Romance. Rebellion. & ROCK 'N' ROLL! Combining all-time favorite Elvis Presley songs with a surefire rock'n'roll story, ALL SHOOK UP tells the romantic tale of how a young girl's dream comes true when a guitar-playin' roustabout rides into a square state and turns the town upside down with his hip-swivelin', lip-curlin'and sexy song singin'. The clever book is by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), with buoyant and energetic direction by Tony Award-nominee Christopher Ashley (The Rocky Horror Show), and features such classics as "Heartbreak Hotel", "Burning Love", "Jailhouse Rock", "Blue Suede Shoes," "It's Now or Never," and "Don't Be Cruel."

Monty Python's SPAMALOT

January 9 – 21, 2007

Winner of the 2005 Tony® Award for Best Musical, Monty Python's SPAMALOT is the outrageous new musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the film classic "Monty Python and The Holy Grail." Directed by Tony® Award-winner Mike Nichols, with book and lyrics by Monty Python's Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, SPAMALOT tells the tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on their quest for the Holy Grail. Flying cows, killer rabbits, taunting Frenchman and show-stopping musical numbers are just a few of the reasons audiences everywhere are eating up SPAMALOT.

THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE

March 13 – 25, 2007

In the Tony® Award-winning new musical THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. "SPELLING BEE is riotously funny and remarkably ingenious. Gold stars all around," says The New York Times. The Wall Street Journal called SPELLING BEE, "perfect in every possible way – that rarity of rarities, a super-smart musical that is also a bona fide crowd-pleaser. An ingenious blend of simplicity and sophistication, it's not merely funny, it's wise."
