Mid-Life, The Crisis Musical
If you bought some Ginkgo Biloba, but can't remember which cabinet you put it in - then you're ready for Mid-Life!,The Crisis Musical.
Mid-Life! is a fall-out-of-your-seat funny musical that takes a comic look at the "age-old" conditions and situations faced in Mid-Life. From menopause, to hair loss, to the jolly trips to the doctor, all are lampooned in this show. Everyone will relate to this hilarious musical as it celebrates forgetfulness and reading glasses but also touches on the sentimental wisdom that the later years afford us.

Wonderful Town
Wonderful Town is the delightful tale of two sisters, Ruth and Eileen. They're fresh off the bus from Ohio, ready to follow their dreams, fall in love and live happily ever after in New York City.
Ruth is an aspiring writer, uptight and unconfident when she first arrives. She falls in love with editor Bob Baker and lets her hair down in spectacular fashion when she incites a Village-wide Conga.
Eileen is a bombshell of innocence morality, yet never quite above using her physical assets to get what she wants.
This show is a fast and funny big-city adventure with a dazzling score!

A Christmas Carol
There is only one Broadway version! You'll be magically transported to Victorian London, 1843. Dickens reminds us that, even for a crusty curmudgeon like Ebenezer Scrooge, it's never too late to change. And with the help of three ghosts - Past, Present, and Yet-To-Be, and the enduring love of Tiny Tim, Scrooge learns to spread love and goodwill, and cherish what Christmas is all about.
With music by composer Alan Menken, this musical is a delight for all ages.
