Dear Evan Hansen
Following its hugely successful run at Broadway's Music Box Theater, this darkly comic musical is touring across the country once more. The six-time Tony-winning, poignant and thought-provoking production has received rave reviews from critics for its unexpectedly touching portrayal of misunderstood youth, young love, and the search for acceptance, with a score from the composing team behind 2017's Academy Award-winning La-La Land, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul.
The Book of Mormon
With NINE Tony Awards - including Best Musical - a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and leading New York Times critic Ben Brantley himself calling it the "best new musical of the century", The Book of Mormon's 2011 debut was a pop culture moment. Still enjoying concurrent engagements in London's West End and on Broadway, the bad boy of musical theatre remains a top draw, leaving audiences either outraged or in pain from laughing to this day. Now heading out across the country, don't miss your chance to catch this modern classic. Just be prepared for the lewd, the crude, and downright naughty songs and antics along the way...
Pretty Woman
After delighting audiences on Broadway Vivian and Edward are bringing their whirlwind romance on a national tour! Overseen by the movie's director, the late Garry Marshall, this show boasts music from Bryan Adams and direction and choreography from two-time Tony winner Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots). The Vivian we once knew will now be a stronger and more independent heroine for the 21st century!
Dance Alive National Ballet: The Nutcracker
As the season turns and the first snowflakes fall (somewhere in the world), things turn Christmassy very quickly - get into the festive swing of things with this classic and enchanting tale of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince, brought to you by Dance Alive National Ballet. A delight to audience members old and young, it just isn't Christmas without the Nutcracker!
Zakir Hussain
World-renowned virtuoso Zakir Hussain returns to the USA for a series of exciting live performances. A devotee of the tabula, the instrument he has helped bring to prominence both in the West and his native India, expect a resplendent evening transportive of Indian music from this international phenomenon.
Dance Alive Ballet - Romeo and Juliet
Gainesville is in for a Shakespearean treat! The excellent Dance Alive Ballet present a moving production of the timeless tale of doomed lovers, with Tom Pazik's stunning ballet adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Set to a mesmerizing musical score, it's a compelling and sumptuous experience not to be missed!
