Hello, Dolly!                     October 9 – November 2, 2025

Book by Michael Stewart; Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman

Based on the play The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder

This Musical adaptation of Thornton Wilder’s hit play, The Matchmaker, bursts with humor, romance, energetic dance and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre history, including “So Long Dearie”, “It Takes a Woman”, “Put On Your Sunday Clothes”, “It Only Takes A Moment” and the exuberant title song “Hello Dolly”. The romantic and comic exploits of Dolly Gallagher Levi, turn-of-the-century matchmaker and “woman who arranges things,” is one of the greatest musicals of all time!    

 

 

 

 

Holiday Inn                   December 4 – December 28, 2025

Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin; Book by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge  Based on the film from Universal Pictures

Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn tells the story of Jim, who leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut... but life just isn't the same without a bit of song and dance. Jim's luck takes a spectacular turn when he meets Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare. Together they turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July. But when Jim's best friend Ted tries to lure Linda to Hollywood to be his new dance partner, will Jim be able to salvage his latest chance at love?  Based on the classic film, this joyous musical features thrilling dance numbers, laugh-out-loud comedy and a parade of Irving Berlin hits, including "Blue Skies," "Easter Parade," "Steppin' Out With My Baby," "Heat Wave," "White Christmas," "Be Careful, It's My Heart," "Cheek to Cheek," "Shaking the Blues Away" and many more!
