Man of La Mancha (Feb 13 – Mar 1)
Bold, theatrical, and timelessly relevant, Man of La Mancha is a masterwork of musical theatre that explores the thin line between reality and illusion. Set in the dungeons of the Spanish Inquisition, playwright and tax collector Miguel de Cervantes mounts a passionate defense of his life’s work by transforming his fellow prisoners into the characters from the beloved story of Don Quixote. With its stirring score, including the iconic anthem “The Impossible Dream,” Man of La Mancha challenges us to see the world not as it is, but as it should be.
In the Heights (Apr 10 – 26)
Before Hamilton took the world by storm, Lin-Manuel Miranda used his real life as inspiration to create In the Heights, a vibrant, Tony Award-winning musical that pulses with the rhythm of the streets and the heart of a community. Set in New York’s Washington Heights, this exhilarating story follows a neighborhood as they dream of escape, belonging, and a future full of promise. Through a score infused with hip-hop, salsa, and soul, this musical celebrates the hopes that propel us forward as one neighborhood strives to hold onto its roots while reaching for something more.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Jul 10 – 26)
Go Go Go JOE! Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a dazzling celebration of hope, resilience, and the power of dreams. Based on the Biblical story of Joseph, his eleven brothers, and his multicolored coat, this high-energy musical follows Joseph’s journey from betrayal to triumph as his unshakable belief in his dreams leads him to greatness. With an unforgettable score that spans genres from pop to rock to jazz, this vibrant, heartwarming show explores how dreams can change the course of fate and reveal the true potential within us all.
Little Women (Nov 6 – 22)
Every generation has their version of Louisa May Alcott’s timeless novel Little Women. The March sisters’ story of growing up and chasing their dreams has impacted audiences of all ages, and this musical version will make the next generation fall in love with Jo, Meg, Beth, Amy, and the beautiful world they inhabit. With a soaring score and poignant lyrics, Little Women captures the hope, love, and personal sacrifice that shape the March sisters’ journey, reminding us all that no dream is too big when you have the support of those you love.
