THE MUSIC MAN IN CONCERT - Broadway at the Orpheum Theatre - December 1 - 3, 2017


Book, Music and Lyrics by Meredith Willson
Based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey

THE MUSIC MAN follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.

By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, THE MUSIC MAN is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Willson’s six-time, Tony Award® winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.

THE MUSIC MAN is a family-friendly show that is sure to please all ages!

JERSEY BOYS - Broadway at the Orpheum Theatre - January 23 - 28, 2018


Book by Marshall Brickman
Book by Rick Elice
Music by Bob Gaudio
Lyrics by Bob Crewe

Upbeat, slickly produced and fast-paced, JERSEY BOYS appeals to die-hard fans of the Four Seasons and audience members less familiar with the group’s extensive catalog of hits. Unlike most jukebox musicals, the show boasts heavy emphasis on storytelling, which adds to its universal appeal.

JERSEY BOYS is a musical biography of the Four Seasons—the rise, the tough times and personal clashes, and the ultimate triumph of a group of friends whose music became symbolic of a generation. Far from a mere tribute concert (though it does include numbers from the popular Four Seasons songbook), JERSEY BOYS gets to the heart of the relationships at the center of the group—with a special focus on frontman Frankie Valli, the small kid with the big falsetto. In addition to following the quartet’s coming of age as performers, the core of the show is how an allegiance to a code of honor learned in the streets of their native New Jersey got them through a multitude of challenges: gambling debts, Mafia threats and family disasters. JERSEY BOYS is a glimpse at the people behind a sound that has managed to endure for over four decades in the hearts of the public.

Winner of the 2006 Tony Award® for Best Musical, JERSEY BOYS tells the story of how Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons went from being unknown New Jersey kids to international pop superstars. The show features over 30 beautifully sung tunes, including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You.”

JERSEY BOYS is recommended for mature audiences. The show contains smoke, gun shots, strobe lights, drug references, sexual situations and profane “authentic Jersey language.”

Charlie Price has suddenly inherited his father’s shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father’s legacy and save the family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola—a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos. Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man he’s meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible… and discover that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.

A CHORUS LINE - Broadway at the Orpheum Theatre - March 16 - 18, 2018


Book by James Kirkwood & Nicholas Dante
Music by Marvin Hamlisch
Lyrics by Edward Kleban

Conceived and Originally Directed and Choreographed by
Michael Bennett
                                                     
A CHORUS LINE is a stunning musical-vérité about a chorus audition for a Broadway musical which celebrates those dedicated singer/dancers who make up the ensemble of a Broadway musical, moving them up front and center stage to tell their special tales of love and passion. It tells of the achingly poignant ambitions of professional Broadway gypsies to land a job in the show, and is a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration. Memorable musical numbers include “I Can Do That,” “At the Ballet” and “Dance: Ten; Looks: Three”.

Big League Productions’ A CHORUS LINE features the ground-breaking Tony® Award-winning direction and choreography of Michael Bennett. It was the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize and 9 Tony® awards including Best Musical.

A CHORUS LINE contains some adult content, including sexual references, and is suggested for mature audiences only.
