When a musical theatre fanatic needs an evening away from it all, he turns to his favorite album-the 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. As the stage transforms from his living room to the hilarious and unpredictable world of this show-within-a-show, we meet Janet Van De Graaff, a showgirl attempting to leave the business to get married. But leaving is not as easy as she hopes when her producer is pressured by gangsters to keep Janet in the show. Two-time Tony Award-winning actress and star of the Broadway production Anything Goes Sutton Foster joins us to direct this delightful tribute to the magic of the American musical!

WELCOME to the show that won Broadway's highest honors by first winning its heart. WELCOME to the next chapter in the classic American story on stage. WELCOME to the kind of musical that comes around once in a generation. A musical that builds on the best traditions of theater while forging into fresh new territory. A musical about the importance of home, family and finding where you belong.

In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in Manhattan's Washington Heights - a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It's a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.

Discover where you belong, at the Tony Award®-winning classic, In the Heights.

On the 100th anniversary of its tragic journey, TITANIC recounts the dreams, hopes and aspirations of those aboard the fateful ship. The story of the launching, the collision with the iceberg, and the sinking is played out against the background of the rigid class-distinctions of the Edwardian Age. Unaware of the fate that awaits them, the Third Class immigrants dream of a better life in America, the newly-enfranchised Second Class dream of achieving the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and the millionaire-Barons of the First Class dream of their hegemony lasting forever. The ship itself, a dream deemed to be life-protecting and unsinkable by the ship's Architect Thomas Andrews, journeys into legend in the hands of its Captain, Owner and Crew - as a Stoker, a Lookout, and a Telegraph Operator reveal from their perspectives why Titanic was going too fast, saw the iceberg too late, and could not summon help to arrive in time.

More than fifty years ago one musical changed theater forever. Now it's back and mesmerizing audiences once again. From the first note to the final breath, West Side Story soars as the greatest love story of all time and remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The Bernstein and Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway's finest and features such classics of the American musical theatre as "Something's Coming," "Tonight," "America," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere." As the Associated Press says, "West Side Story remains Broadway's best dance-driven musical. Five decades have not dimmed the extraordinary choreography or the score that pulsates throughout."

Shrek The Musical, based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to life on stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre - not a handsome prince - shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a villain with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek. Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, WWOR-TV proclaims Shrek The Musical, "Far, far and away the funniest new musical on Broadway!" Shrek The Musical is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!

Rock of Ages is the smash hit musical featuring 28 classic rock tunes including Don't Stop Believin', We Built This City, The Final Countdown, Wanted Dead or Alive, Here I Go Again, Harden My Heart, Can't Fight this Feeling, Renegade and I Want To Know What Love Is. In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl met a big city rocker in LA's most famous rock club and they fell in love to the greatest songs of the 80's. It's about dreaming big, playing loud and paryting on! The New York Times calls it "Majestic Brilliance" and Spin Magazine describes it as "Pure Broadway Gold."

Hello Dolly! was first produced on Broadway in 1964, winning ten Tony Awards including Best Musical. This classic has become one of the most enduring musical theatre hits, enjoying three Broadway revivals as well as international success. The 1969 film adaptation starring Barbara Streisand was nominated for seven Academy Awards. The show's album, "Hello, Dolly!," an Original Cast Recording, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002. This touring production features Sally Struthers in the title role. Jerry Hermans score is filled with Broadway standards, not just the title song, but terrific songs like "Put on Your Sunday Clothes," "It Only Takes a Moment," and the show-stopping act one curtain song, "Before the Parade Passes By."
