Love Never Dies, a story of boundless
love, full of passion and drama, follows Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of
the Opera, one of the most successful musicals of all time, which has now
been seen by more than 130 million people worldwide and is the winner of over
50 international awards. The ultimate love story continues in Love
Never Dies. The year is 1907. It is 10 years after his disappearance from
the Paris Opera House and the Phantom has escaped to a new life in New York
where he lives amongst the screaming joy rides and freak shows of Coney Island.
In this new, electrically charged world, he has finally found a place for his
music to soar, but he has never stopped yearning for his one true love and
musical protégée, Christine Daaé.
An American in Paris is the new Tony
Award ®-winning musical about an American soldier, a mysterious French girl,
and an indomitable European city, each yearning for a new beginning in the
aftermath of war. Acclaimed director/choreographer and 2015 Tony Award ®-winner
Christopher Wheeldon brings the magic and romance of Paris into perfect harmony
with unforgettable songs from George and Ira Gershwin in the show that earned
more awards than any other musical in the 2015 season! The New York
Times raves “An American in Paris is a triumph! Pure
joy!” and the Wall Street Journal declares, “Once you’ve seen
it, you’ll find it hard to settle for less ever again.” Don’t miss this
stunning Broadway hit when it appears in Detroit on its first national tour!
The Bodyguard, the award-winning
musical based on the smash hit film, will star Grammy® Award-nominee and
R&B superstar Deborah Cox. Former Secret Service agent turned
bodyguard, Frank Farmer,
is hired to protect superstar Rachel Marron from an unknown
stalker. Each expects to be in charge; what they don’t expect is to fall
in love. A breathtakingly romantic thriller, The Body Guard features
a host of irresistible classics including “Queen of the Night,” “So Emotional,”
“One Moment in Time,” “Saving All My Love,” “Run to You,” “I Have Nothing,” “I
Wanna Dance with Somebody” and one of the biggest selling songs of all time —
“I Will Always Love You.”
The winner of Broadway.com’s Audience Choice Award for Best
Musical, Finding Neverland “captures the kid-at-heart,”
says Time Magazine. Directed by visionary Tony ®-winner Diane
Paulus and based on the critically-acclaimed Academy Award ®-winning film, Finding
Neverland tells the story behind one of the world’s most beloved
characters: Peter Pan. Playwright J.M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration
until he meets four young brothers and their beautiful widowed mother.
Spellbound by the boys’ enchanting make-believe adventures, he sets out to
write a play that will astound London theatergoers. With a little bit of pixie
dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes this monumental leap, leaving his old
world behind for Neverland where nothing is impossible and the wonder of
childhood lasts forever. Finding Neverland is “far and
away the best musical of the year!” (NPR)
School of Rock is a New York
Times Critics’ Pick and “an inspiring jolt of energy, joy and mad
skillz!” (Entertainment Weekly). Based on the hit film, this hilarious
new musical follows Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star posing as a substitute
teacher who turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding,
bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. This high-octane smash features 14 new
songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber, all the original songs from the movie and
musical theater’s first-ever kids rock band playing their instruments live on
stage. Vanity Fair raves, “Fists of all ages will be pumping!”
From international superstardom to life-threatening tragedy, On
Your Feet! takes you behind the music and inside the real story of
this record-making and groundbreaking couple who, in the face of adversity,
found a way to end up on their feet. From their humble beginnings in Cuba,
Emilio and Gloria Estefan came to America and broke through all barriers to
become a crossover sensation at the very top of the pop music world. But just
when they thought they had it all, they almost lost everything. Directed by
two-time Tony Award ® winner Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots), with
choreography by Olivier Award winner Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys) and
an original book by Academy Award ® winner Alexander Dinelaris (Birdman), On
Your Feet! features some of the most iconic songs of the past
quarter-century—and one of the most inspiring stories in music history
