THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT, THE SMELL OF THE CROWD
by Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley
Written by Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley, this lively, humorous musical revolves around adversaries named "Cocky" and "Sir", who are caricatures of their social condition, and at odds in every way.
The musical/comedy opened on Broadway in 1965 and ran for over 200 performances. The magical show includes hit songs Look At That Face, A Wonderful Day Like Today, Who Can I Turn To?, The Joker, My Way, Nothing Can Stop Me Now, and Where Would You Be Without Me. The songs have been made famous by Tony Bennett, Lena Horne, Johnny Mathis, Sammy Davis, Jr., and others.
NOISES OFF
by Michael Frayn
It's a classic play within a play; or rather a farce within a farce. Lloyd Fellowes is the director of a theatre company. The audiences watches the production from final rehersals, through opening night, and onto the tour: as with any group of actors forced to work closely together for any great length of time, romances and arguments are bound to break out. Quite often, what's happening on stage is nothing compared to what's happening backstage!
The hysterical comedy/farce opened on Broadway in 1983 starring Victor Garber and Dorothy Loudon and ran over 500 performances. It was revived in 2001 with Peter Gallagher and Patti LuPone. The movie made in 1992 had an all-star cast including Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve, John Ritter, Marylou Henner, Julie Hagerty, and Mark Linn-Baker.

MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET
adapted by Will Severin, Patricia Di Benedetto Snyder and John Vreeke from the novel by Valentine Davies. Music by Will Severin
Kris Kringle is the personification of good will and holiday spirit. As the Macy's holiday Santa, he enchants children and shoppers so completely that his claim to be the real Santa Clause is deemed dangerous by fellow employees who question his competency and plot to ruin him. A small girl's belief in Santa Claus and the magic of the holiday is at stake in a climactic courtroom decision.
This is a hilarious, tender, and charming show for the entire family as a Christmas classic. The staged version was originally produced by the New York State Theatre Institute. The 1947 movie starring Natalie Wood won 3 Academy Awards. The movie was remade again in 1994 starring Mara Wilson.
THE SUNSHINE BOYS
by Neil Simon
Al Lewis and Willie Clark played vaudeville as a team for 43 years, but squabbling and animosity has kept them far apart for the last decade. Now CBS wants them to appear in a television tribute to their comedy. Despite their differences, the odd couple's reunion sparks delirious comedy, with all the verbal wit and hilarity we have come to expect from the beloved Neil Simon.
The 1975 movie starred Walter Matthau and George Burns and gave Matthau an Academy Award nomination, while winning Burns his only Oscar. The show was most recently portrayed by television's "The Odd Couple" alumni Jack Klugman and Tony Randall in the 1998 Broadway revival.
OLIVER!
adapted by Lionel Bart from the Charles Dickens novel
This is the one of the most beloved British musicals, vividly bringing to life Charles Dickens’ timeless characters from his ever-popular novel "Oliver Twist" about an orphan boy who asked for more.
With a lively story and colorful characters the whole family can enjoy, the show is about a little orphan boy, Oliver, who joins a boys' gang of pickpockets, led by The Artful Dodger and Fagin, and the amazing journey through life that he leads. It's an emotional story that engages the audience with comedy and drama, while delighting everyone with memorable musical numbers including "Food, Glorious Food", "I'd Do Anything", "Consider Yourself", "As Long As He Needs Me", "Who Will Buy?", and "Reviewing the Situation".
DIAL 'M' FOR MURDER
by Frederick Knott

Unfortunately, for both of them, Tony retired too late, and discovered that his wife has been having an affair.
