Book, music, and lyrics by Jonathan Larson

Measure your life in love.
Since its1996 debut, Jonathan Larson’s musical, Rent, has been awarded four Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize! For almost 30 years, it has been enthralling audiences with its story of love, loss, and hope set against the backdrop of New York’s Lower East Side during the onslaught of the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s. Loosely based on Puccini’s La Bohème, the show follows a group of impoverished artists and musicians as they navigate their way through a year of challenges and triumphs, all while trying to make a life for themselves in the city that never sleeps. Over its almost four-decade long run, Rent has been praised for its frank and honest portrayal of addiction, mental illness, and disease, as well as its hopeful message of love and acceptance. The musical has resonated with audiences all over the world, and although it is now widely recognized as a theatre classic, its popularity continues to grow. Rent reminds us all that the only way we should be measuring the seasons of our life, is in “Seasons of Love!”
Not recommended for audiences younger than 14.

“Brains, beauty, and Bruiser: Harvard has no idea what’s coming!”
Fasten your stilettos and get ready to snap and strut into Elle Woods’ world! This blonde dynamo is heading to Harvard Law with a lot of style, a little pup named Bruiser, and enough pink power suits to turn every courtroom into a Paris fashion show. With a dash of bling and a whole lot of sass, Elle’s here to prove that she’s not just hair flips and heels—she’s got the brains, heart, and high-energy dance numbers to take on the Ivy League. This feel-good musical will have you cheering as Elle conquers law school, smashes stereotypes, and shows us that self-confidence is the ultimate accessory

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by Hugh Wheeler
“Revenge is a dish best served… in a meat pie.”
Prepare for a dark journey through the sinister streets of Victorian London with Sweeney Todd. Follow the vengeful barber as he seeks justice, aided by the cunning Mrs. Lovett and her rather… unique meat-pie business. Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece weaves a twisted tale of love, revenge, and morality, brought to life by hauntingly beautiful music. Equal parts chilling and captivating, Sweeney Todd will leave you spellbound—and maybe a bit wary of your next shave…
