"Defending the Caveman" October 10-29, 2017
Defending the Caveman, the longest running solo show in Broadway history, is a hilariously insightful play about the ways men and women relate.

These royal renegades have tossed off their tiaras to bring their hilariously subversive, not-for-the-kiddies musical to St. Louis for a second time after a successful one-week run earlier this year. Disenchanted is the perfect girls' night out! For more information, visit www.disenchantedmusical.com.

"Menopause the Musical" January 4-March 31, 2018
Menopause The Musical is a groundbreaking celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived "The Change." Now celebrating 14 years of female empowerment through hilarious musical comedy, Menopause The Musical has evolved as a grassroots movement of women who deal with life adjustments after 40 by embracing each other and the road ahead. Set in a department store, four women meet while shopping for a black lace bra at a lingerie sale. After noticing unmistakable similarities among one another, the cast jokes about their woeful hot flashes, mood swings, wrinkles, weight gain and much more.

Patsy Cline defined the term "crossover hit" by dominating country, blues, pop and gospel charts simultaneously in the 1950s and early '60s. Featuring 21 of Patsy's greatest hits including "Walkin' After Midnight," "Sweet Dreams," "I Fall to Pieces," "Crazy," "She's Got You," "Seven Lonely Days" and the title song, "A Closer Walk with Thee."

"Judy Garland: Come Rain or Come Shine"

The best Judy Garland Chicago ever saw. Barring the real one." Chicago Sun-Times exclaims, "Phenomenal. Angela Ingersoll was born to play Judy Garland. Ingersoll's tour de force performance might well leave you believing you've encountered the ghost of the beloved film star." Award-winning dynamo Angela Ingersoll (End of the Rainbow) superbly captures the emotional and vocal power of Judy Garland live in concert. With her great big voice and naturally winning humor, Ingersoll soars in this loving homage. Iconic songs include "Over the Rainbow," "Get Happy," and "The Man That Got Away."
