Based on the heartwarming movie, Meet Me in St. Louis is a rare treasure in the musical theater world. Join the Smith family (Esther, Tootie, Grandpa et al) at the 1904 World’s Fair, and see how their love and respect for each other is tempered with the genuine humor that can only be generated by such a special family. Like the 1944 film, the stage version features a magical score of memorable musical numbers, including: “The Boy Next Door,” “The Trolley Song,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and several songs created especially for the stage version of this celebrated Family Classic!

Revived and rewritten for Broadway in 2002, the David Hwang version of Flower Drum Song maintains its beloved songs, but updates the storyline with delightful results. In San Francisco’s Chinatown, Chinese immigrants struggle to find their identity in their new country. Some are more successful than others. One recent arrival is Mei-Li who escaped Communist China for a new life in America. She arrives, hoping to sing at the Golden Pearl, a theatre specializing in Chinese opera. The owner’s son, Ta, however has a more Americanized theatre in mind. Mei-Li, disappointed and disenchanted, makes plans to move to Hong Kong but a last minute plea by Ta could change her mind.

Musical Highlights

“A Hundred Million Miracles”, “I Am Going to Like It Here”, and “I Enjoy Being a Girl”.

Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly “boffo” hit, winning a record twelve Tony® Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night.

The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive “Springtime For Hitler”), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.

With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender!”
