2012 Season

Based on the poetry of T.S. Elliot, Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash hit transports audiences into the fantastic, spellbinding realm of the Jellical Cats. Set on the evening of the Jellical Ball, the Jellicals compete for rebirth into a better life by showcasing their talents and good deeds. Webber's magical score includes legendary favorites including “Jellical Songs for Jellical Cats,” “Mr. Mistoffelees” and the haunting “Memory.” The second longest-running production in Broadway history, this ten-time Tony Award Winner influenced a generation of musicals and continues to amaze audiences worldwide.

This light-hearted romance from the golden age of Broadway has been called “the perfect musical” by the New York Times. The story follows London grammarian Professor Henry Higgins who wagers that he can elevate a poor, Cockney-speaking flower seller named Eliza Doolittle into upper-class Victorian society. As Higgins succeeds, Eliza becomes wise to his plot and their love is put to the test. This Tony Award Winner for Best Musical helped launch the career of Dame Judy Andrews and features songs by the legendary team of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe including “Wouldn't It Be Loverly,” “Get Me to The Church on Time” and “I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face.”

What happens in Vegas… all started with The Rat Pack. Direct from Las Vegas, this spectacular show recreates one of the famous “Summit at the Sands” nights when the swingin’, ring-a-ding group known as “The Rat Pack” was creating hipster legend with a free-wheeling, no-holds-barred nightclub act starring Vegas’ four favorite sons: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin and Joey Bishop. THE RAT PACK IS BACK features uncanny vocal recreations, unbridled humor, and is backed by “The Black Tie Affair,” a smoking hot, 12 piece orchestra that sends audiences straight back to the coolest time in history. Hits include “That’s Amore,” “My Way,” “Mr. Bojangles,” Fly me to the Moon,” My Kind of Town," "New York, New York,"and many more. See why The Las Vegas Sun writes, “This is as close as anyone has come to capturing the feeling of the real thing,” and the Chicago Tribune raves, “Classic comic material. Excellent!”
