"'Chicago' still glitters hypnotically" -- Ben Brantley, The New York Times

There's never been a better time to experience "Chicago," Broadway's razzle-dazzle smash This triumphant hit musical is the recipient of six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy and thousands of standing ovations A sensational tale of sin, corruption and all that jazz, it's no surprise that "Chicago" has wowed audiences from Mexico City to Moscow, from Sao Paulo to South Africa And now it's returning to Sacramento

If you're looking for your first Broadway musical, "Chicago" has everything you could want: knockout dancing, an edge-of-your-seat story and one showstopper after another If you loved the Academy Award-winning film, nothing beats the live show, and if you are already intimately acquainted with the musical, experience that sizzle again "Chicago" always delivers

How much fun can you have in the hospital? Tons, as evidenced in the world premiere of the madcap farce by local playwright Michael Messmer, The Witherspoon Waltz

In the style of a Marx Brothers romp, theater producer Hal Stine is desperate to get financial backing for a new show from wealthy widow Mrs Witherspoon So desperate, in fact, that he has tracked her to the hospital where she is being treated for unexplained fatigue When Hal pretends to be a psychiatrist called in to help, his methods distract the doctor, lead to wild chases in a wheelchair, cause everyone to try to hide, and send a waltz spinning out of control Along the way, we find that Hal is surprisingly caring, the doctor has a few tricks of her own, and Mrs Witherspoon is nobody’s fool

Frank Sinatra He's the icon of cool - from classic elegance to contemporary "fedora" hipster Two dynamic couples will take you from the 1940's swing era, to the bright lights of Las Vegas with the Rat Pack in the 1960s, and to his final performances in the 1990s of Ol' Blue Eyes As Stephen Holden wrote for the 1983 Rolling Stone Record Guide: "Frank Sinatra's voice is pop music history" Come hear the songs that his voice made history

Among the 58 songs made famous by Sinatra are "Strangers in the Night," "That Old Black Magic," "New York, New York," "I've Got You Under My Skin," "High Hopes," "Fly Me to the Moon" and, of course, "My Way"

The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein's CINDERELLA was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less sucessful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits! This Enchanted Edition is based on the 1997 teleplay

Book by Arthur Marx and Robert Fisher
Music by Larry Grossman - Lyrics by Hal Hackady
Directed by Bob Irvin

A madcap musical based on the lives of the Marx Brothers But it's much more than that It's a touching, song-filled celebration of a show business legend and about gutsy, tender, Minnie Marx who started it all It is the warm and rollicking story of this extraordinary woman who gave birth to a generation of laughter in the form of the maddest, merriest quintet that ever drove a mother wild and then proceeded to do the same with audiences throughout the world This is their story—and Minnie's "Mama a Rainbow", "Rich Is", "They Give Me Love" and the title song are just a few of the catchy, Broadway-style melodies in this hummable score With "Minnie's Boys", audiences are in for a most melodious, loony and lovely evening
