The Marvelous Wonderettes takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet the Wonderettes - Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy – four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts and voices to match.  As we learn about their lives and loves, we are treated to the girls performing beautifully arranged renditions of classic ‘50s songs.

After intermission, the audience is in for a wonderful surprise as they’re whisked away to the girls’ ten-year reunion.  The Wonderettes perform again with high-octane and soulful renditions of classic ‘60s tunes, and we see how their friendships have changed and endured in this captivating new Off-Broadway hit.

Forever Plaid is one of the most popular and successful musicals in recent memory, the goofy revue centers on four young, eager male singers killed in a car crash in the 1950s on the way to their first big concert, and now miraculously revived for the posthumous chance to fulfill their dreams and perform the show that never was.

Plaid Tidings is a brand-new show that offers the best of Forever Plaid tied-up in a nifty package with a big Christmas bow on top!  Filled with Christmas standards that have all been "Plaid-erized," our boys are back to do their Christmas Special.  At first they aren't sure why they've returned, but a phone call from the heavenly Rosemary Clooney lets them know that they're needed to put a little harmony into a discordant world.

Music Theatre International

This boulevard comedy was a smash hit in Paris, where it played for over two years, and in London, where critical acclaim greeted the Apollo Theatre production.

Bernard is planning a weekend with his chic mistress in a quaint country house.  He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, is packing his wife Jacqueline off to her mother's, and has even invited his best friend to provide the alibi.  It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong?  Suppose Robert turns up not knowing why he has been invited?  Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers?  What happens if the cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook?  An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.

"Hurtling along at the speed of light, [this] breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention." The Guardian

"Nifty." London Sunday Times
