Chicago Naïve Roxie Hart wants to be a star in Jazz-Age Chicago.
After murdering her abusive boyfriend, inciting a media circus, and teaming up with
showboating attorney Billy Flynn, she gets her wish. The winner of six Tony Awards, an
avalanche of critical raves, and thousands of standing ovations, the sensational Chicago
is both a hard-boiled satire of cynically achieved fame and rip-roaring razzle-dazzle of a
show, featuring fabulous dancing in the style of Bob Fosse and the best score ever
composed by the legendary songwriting team of Kander and Ebb (including such showstoppers
as “All That Jazz,” “Razzle Dazzle,” and the steamy “Cell Block
Tango”).
Time: 8:00pm
Tickets: Premium - $68.00

Oliver! One of the best-loved musicals of all time,
Oliver! brings to colorful, captivating life the tale of Oliver Twist, the heroically
resilient orphan whose simple request for more porridge gets him kicked out of his
miserable workhouse onto the streets of London. There, under the tutelage of Fagin the
fence and ace pickpocket the Artful Dodger, he leads a life of crime until at last
discovering a home he never knew he had. A perennial crowd-pleaser, Oliver! features some
of Charles Dickens’ most memorable characters — pompous Mr. Bumble, good-hearted
Nancy, dastardly Bill Sikes — and boasts one of Broadway’s most memorable scores
(including “Where is Love?,” “Who Will Buy?” and “Consider
Yourself”). Consider yourself lucky to have another chance to see this enchanting
show!

 Cantabile
- The London Quartet“Cantabile,” pronounced
“Can-TAH-bih-lay” — is an Italian musical notation cuing instrumentalists
to play “in singing style.” This singularly talented vocal ensemble, alternately
named The London Quartet, might be said to sing in instrumental style; its sound is so
dynamic and full that it seems impossible that only four people are producing it. One of
Britain’s most celebrated singing groups, Cantabile covers a dazzling array of
musical styles, from Renaissance madrigals to Monty Python ditties. These gents are
entertainers as well as musicians and spike their concerts with a very British wit,
offering shows as slyly playful as they are musically sublime! As critic Tyne Compeyson
puts it, “They are masters of the form, in a class by themselves, with a versatile
sound rooted in the great English choral tradition.”Cantabile - The London Quartet

Nunsense As this phenomenally popular musical proves, a stage full of singing,
dancing, wise-cracking nuns is more fun than the proverbial barrel of monkeys. An
international hit that has been translated into 26 languages and has spawned five sequels,
Nunsense is the second-longest-running show in off-Broadway history. So don’t miss
the divine hijinks of the most improbable entertainers ever to strut their stuff on a
local stage: Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer, no-nonsense
second-in-command Sister Mary Hubert, streetwise Sister Robert Anne, wannabe ballerina
Sister Mary Leo, and the ever-forgetful Sister Mary Amnesia. Starring Sally Struthers,
two-time Emmy Award winner, best known for her role as Gloria on the classic TV show,
“All in the Family.”

 A Brief History of White Music
The premise of the show is simple: what if mainstream pop songs
originally sung by white artists were re-interpreted by a trio of African-American
performers? Everyone knows that the roots of American pop music are in the
African-American culture: ragtime, jazz and blues. Even the Beatles cited rhythm &
blues as their inspiration. This show turns the tables a bit by taking music of Buddy
Holly, the Mamas and the Papas, Sonny & Cher, Elvis, and the Beatles, and giving them
a fresh treatment, full of soul and jazz and snazzy moves. It’s the songs you grew up
loving…as they’ve never been sung before: That’ll Be the Day, Where the
Boys Are, Blue Suede Shoes, Downtown, Imagine
