About the Shows
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
Oct 19-24, 2010
The classic Mel Brooks movie is ALIVE…and it’s headed here! You’ll have a monstrously good time at this spectacular new production, winner of the 2008 Outer Critics Circle Award and the Broadway.com Audience Award for BEST MUSICAL!
Audiences won’t want to miss the sensational cast delivering all their favorite moments from the classic film, plus brand-new show-stopping numbers for the stage, including Transylvania Mania, He Vas My Boyfriend and Puttin’ on the Ritz.
This wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein (that’s Fronkensteen) as he attempts to create a monster–but not without scary and hilarious complications.
The brains behind the laughter is mad genius and three-time Tony Award® winner Mel Brooks himself–who wrote the music, lyrics and co-wrote the book along with his record-breaking team from The Producers: five-time Tony®-winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman and three-time Tony Award® winning writer Thomas Meehan.
Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS
Nov 23 – 28, 2010
Audiences will discover a delightful new show that’s as fresh and rare as newly fallen snow! The classic holiday tradition White Christmas comes to the stage at last, as a brand new Irving Berlin musical direct from Broadway.
Brimming with such Berlin hits as Blue Skies, How Deep is the Ocean? and, of course, the unforgettable title song, Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS tells the story of two showbiz buddies putting on a show in a magical Vermont inn and finding their perfect mates in the bargain.
Full of dancing, laughter and some of the greatest songs ever written, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas promises to be a merry and bright theatrical experience for the whole family!
