Medieval traveling performers bring to life the story of Pippin, the restless heir of Charlemagne, on his quest for purpose. Dreaming of greatness, he dives into war, passion, and even murder-only to find himself disillusioned at every turn in this dazzling and provocative coming-of-age parable about what it means to be extraordinary.

This Tony Award winner for Best Musical is a hilarious and lyrical satire of money, manners, morals, and, yes, murder. After his mother's death, Monty Navarro is shocked and delighted to learn that she had a secret: she's related to the absurdly wealthy and aristocratic D'Ysquith family. And if, at first, Monty hoped his new relations might provide a sorely needed cash infusion, as eighth in line to the title of Earl of Highhurst, there isn't much hope for him inheriting the family treasure. When Monty's reunion with one of his long-lost kinfolk suddenly results in him moving into seventh place, he wonders to himself, "Why stop there?" Thus begins one of the funniest and most outrageous murder sprees in musical theatre history. Even better, in this production, all seven ill-fated D'Ysquiths are played by DMV-favorite Tom Story (Mrs. Trunchbull in Matilda).

TLC blazed a trail and changed the game. The trio stormed the 90s music scene, not only topping the charts-but creating the look, sound, and soul of a generation. With their unforgettable anthems, fly dance moves, and head-turning style, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas defined what it meant to be women in music. The most successful female group of all time, they've spent over three decades breaking boundaries and empowering generations. Now their journey comes to the stage with the fresh, new musical CrazySexyCool.

A sister and brother, the elder born in The Old Country and the younger born in This Country, share both big and small moments and memories from childhood through teenage rebellion, career successes, parenthood, and growing old. Their disparate perspectives lead to both fractures and forgiveness as they witness each other's stories.

It's showtime! Based on Tim Burton's dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that's out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE is "SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!" (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it's a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!
