankenbuehler, winner of the 2017 Tony Award® for Best Choreography and the 2016 Tony Award® for HAMILTON, comes BANDSTAND—the new musical that explodes with the most high-octane, heart-stopping and best dancing on stage today.

1945: As America’s soldiers come home to ticker-tape parades and overjoyed families, Private First Class Donny Novitski, singer and songwriter, returns to rebuild his life with only the shirt on his back and a dream in his heart. When NBC announces a national competition to find the nation’s next great musical superstars, inspiration strikes! Donny joins forces with a motley group of fellow veterans, each an astonishing musician. Together, they form a band unlike any the nation has ever seen. Along the way, they discover the power of music to face the impossible, find their voice and finally feel like they have a place to call home.


FINDING NEVERLAND

January 10 - 12, 2020

Book by James Graham
Music and Lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy
Based on the Miramax motion picture written by David Magee
Based on the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan by Allan Knee

The winner of Broadway.com’s Audience Choice Award for Best Musical, this breathtaking smash “captures the kid-at-heart,” says TIME Magazine. Vogue cheers, “It’s a must-see you’ll remember for years to come!” Diane Paulus’ FINDING NEVERLAND with direction recreated by Tour Director Mia Walker, is based on the critically acclaimed Academy® Award-winning film, FINDING NEVERLAND, which tells the incredible story behind one of the world’s most beloved characters: Peter Pan.

Playwright J.M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration until he meets four young brothers and their beautiful, widowed mother. Spellbound by the boys’ enchanting make-believe adventures, he sets out to write a play that will astound London theatergoers. With a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes this monumental leap, leaving his old world behind for Neverland, where nothing is impossible and the wonder of childhood lasts forever. The magic of Barrie’s classic tale springs spectacularly to life in this heartwarming theatrical event. 

FINDING NEVERLAND is “far and away the best musical of the year!” (NPR).
