Considered by many to be one of the best musicals of all time, Man of La Mancha is brilliantly reimagined by celebrated director Peter Rothstein, who immerses us in Miguel de Cervantes’s retelling of Don Quixote and his quest.
This epic and poignant journey celebrates the perseverance of one man who refuses to relinquish his ideals and who is determined to see life not as it is, but as it ought to be.

Based on a story in The Weekly World News, this musical horror spoof about a half-boy/half-bat creature has had audiences rolling in the aisles since its critically-acclaimed Off-Broadway premiere. Rescued from a cave and taken in by the empathetic wife of the local veterinarian, “Edgar” quickly learns to speak and act in civilized ways – even falling in love with his mentor’s daughter. Danger looms, however, as we learn a deep, dark secret.
Fast-paced and hilarious, this off-kilter satire offers clever musical numbers, a hilarious plot, surprising twists, and a lesson in the agony of being different and accepting your inner beast!
