One of Broadway’s most celebrated musicals, GYPSY is a musical fable of ambition, family, and the cost of fame. Follow a determined stage mother as she pushes her daughters towards stardom, all while longing for her own spotlight. As vaudeville fades and burlesque rises in the American 1920s-30s, this landmark musical, considered one of the greatest of all time, captures grit, glamour, and humor of show business. With a legendary score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim, each song sparkles with heart, wit, and showstopping moments.

The beloved 1987 film bursts to life on the Cabot stage in a magical, unforgettable theatrical experience.

With a witty and moving book by John Weidman and a heartfelt contemporary score by David Shire and Richard Maltby, Jr., BIG is a dazzling family-friendly smash hit for audiences of all ages!

A Tony Award-winning, coming-of-age hit about truth, identity, and the yearning to belong.

As his carefully woven lines unravel, Evan must confront the price of acceptance and the courage to be himself. Featuring a Tony Award-winning book by Steven Levenson and a stunning, Tony Award-winning score by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, DEAR EVAN HANSEN is a powerful, moving story that resonates with audiences of all ages.

The Tony Award-winning, laugh-out-loud hit! When low-born Monty Navarro learns he is eighth in line for a grand earldom and inheritance, he hatches a delightfully ghoulish plan to eliminate all the unsuspecting relatives in his way and perhaps win the heart of the woman he loves as well. With a witty book by Robert L. Freedman and a clever toe-tapping score by Steven Lutvak and Freedman, this theatrical comedy is darkly hilarious, brilliantly twisted, and impossible to forget.
April 16 – May 2, 2027
It’s the tail end of the wild 1980s, where Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor reign supreme at a legendary venue on the Sunset Strip. Aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew and small-town girl Sherri share big dreams and a thirst for fame. All is put to the test when the Strip’s existence is threatened by urban developers. Brought in to save the Strip, rock god Stacee Jaxx causes a wake of chaos and broken hearts instead. Packed with anthems of Twisted Sister, Styx, Whitesnake, and many more fan-favorites, ROCK OF AGES is a loud, raucous, heart-pounding celebration of rock ‘n’ roll and never giving up on what you believe in.
