Civic Favorite
Back By Popular Demand!
The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors
comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable.
Joseph, his father's favorite son, is blessed with
prophetic dreams. Sold into slavery by his jealous
brothers, Joseph endures a series of adventures that
test his spirit and his humanity.
The story, told almost entirely in song, is set to an
engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from
country/western and calypso to rock ‘n’ roll.
On stage, the Old Testament tale emerges
both timely and timeless.

Join that sweet transvestite and his motley crew and do the
Time Warp! Richard O'Brien's campy West End musical led
to the cult classic film famous for midnight showings. Fans
may remember O'Brien best as Riff Raff on the big screen.
A humorous tribute to the science fiction and "B" horror
films, this musical tells the story of a newly engaged
couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home
of a mad transvestite scientist. Dr. Frank N. Furter unveils
his new creation, an artificially made, physically perfect
muscle man named Rocky Horror.
Just like the film, this show is all about audience
participation. Join the fun with cascading toilet paper,
other props, sassy retorts and dancing the Time Warp!
When you experience it LIVE...this deliberately kitschy
rock 'n' roll sci-fi gothic is more fun than ever!

THE MUSICAL
Music by Alan Menken Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
November 5-20
Originally Presented by Radio City Entertainment
At the Theater at Madison Square Garden
Ebenezer Scrooge is a prosperous curmudgeon who
believes personal wealth is far more valuable than the
happiness and comfort of others. With an infuriated "Bah!
Humbug!" Scrooge expresses his feelings on Christmas
tidings and charity, but he's soon forced to face his selfish
ways. On Christmas Eve three ghosts lead him through his
Past, Present and Future. Thanks to their guidance,
Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas
morning with a cheerful "Happy Christmas!" before
spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with
those that mean the most to him.
Scrooge and his ghostly encounters come to life in this
lavish and thrilling Broadway adaptation. Broadway heavy
hitters Alan Menken (Disney's Beauty And The Beast, Disney's
The Little Mermaid, Little Shop Of Horrors) and Lynn Ahrens
(Ragtime, Seussical, Once On This Island) breathe fantastic
new life into this classic tale.

From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis,
Tennessee, comes a hot new Broadway musical that burst
off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and
a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love. Inspired by
actual events, Memphis is about a white radio DJ
who wants to change the world, and a black club singer
who is ready for her big break.
Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the
airwaves. A journey filled with laughter, soaring emotion
and roof-raising rock ‘n’ roll. Winner of four 2010 Tony
Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical
& Best Original Score.

In a magical kingdom beneath the sea, the beautiful,
young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to
live in the world above. Once she encounters
Prince Eric, she strikes a bargain with the evil sea witch,
Ursula to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not
what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful
friends Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull, and
Sebastian the crab to restore order in the ocean's depths.
Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved
stories and the classic animated film, Disney's The Little
Mermaid is a beautiful love story for the ages.
With music by eight-time Academy Award winner
Alan Menken, this fishy fable will capture your heart
with its irresistible songs.
