4-Star Calgary Herald Review 4-Star Calgary Sun Review

 

"CHICAGO has everything that makes Broadway great: a universal tale of fame, fortune and all that jazz; one show-stopping song after another; and the most astonishing dancing you've ever seen."

"CHICAGO has been honored with 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy and thousands of standing ovations. It's also no surprise that CHICAGO has wowed audiences all around the world, from Mexico City to Moscow, from Sao Paulo to South Africa."

"Whether you've seen the Academy Award-winning film and want to experience the show live on stage or whether you've seen it before and want to recapture the magic, CHICAGO always delivers."

"CHICAGO" is one of the most noted and longest running musicals on Broadway. Loosely based on a murder case in the 1920s that grabbed the attention of the media, it is a satirical look at the way society turns criminals into celebrities. Those criminals are Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart who stand accused of murdering their respective lovers. They are immediately vaulted into the spotlight by the media aided by their somewhat less than ethical lawyer and PR machine, Billy Flynn. When they are eventually acquitted of the crimes the press ends their love affair with the girls leaving them alone and penniless.

Uptown Country Girls 

 

This musical revue delves into the evolution of women in country music and their struggles in a male dominated industry.

Patsy Cline was the first of her kind to earn genuine respect as a country artist. She paved the way for the Queens of Country, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Reba McEntire, all of whom had their share of adversity and controversy, but ultimately led to enormously successful careers.

While these artists would take inspiration from other genres such as gospel, blues, R&B and pop to diversify their country sound it would be the next generation who would explode country onto the mainstream pop charts. Shania Twain, The Dixie Chicks, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift are among those who continue to take country music and the empowerment of women in the music industry to new levels.

I Love You Because…
- a modern day musical love story

Music by Joshua Salzman, Books and Lyrics by Ryan Cunningham, Orchestrations by Larry Hochman

“Boasts the quirky elements that made Friends a huge hit.” 
- Backstage

“Infectiously entertaining! … Filled with wit and zest, I Love You Because is terrific, refreshing fun.”     
- The New York Times

I Love You Because is everything an Off-Broadway musical should be! A charming piece of work that will send you home smiling!”
- The Wall Street Journal

A modern day twist on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, set in New York City. A young, uptight greeting card writer’s life is changed when he meets a flighty photographer. Along with their eccentric friends and siblings, they learn to love each other not in spite of their faults, but because of them. Because it’s easy to say, “I love you anyway”, but hard and all the more rewarding to say, “I love you because”.

Unnecessary Farce

By Paul Slade Smith

"A smash hit! Two hours of non-stop laughter. The plot weaves you through mix-ups and mayhem you won't believe. This is one funny show you don't want to miss!"
- Jim Fordyce, ABC 53 (Michigan)

 

 

“This laugh-out-loud comedy has everything one can hope for in a modern-day farce: two likable cops operating way out of their league, a supposedly crooked mayor with impeccable timing, his innocent-acting wife, a shy accountant with a penchant for dropping her drawers, a nervous double agent who'd like to get IN those drawers, a Scottish hit man whose brogue gets thicker the angrier he gets, two adjoining motel rooms, simmering sexual tension and eight doors a slammin'.”

- Donald V. Calamia, Between the Lines
Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go.

Fiddler on the Roof

Book by Joseph Stein , Music by Jerry Bock,
Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick

Based on Sholem Aleichem's stories by special permission of Arnold Perl

"One of the great works of American musical theatre. It is darling, touching, beautiful, warm, funny and inspiring. It is a work of art."
-Daily News


"Filled with laughter and tenderness. It catches the essence of a moment in history with sentiment and radiance. An exceptional accomplishment."
-The New York Times

"One of the great musical comedies of our era."
-Newsweek Magazine

In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia.

Rich in historical and ethnic detail, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. The universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

Avenue Q

RATED R for strong adult language, mature themes and full puppet nudity. Recommended for adults only.

Music and Lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx 
Book by Jeff Whitty 

Based on an original concept by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx
"Of all the musicals hatched in the post-2000 age of irony, AVENUE Q has remained the FRESHEST and FUNNIEST!"
-
Variety

CRITIC'S PICK: "SWEETLY SATIRIC and SURPRISINGLY FRESH!"
-
The New York Times

Named the Best Show on Broadway of 2003 by over 13 publications!

AVENUE Q is a gut-bustingly hilarious modern musical focusing on a group of unique 20-somethings making their way in the big city, seeking their purpose in life. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children's show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good and life lessons are learned.

Winner of the Tony "Triple Crown" for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, AVENUE Q is part flesh, part felt, and packed with heart. AVENUE Q is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it's clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.
