South Pacific (musical)

The landmark musical’s first Broadway revival ever! The curtain rang down on Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific in 1954 after five years of extraordinary acclaim and countless accolades, including nine Tony Awards® and a Pulitzer Prize. Considered by many the finest musical ever written, the songs include “Some Enchanted Evening,” “Younger than Springtime,” “Bali Ha’ i,” “Nothing like a Dame” and “A Wonderful Guy.” Bartlett Sher directs the new production with two-time past Tony nominee Kelli O’Hara as Nellie Forbush and acclaimed Brazilian baritone Paulo Szot in his Broadway debut as Emile De Becque.

Spring Awakening (musical)

It’s 1891 Germany. Wendla’s mom says that babies come from a woman loving with her whole heart, and nothing more. Moritz hasn’t slept in days, his grades are slipping, and all he can think about are those long, feminine, nightmares. Hanschen is a shining example of the German male, who loves studying with Ernst. Martha is hiding a secret, and bruises. And for Melchior Gabor all of this is just “The Bitch Of Living,” and he’s sick of it.

Sunday in the Park with George (musical)

The Georges Seurat painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" is the inspiration for this compelling musical fantasy which celebrates the art of creation and the creation of art.  The first half of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's musical Sunday in the Park with George, set in 1884, sees the painting and its rich comic tapestry come to life in a world where, for Georges, art comes before love, before everything.  In the second half, set in 1980s New York, we meet Georges' great grandson and see his search for inspiration among the world of contemporary art.

“My daughter and I just had a ‘Girls Night Out’ and decided to see a Broadway show.  We had a fantastic time!

 

Afterwards, we went to the stage door to get autographs from the cast.

 

Everyone was so friendly. My daughter even has the autographed Playbill hanging on her dresser mirror!”
