Cirque Dreams Illumination
Tuesday, Dec. 8 | Times & Pricing
From the creators of the groundbreaking BROADWAY HIT Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy comes an all new journey of nighttime dreamers whose imaginations are ignited within a landscape of towering buildings and infinite possibilities. Created and directed by Neil Goldberg, Cirque Dreams Illumination has been hailed as “Dazzling!...a reason to stand up and cheer” by the New York Daily News. Audiences of all ages will marvel and experience a journey of city dwellers who reinvent everyday objects, balance beyond belief, delicately dangle from wires, leap tall buildings and redefine the risks of flight in an array of astounding occurrences that transform the ordinary into extraordinary. An international cast of world-class acrobats, athletes, musicians and one of a kind artists populate this imaginative, colorful metropolis and breathe life into over 100 inventive costumes, an original musical score and magical sights that transform the landscape of a city into thrills and disbelief.
STOMP
Tuesday & Wednesday, Jan. 19 & 20 | Times & Pricing
STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, sexy, utterly unique and appeals to audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered an armful of awards and rave reviews, and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments—matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps—to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured and the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans. As USA Today says, “STOMP finds beautiful noises in the strangest places.” STOMP. See what all the noise is about.
Menopause the Musical®
Friday—Sunday, Jan. 29—31 | Times & Pricing
Back by popular demand! Menopause The Musical® is set in a department store, where four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance at a lingerie sale. The all-female cast makes fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realize that menopause is no longer The Silent Passage! It is a stage in every woman’s life that is perfectly normal! Since March 2001, the hilarious show has entertained and inspired women from coast-to-coast and internationally. This laughter-filled 90-minute production includes parodies from the classics of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Menopause The Musical® has launched a women’s movement that has superseded entertainment and has become a must-see event!
