Little Shop of Horrors: One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows and one of the funniest musicals of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a household name. Featuring a charming score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin). A charming and hilarious musical with a rock-n-roll, doo-wop sound, Little Shop of Horrors never fails to entertain. Learn more and buy tickets here.
Tom Sawyer: Drawing on the beloved novel by Mark Twain, Dave Barton and Matt Bond have brought a fresh simplicity to the well-known story of Tom Sawyer, his friends and the adults in their lives. All the famous adventures are included, climaxing with the life-or-death battle with Injun Joe in the cave along with eight musical numbers, including the show-stopping “Paintin’ the Fence”. This production will have live music appropriate to the era. Learn more and buy tickets here.
