FEB 26 - MAR 21 With the first low trill of the solo clarinet and its spine-tingling run up the scale, Rhapsody In Blue by George and Ira Gershwin caught the public’s fancy and opened a new era in American music. Now, ABT fan-favorite Kurtis Overby has created a musical spectacular that will transport you back to the days when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers danced across the silver screen to these classic Gershwin hits. This toe-tapping production will feature favorite tunes such as I’ve Got Rhythm, A Foggy Day, Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off, and S’Wonderful, coupled with never before heard musical mashups and tap dancing galore. Who could ask for anything more!

MAR 26 - APR 18 The 1960s - when girl groups and doo-wop met female empowerment. Travel back to this impactful decade through the lens of six women as they sing its most iconic songs. Featuring the music of groundbreaking female artists such as Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, and timeless hits like My Boyfriend’s Back, Son of a Preacher Man, and You Don’t Own Me, this groovy musical will have you dancing in your seat!

APR 23 - MAY 16 Oh no! The Little Sisters of Hoboken’s cook, Sister Julia Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of her sisters! Now, the surviving sisters are putting on a talent show to raise money for the funerals.

MAY 21 - JUN 13 This isn’t your average Bible study! Based on the Gospel according to Matthew, Godspell follows a comedic troupe of players as they help a contemporary Jesus share his lessons through parables, games, and comedic shenanigans. This musical features an eclectic blend of songs written by the composer of Wicked, Stephen Schwartz, such as Prepare Ye The Way of the Lord, Turn Back O Man, and of course, the popular hit Day By Day.  Even after the crucifixion, Jesus’ message of kindness, tolerance, and love lives vibrantly on.

JUN 18 - JUL 11 Come relive your favorite 60’s TV show, Gilligan’s Island. Gilligan is at it again, foiling attempts to escape the tropical island.

JUL 16 - AUG 8 An alien species of plant assures Seymour that his wildest dreams will come true, as long as he promises to keep feeding him one thing…blood! A deviously delicious Broadway smash musical, Little Shop Of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre-goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin) are the genius team behind this production. The 1986 movie musical, starring comedic legends Rick Moranis and Steve Martin, launched this story to its place in history as a cult classic.
