Spring Awakening (musical) |
| |
It’s Germany in 1891. 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. |

The Rat Pack |
Direct from a record-breaking run in London's West End, The Rat Pack brilliantly recreates the ultimate meeting of three legendary performers.
In 1960, while filming the casino robbery caper Ocean's Eleven in Las Vegas, Frank Sinatra got together a group of his closest buddies for impromptu concerts at the Sands Hotel. The Sands is no longer, and Frank, Sammy and Dean have left us, but The Rat Pack transports you back to that moment in popular music history that has never been equaled.

“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!”
