2023 SEASON
JERSEY BOYS
They had a look, an attitude, and a sound like no other.
Sure, they were born in Jersey.
But they were made in America.
Jersey Boys is the international musical phenomenon that takes
you behind the scenes — and behind the music — of Frankie Valli
and The Four Seasons. Featuring “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Sherry,”
“December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night),” “My Eyes Adored You,” “Stay,”
“Can’t Take My Eyes O You,” “Walk Like A Man,” “Who Loves You,”
“Working My Way Back to You,” and “Rag Doll,” among others.
Rated: PG-13.
Note: contains some colorful “Jersey” language.
NEWSIES
Inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899, Newsies
celebrates the power of the human spirit!
Jack Kelly and his ragtag team of newsies make a meager living
selling newspapers on the streets of New York City. But when the
prices of “papes” are hiked and the newsies are hung out to dry,
there is nothing le to do but “open the gates and seize the day!”
Led by charismatic Jack and independent, young newspaper
reporter Katherine Plumber, the newsies form a union and organize
a strike. Can a group of smart, tenacious, idealistic newsboys win
against a foe as powerful as acclaimed publishers Joseph Pulitzer
and William Randolph Hearst?
Winner of two Tony awards for Best Score and Best Choreography,
Newsies is perfect for the entire family and a spectacular example
of Broadway song and dance at its best.
Rated PG.
MAY 31 — JUNE 20
JULY 10 — 27
AUGUST 14 — 31
All performances located at the Preston H. Thomas Theatre in the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse.
2024 season
BANDSTAND
It’s 1945 and our boys are coming home!
Bandstand tells the story of musician Donny Novitski who is about
to take on the mission of his life: leading his band of fellow veterans
into competition for America’s next swing band sensation. When
Donny meets a beautiful young singer named Julia, he finds the
perfect harmony in words and music that could take this band of
brothers all the way to the live radio broadcast finale in New York
City. But to succeed, it will require every ounce of talent, stamina
and raw nerve that these musicians possess.
Featuring incredible music and the sounds of swing, jitterbug and
big band and sizzling choreography, Bandstand is a patriotic tribute
to our veterans and the nostalgia of the 1940’s. Bandstand is the
first musical sanctioned by GOT YOUR 6, a nonprofit that supports
millions of veterans, service members and their families in the
communities they call home. Rated PG.
AUGUST 14 — 31
MAY WE ALL
A new country music musical!
Produced in association with Brian Kelley (best known as the
Florida Half of Florida Georgia Line), his company, CuzBro
Productions, Lively McCabe Entertainment, and BMG, May We
All brings together several storylines about facing the music,
rebuilding and starting over. Set in Harmony, TN, May We All is
about rebuilding in the face of adversity and never giving up on
your dreams. Featuring hit songs made famous by Florida Georgia
Line, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton, Little Big
Town, Old Dominion, Brooks & Dunn, Keith Urban, Reba McEntire,
Zac Brown Band, and many more, May We All is a homespun show
for the entire family. Rated PG.
