hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom, two brothers who are

and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the
world’s very first MUSICAL!
Legally Blonde – the Musical takes the stage on Tuesday, March 5

stereotypes, sexism, snobbery, and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. Proving that you can be “legally blonde” and
STILL the smartest person in the room. This contemporary, sassy musical moves at a
breakneck pace driven by memorable songs and explosive dances. Legally Blonde - The Musical warms the
heart by proving that self-discovery can be way too much fun and hilarious to
boot.
The hills are alive with The Sound of Music as the national tour
stops at Thrasher-Horne Center on Saturday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m. The spirited, romantic, and beloved musical
story of Maria and the von Trapp Family will once again thrill audiences

Ev’ry Mountain,” “Edelweiss” and the title song.

musical tells the incredible 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.

Nights Live” tour, a 50-date trek to many of North America's top theatres,
including the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts | Moran Theatre. Following on the heels of performances at
North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam and Afropunk Paris, the multi-GRAMMY-winning
soul singer will debut new material during these intimate shows alongside his
many critically acclaimed hits.
Last month, Maxwell debuted "We Never Saw It Coming," his
reflective new song and his first piece of new music since 2016. The song's

directed by Jay Z collaborators Gerard Bush and Christopher
Renz.
