Set in 1905 in Tsarist Russia, the tale of a poor milkman and his family struggling to come to terms with the changing traditions of a new world has inspired generations. Tevya and his wife Golde want to provide security and happiness for their children, but as their oldest daughters Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava seek to carve out futures for themselves in a new century full of challenges and new traditions, these wise parents must search for a way to remain a family even as the old ways change. Full of well-loved songs such as “Tradition,” “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” “If I Were a Rich Man” and “Sunrise, Sunset,” Fiddler On The Roof is a story of enduring love and the triumph of the spirit.

The seedy, after-hours underworld of New York City in the 1940s is the setting for this story of gamblers and their girls and the “mission doll” who changes everything. Nathan Detroit, desperate to find funds to pay for a spot for his floating crap game, bets big-time gambler Sky Masterson that he can’t take the first girl he sees to Havana. Sky takes him up on the bet and begins wooing the girl: straight-laced Sarah Brown of the Save-a-Soul Mission. Bursting with the classic hit songs “Luck Be a Lady,” “If I Were a Bell,” “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat” and “Guys and Dolls,” this romp through Runyonland will keep every foot tapping.

This dark comedy of love, lust and a man-eating plant has entertained audiences and served as a cautionary tale for would-be botanists everywhere. Shy Seymour works at Mushnik’s Skid Row Florists and secretly loves his fellow shop assistant, Audrey, whom he would like to save from the clutches of the evil dentist Orin. When an exotic plant arrives at the shop, Seymour cares for it and gains fame as the strange plant—named Audrey II—attracts the attention of horticulturists everywhere. Unfortunately, Audrey II exacts a hefty price for assisting Seymour in his romantic endeavors. The quirky tunes in this macabre tale include “Little Shop of Horrors,” “Somewhere That’s Green” and “Suddenly Seymour.”
