Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre's 2018 - 2019 Mainstage Season:

Havana Music Hall

Music by Richard Kagan

Book by Carmen Pelaez

Lyrics by Richard Kagan and Jose Perico Hernandez

Story by Richard Kagan

October 10 - November 18, 2018

This brand new musical was selected specifically by our artistic team to develop in Miami on its way to Broadway. An exciting world premiere, Havana Music Hall reflects the pulse of our community with its irresistible musical beat and heartwarming story centering on Cuban musicians Rolando and Ramona Calderon, and their lives in Cuba from 1958 to the present. Just as their local Havana band is about to get its big break, the Revolution tears apart the only world the duo have ever known. This moving and relevant new musical explores the challenges and joys of one family's 50-year odyssey for survival, presenting a journey which immigrants of all cultures from around the world have traveled for generations.

One Man, Two Guvnors

By Richard Bean

Songs by Grant Olding

Based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni

January 23 - February 10, 2019

Mistaken identity is closer than you think in this multiple Tony Award-winning comedy. One Man, Two Guvnors is a triumph of visual and verbal comedy, a feel good hit. Join leading character Francis Henshall as he enlists the aid of willing and unwilling audience members, and a large hilarious cast of characters, in his quest to serve two masters and his pursuit of a good meal.

Memphis

Music and lyrics by David Bryan

Book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro

March 13 - April 7, 2019

Inspired by actual events, Memphis follows the story of Huey Calhoun, a fictitious white radio DJ who was one of the first to play black music in 1950s Memphis, and Felicia, a black club singer who is hoping for her big break. Filled with laughter, soaring emotion, forbidden love, irresistible dancing, rhythm and blues, and roof raising rock 'n' roll, this winner of four Tony Awards including "Best Musical" features a Tony-winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), and a Tony-winning original score with music by David Bryan, one of the founding members of Bon Jovi.

Doubt

By John Patrick Shanley

May 15 - June 9, 2019

Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for "Best Play," all elements come invigoratingly together like clockwork in John Patrick Shanley's provocative play Doubt, a gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest's behavior that is less about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty. Doubt is blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, and a powerful drama that represents the eloquent and provocative investigation of truth and consequences.

Murder for Two

Book and lyrics by Kellen Blair

Book and music by Joe Kinosian

July 17 - August 11, 2019

Mixing classic musical comedy with a dash of Agatha Christie, everyone is a suspect in this house of eccentric characters unfazed by the dead body on the floor. Murder for Two is a hilarious musical murder mystery with a twist; one actor investigates the crime, the other plays all 13 suspects, and they both play the piano! A zany madcap musical mystery, this 90-minute whodunit is a highly theatrical duet loaded with killer laughs.
