Here’s a list of the show dates and descriptions:
“Dear Evan Hansen” - Oct. 29–30, 2024: The show follows Evan Hansen, a high school student who always feels like he’s on the outside looking in. He writes a secret letter to himself that wasn’t meant to be seen and ends up being caught in a lie, but it also gives him a chance at something many people want, to fit in.
“Annie” - Jan. 28–29, 2025: The musical is set during the Great Depression in 1933 and it follows Annie, an orphan living in New York City. She believes her parents are still out there and yearns to find them. To improve his public image, billionaire Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks, invites her to live in his home. While Annie gets used to living in the mansion, the two end up forming an unexpected bond. Since 1982, the show has reminded the audience about holding on to hope, where the “sun will come out tomorrow.” It also celebrates how you can still find family and happiness with a “hard knock life.”
“Come From Away” - March 4–5, 2025: The show is based on a true story of 7,000 stranded passengers in the small town of Newfoundland. Cultures clash and nerves are high, but it turns into trust and enduring friendships.
“Pretty Woman: The Musical” - April 15–16, 2025: The musical is based off the beloved romantic comedy released in 1990. It also features Roy Orbison and Bill Dee’s international smash hit song “Oh, Pretty Woman,” which inspired the movie.
