About the Show
Featuring a wickedly tuneful score by the Tony Award-nominated team of Pasek and Paul (Dogfight and A Christmas Story the Musical) and a curiously quirky book by Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley), critics rave: James and the Giant Peach is a "masterpeach!" When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.

About the Show
One of William Shakespeare's towering achievements, King Lear is a work of exceptional mastery, a stark tale that is both intimate and vast. An old and vain king unwisely divides his kingdom between his two fawning older daughters and banishes his third daughter, who truly loves him but speaks more modestly. Thus begins Shakespeare's heart-rending play - a work that questions the passing of power between generations, loyalty to an unyielding kind, and the concept of a harmonious and just universe. The king and his followers, ennobled by suffering, pay dearly for their lapses in judgment. Madness and murder are the consequences of insights and mercy that arrive too late, making King Lear a sweeping tragedy of vanity, evil, and anguish.
