WATER FOR ELEPHANTS
November 3-4, 2026
Adapted by Rick Elice from Sara Gruen's original novel, Water For Elephants features folk and Americana-infused music and lyrics by the PigPen Theatre Co. and is directed by Tony-nominee Jessica Stone. The stunning spectacle comes complete with all the wonders of the circus, including clowns, breathtaking aerialists, barkers, jugglers, and more. Equal parts thrilling cirque and heart-rending romantic drama, this musical might not be the loudest in the season, but it's certainly a rewarding and exciting experience that brings a tear to the eye and a sense of nostalgia that'll stick with you long after the final curtain.
JERSEY BOYS
February 2-4, 2027
Back for a brand new tour! Jersey Boys is the smash-hit jukebox musical that gives us the true, sometimes gritty, and always spectacularly entertaining story of falsetto idol Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. The blue-collar boys in the shiny Lurex suits strode onto the scene in 1965, wowing the public for 20 years with hits such as "Big Girls Don't Cry","Oh What a Night", and "Walk Like a Man," "Beggin", and many more. But before fame and fortune comes a difficult, and sometimes not entirely legal, journey to stardom.
THE BODYGUARD
March 15-16, 2027
In 1992, the Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston-led romantic blockbuster The Bodyguard not only broke box office records, but its soundtrack became the best-selling soundtrack of all time, simultaneously solidifying Houston's bona fide superstar status. Experience the songs she made entirely her own - 'One Moment In Time', 'Saving All My Love For You', and 'I Will Always Love You', amongst others, as they score a romantically charged tug-of-war between a diva and her bodyguard.
A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE Neil Diamond MUSICAL
June 8-9, 2027
Sweet Caroline, we're going on tour! A Beautiful Noise is a brand new production about the Grammy Award-winning legend Neil Diamond's life. Tony Award-winning 'Once on This Island' producer Kev Davenport will join forces with Four Seasons' Bob Gaudio in producing this new musical. You'll experience a journey through Diamond's life with some of his memorable hits, including 'Love on the Rocks', 'Songs Sung Blue', and of course 'Sweet Caroline' to keep your feet tapping along the way. It'll be an experience like no other!
