The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical

The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is a "winning adaptation" (The Hollywood Reporter) of the best-selling Disney-Hyperion novel by Rick Riordan.  As a son of Poseidon, Percy has newly discovered powers he can’t control, monsters on his trail, and he is on an epic quest to find Zeus’s lightning bolt and prevent a war between the gods. Featuring a "fast-paced, decibel-blasting" score (The Broadway Blog), this musical is "mesmerizing" and proves "lightning can strike twice!" (TheaterMania).

Dorrance Dance

Cirque Eloize

Feb. 19

Imagine this: America is expanding. The railroad is snaking westward. A town comes to life. The Saloon doors swing open revealing a motley cast of characters, each with a tale to tell. In Saloon, dynamic folk music and strains of fiddle set the tone for an acrobatic comedy that sweeps up the audience in a flurry of energy. True to its origins, Cirque Éloize is creating a show that is a heady mix of theatricality, humor, acrobatics and a return to live music.

A music-packed theatrical thrill-ride, Saloon, is fun for the entire family. A world where theater and circus collide, Saloon combines strength, agility and original choreograph for a knee-slappin’, show-stopping production.

A Bronx Tale

Feb. 26 - March 3

Based on the stoops of the Bronx in the 1960s, this streetwise musical is directed by two-time Academy Award®-winner Robert De Niro and four-time Tony Award®-winner Jerry Zaks. Inspired by Chazz Palminteri’s real-life story, the music and choreography of A Bronx Tale is “wonderful and refreshing” (The New York Times).

A story that has endured for the last 30 years, this tale is about family, loyalty and a triumphant spirit. Divided between the father he loves and the father-figure he’d love to be, A Bronx Tale’s message is about the choices we make and the impact it has on those we love.

Air Play

March 8

Circus and science collide in a gorgeous homage to the power of air. Flying umbrellas, larger-than-life balloons, giant kites floating over the audience and the biggest snow globe you’ve ever seen will make you gasp in wonder and laugh until it hurts. 

Air Play is a circus-style adventure of two siblings journeying through a surreal land of air, transforming the ordinary into objects of uncommon beauty. Fabrics dance in the wind, balloons have a mind of their own, confetti turns into the night sky, and an enormous canopy of hovering silk brings to life the very air we breathe.
