RODGER & HAMMERSTEIN’S CINDERELLA
Lesley Ann Warren plays the title role in this television production of the classic Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein III musical. Young Cinderella longs to go to the royal ball and dance with the Prince—but it will take a magical miracle to make it happen.
HOLIDAY INN
Jim leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut, but life isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance. Jim’s luck takes a spectacular turn when he meets Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare. Together they turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday, from Thanksgiving to Easter.
AN AMERICAN IN PARIS
This breathtakingly beautiful Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical, inspired by the Oscar® winning MGM film, tells the vibrant story of discovering love in the City of Light. Featuring the gorgeous music and lyrics of George and Ira Gershwin (including the classic hits “’S Wonderful” and “I Got Rhythm”), stunning designs, and show-stopping choreography.
FOREVER PLAID
You’ll enjoy this affectionate musical homage to the close-harmony guy groups that reached the height of their popularity during the 1950s. This quartet of high-school chums, and their earnest dreams of recording an album, ended (symbolically, and even literally). Sadly, it ends in death when their cherry red ’54 Mercury collided with a bus filled with Catholic schoolgirls on their way to see the Beatles’ U.S. debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. The girls were fine.
RODGER & HAMMERSTEIN’S CAROUSEL
The classic American features some of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most iconic pieces, including “If I Loved You,” “Mister Snow,” “June is Bustin Out All Over,” and the iconic “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” This is a dazzling adaptation featuring all-star performances from Kelli O’Hara, Nathan Gunn, and others.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC
The beloved family classic comes alive once again! The world’s most popular musical, The Sound of Music, comes brilliantly to life in this ambitious, live-broadcast production. The spectacular Kara Tointon delivers a mesmerizing performance as Maria, the tomboyish nun who reluctantly becomes the governess for seven children living in the shadow of their stern widower father (Julian Ovenden).
GODSPELL
Prepare the way of Godspell in concert! Theatrical legends come together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Godspell in an exciting online concert experience. Ruthie Henshall and Darren Day return to reprise their roles and are joined by Sam Tutty, Ria Jones, and Jenna Russell.
BYE BYE BIRDIE
Relive the musical magic of Bye, Bye Birdie, one of America’s best-loved musicals. In this tuneful parody of Elvis Presley, Conrad Birdie is a wildly popular ’50s rock-n-roll star. Conrad’s manager, Albert (Jason Alexander), and his devoted secretary, Rosie (Vanessa Williams), arrange for Conrad to make a dramatic final appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, on the eve of his joining the Army.
SHE LOVES ME
With an incredible cast led by Zachary Levi, Laura Benanti, and Jane Krakowski, She Loves Me follows Amalia and Georg, two parfumerie clerks who aren’t quite the best friends. Constantly bumping heads while on the job, the sparring co-workers can’t seem to find common ground. But little do they know the anonymous pen pals they have both been falling for happen to be each other! Will love blossom once their identities are finally revealed?
