Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys & Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy that is considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy. An upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers of Time Square is wooed on a bet by a professional gambler.  A perpetually engaged chorine chases her gambler fiancĂ© who runs the longest running floating crap game in New York. Mix in a bevy of girls from the Hot Box and a gaggle of perennial hucksters and Guys & Dolls makes for a comic soufflĂ© of song and dance.  Frank Loesser’s score includes such gems at “Luck Be a Lady”, “Adelaide’s Lament” and “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat”. Funny and romantic, Guys & Dolls is ideal for audiences of any age.

Called the funniest farce ever written, NOISES OFF presents a manic menagerie as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called NOTHING'S ON. Doors slamming, on- and backstage intrigue, and an errant plate of sardines all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play. "The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy. A spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce. This dizzy, well-known romp is festival of delirium."—The New York Times "Bumper car brilliance...If laughter is indeed the best medicine, NOISES OFF is worth its weight in Cipro."—New York Daily News "The funniest farce ever written! Never before has side-splitting taken on a meaning dangerously close to the non-metaphorically medical."—New York Post "As side-splitting a farce as I have seen. Ever? Ever."—New York Magazine

It's here, and it's "AN ELLE OF A SHOW" (TIME Magazine). The hilarious MGM film is Broadway's new smash hit musical, and now LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is coming to you. LEGALLY BLONDE follows sorority star Elle Woods, an underestimated blonde who doesn't take "no" for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. After turning Broadway and MTV hot pink, this “Feel-Good Song and Dance Juggernaut” (New York Magazine) is “The Best New Musical Around!” (WOR). Legally Blonde The Musical brings a whole new generation to the Broadway stage.

 "It's time to let your hair down, have a little fun," chimes the company in the opening number of this fresh, vivacious musical adaptation of a popular tale.  Rene Shwartzbuckle sings to her husband, Walt, about her zany obsession for a turnip-like vegetable called "rapunzel."  After spotting a delectable patch of the plant in Witch Izwitch's garden, Rene sends Walt to "borrow" some.  The irritated witch has her malicious henchmen, the Glumpwarts, terrorize Walt.  In fear, he promises to give his firstborn child to the witch in exchange for his own freedom.  Your audiences are then taken many years ahead to visit the beautiful Shwartzbuckle child...  Rapunzel.  (Now you know where the name comes from!)  It's our heroine's 18th birthday, and Witch Izwitch follows through with her promise and places poor Rapunzel alone in a tower.  From here, an exuberant, amusing rescue attempt begins!   Can Prince Llewellyn persevere over the powers of evil?  Will the fresh, hysterical characters (such as the sages Parsley, Rosemary and Thyme) be able to help?  And can Rapunzel convince the witch that it's okay to be unique?  Filled with an abundant supply of delightful songs like "Just Because You're Different," "I'm a Nut" and, of course, "Let Your Hair Down," this show is zestful entertainment.
