Crazy for You is a romantic comedy musical by George and Ira Gershwin about a banker who falls in love with a theater owner’s daughter while trying to save the theater. The story follows Bobby Child, a young New York banker who is sent to Deadrock, Nevada to foreclose on a small-town theater. But, Bobby would rather be in show business, and he falls in love with the theater owner’s daughter, Polly. To save the theater, Bobby decides to produce a show, but he must concoct a story and risk his relationships to pull it off. Crazy for You is full of charm, slapstick comedy, mistaken identities, and iconic dance numbers. The musical includes songs like “Can’t Be Bothered Now”, “Slap That Bass”, and “Someone To Watch Over Me”.

Sister Act is the feel-good musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that has audiences jumping to their feet! Featuring original music by Tony- and eight-time Oscar winner, Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors), this uplifting musical was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act will leave audiences breathless. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to REJOICE!
