JEKYLL & HYDE THE MUSICAL | March 23 - June 2, 2012
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

An evocative tale of the epic battle between good and evil, Jekyll & Hyde is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart. Convinced the cure for his father's mental illness lies in the separation of Man's evil nature from his good, Dr. Henry Jekyll unwittingly unleashes his own dark side, wreaking havoc in the streets of late 19th century London as the savage, maniacal Edward Hyde.

Book & Lyrics by LESLIE BRICUSSE    Music by FRANK WILDHORN    Based on the story by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

DAMN YANKEES | January 13 - March 4, 2012
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Middle-aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd trades his soul to the Devil (the charming but devious Mr. Applegate) for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. As young baseball sensation Joe Hardy, he transforms the hapless Washington Senators into a winning team, only to realize the true worth of the life (and wife) he's left behind. With the help of a handy escape clause and a guilt-ridden temptress named Lola, Joe outsmarts Applegate, returns to his former self and shepherds the Senators to the World Series.

Music & Lyrics by RICHARD ADLER and JERRY ROSS    Book by GEORGE ABBOTT and DOUGLASS WALLOP

FOOTLOOSE | June 15 - August 25, 2012

One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new school. What he isn't prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin' rhythm of its Tony-nominated score, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

Stage Adaptation by DEAN PITCHFORD and WALTER BOBBIE    Music by TOM SNOW    Lyrics by DEAN PITCHFORD

It’s The Odd Couple meets A Christmas Carol when two brothers - one, a successful, high-powered businessman, the other, a struggling, out of work actor - find themselves unexpectedly spending the holidays together. When the brothers, who lead two completely different lives, find their worlds colliding, holiday hilarity ensues as a wide array of friends, family, and associates walk through the front door.  Season's Greetings is a musical comedy anyone with a family will understand and enjoy.
