It’s 1922 and Millie Dillmount clearly isn’t in Kansas anymore. Perhaps the first feminist musical ever, Thoroughly Modern Millie is the high-spirited tale of a young ingenue’s arrival in New York City. She comes of age as the flapper era does, when she discovers a big city full of intrigue, jazz and a society that’s rules of love and behavior are in the midst of a dramatic change. Forever. With a bouncy score, this quintessential Tony-winning musical will have you tapping along long after Millie’s story is told.

Tennessee Williams’ phantasmagorical Camino Real unites a cadre of literary figures – from Don Quixote and Casanova to Camille and Esmerelda – in a purgatory-like waiting room that’s both a nightmare and an inescapable condition. This place, a long stretch of highway in the middle of nowhere called the Camino Real, is home to corruption, indifference and greed, which have thwarted the attempts of anyone who’s ever tried to escape. That is, until Kilroy arrives.

One of the most charming musicals ever written, She Loves Me is a sweet, light story of two co-workers in a perfume shop in 1930’s Europe. These feuding clerks can barely tolerate the sight of each other, but have secret happy outlets with anonymous pen pals, not knowing, of course, that their mysterious correspondents are none other than each other. With warmth, intelligence and nostalgia, it’s the perfect holiday musical, as Georg and Amalia come to a remarkable realization on Christmas Eve.
The Time of Your Life

William Saroyan wrote that “The Time of your Life is a play of our time. The people in the play are people you are likely to see any day in almost any part of America, certainly at least in certain kinds of American places.” Seventy years after it won the Pulitzer Prize for drama, it’s just as true. Brilliant, funny and truthful, it all happens, for the most part, in Nick’s Pacific Street saloon, a seedy bar near the San Francisco waterfront. Colorful characters populate the dive, taking us on an adventure of love, friendship and the search for meaning in life.

Born out of wedlock in a small village in rural Argentina, Eva Peron rose to become an inspirational leader of her country. This powerful Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical collaboration follows Evita’s early life, love, rise to power, charity work, feminist activism and eventual death. This Tony Award-winning rock opera made its debut in London’s West End in 1978, skyrocketed the career of Patti Lupone in 1979 and has been a favorite around the world ever since.
