The 39 Steps “The 39 Steps” is the two-time Tony Award-winning hit show in its THIRD SMASH YEAR IN NEW YORK, which continues to be an audience-pleaser. The amazingly brilliant cast of 4 plays over 140 characters in this fast-paced comedy thriller that’s great fun for ages 9 to 90.

Crazy For You Crazy for You is a musical with a book by Ken Ludwig, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and music by George Gershwin.

Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and Toto as they travel the universe of Dorothy’s imagination.

A Taffeta Wedding It’s 1964 and wedding bells are ringing for our favorite singing sisters, The Taffetas. Join them and their crooning beaus, The Cardigans, as they swoon and sway to favorite ’50s and ’60s pop tunes like Who’s Sorry Now, Kiss Me, Sincerely and Locomotion in this nostalgically fun musical about gals and the guys they love, written by Rick Lewis, creator of The Taffetas and A Taffeta Christmas.

I Left My Heart: A Tribute To The Music Of Tony Bennett From the team that created My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra comes the jazzy new musical revue I Left My Heart – a tribute to the man Sinatra called “the greatest singer in the world,” Tony Bennett. The unforgettable score includes forty classic tunes originally recorded by Bennett, from “The Best Is Yet To Come” to “Because of You” — and, of course, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”.
