(One Week Only!)

“Hilarious! The most entertaining show on or off Broadway!"
 Gannett Newspapers

It’s like Seinfeld set to music!  This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind the contemporary conundrum know as "the relationship." It begins with the journey from waiting to dating through love and marriage and then reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws, newborns, trips in the family car, and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, and to those who have dared to ask, "What are you doing Saturday night?"
It’s witty, it's sexy, it's silly, it's touching - it's Sesame Street for adults!  After six years on Broadway, and a Tony for Best Musical, Avenue Q comes to the Playhouse with the story of a bright-eyed college grad named Princeton who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. Once he moves to Avenue Q, he and his outrageous and fuzzy new friends teach us laugh-out-loud lessons about finding jobs, dates, and that ever-elusive purpose in life. A different kind of musical, you'll find it tickling every funny-bone in your body!

JUNE 22 - JULY 4, 2010

JULY 6 - 18, 2010

 A Chorus Line is a celebration of the unsung heroes of the American Musical Theatre: the chorus. It takes the audience through a grueling audition for a new Broadway show and tells the achingly poignant ambitions of professional dancers to become one of the nameless, faceless gypsies who back up the star. It could have been a story of executives or housewives or doctors - for everyone, at one time or another puts their dreams on the line for promotion, attention, approval and love. The winner of nine Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, A Chorus Line inspires while it entertains with the song and dance that is Broadway.
Don Lockwood has just become Hollywood’s newest silent screen star when a rival studio releases its first talking picture, “The Jazz Singer” to enormous success! Now every one must scramble to make movies that talk and sing and dance, all while trying to salvage the career of the chipmunk-voiced leading lady. Some of the most memorable musical moments ever captured on film like “Good Morning”, “Make ‘Em Laugh”, “Broadway Melody (Gotta Dance)” and the title song are brought to three-dimensional life on stage. Come be reminded why Singin’ in the Rain is often described as the most beloved movie musicals of all time and has never diminished in popularity in over 60 years!

JULY 20 - AUGUST 1, 2010

 

AUGUST 3 - 15, 2010

 Set in the 1980’s, during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts, Fame is the story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work and confront issues of prejudice, identity, self-worth, and everything that makes adolescence thrilling and terrifying at the same time. With an inspiring story of passion and perseverance, a pulsating pop score and two motion pictures, a television series and a musical to its credit Fame is “gonna live forever!”
It's been too long since we've seen Fiddler at the Playhouse!  In the little village of Anatevka, a poor dairyman tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community as the modern world threatens to unwind the fabric of their beliefs. Rich in historical detail and filled with a rousing, heartwarming score including “Matchmaker”, “If I Were A Rich Man” and “Sunrise, Sunset,” it's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion. No other musical has magically woven music, dance, poignancy and laughter into such an electrifying and unforgettable experience.

AUGUST 17 - 29, 2010

AUGUST 31 - SEPT 5, 2010

 New York City, 1953: Max Prince, the star of a weekly variety show is in danger of becoming obsolete. NBC executives have threatened to shorten his time slot because they fear his humor is “too sophisticated” for Middle America. Inspired by the playwright's early career experience as a junior jokesmith on Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows with Larry Gelbert, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, the show’s narrator, Lucas Brickman (Simon’s alter-ego) keeps a running tab of the writing, fighting, and wacky antics while the harried writing staff frantically scramble to top each other with gags all while competing for the star’s attention.   A Neil Simon laugh riot!

And for kids from 3 to 103, be sure to see...
