The Book of Mormon
With NINE Tony Awards - including Best Musical - a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and leading New York Times critic Ben Brantley himself calling it the "best new musical of the century", The Book of Mormon's 2011 debut was a pop culture moment. Still enjoying concurrent engagements in London's West End and on Broadway, the bad boy of musical theatre remains a top draw, leaving audiences either outraged or in pain from laughing to this day. Now heading out across the country, don't miss your chance to catch this modern classic. Just be prepared for the lewd, the crude, and downright naughty songs and antics along the way...
Hamilton
A true cultural phenomenon, Lin-Manuel Miranda's Pulitzer Prize-winning Hamilton is changing the face of the modern musical. An exhilarating historical epic, that is equal parts Sondheim and Notorious B.I.G., this record-breaking Broadway musical traces the life and times of Alexander Hamilton, one of America's most important (and colorful) historical figures.
Houston Ballet - The Nutcracker
This revered Christmas tradition continues with Stanton Welch's delightful production of the classic! A true holiday ballet for the entire family, The Nutcracker is the perfect way to introduce young children to the power and beauty of classical dance. Join Clara on her unforgettable journey as she travels to the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets, and marvel as the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Nutcracker Prince dance the final pas de deux with grace and romance.
Waitress
So good it will make your mouth water, Waitress took Broadway by storm and now returns for its national tour. Scored by pop singer Sara Bareilles, this heart-warming musical follows a small town waitress who sees a chance to leave her small town behind by winning a prestigious baking contest.
Life of Pi
After scooping a multitude of Olivier Awards for its debut run in London's West End, and three Tony Awards after its successful run on Broadway this stunning stage adaptation of Yann Martel's metaphysical novel heads out across the country! With the entire original creative team in tow, including breathtaking puppetry by Nick Barnes and Finn Caldwell. Don't miss this acclaimed new work!
