“We’re all in this together!” Disney Channel's musical phenomenon comes to life on stage! It’s the first day after winter break at East High and the Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes all find their cliques. Basketball team captain, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. The couple causes an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical. Although many students resent the threat posed to the "status quo," Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well.

Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old story of how an orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). A boy and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, containing a precious cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training, who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.

And All That... Broadway celebrates the golden age of the Broadway musical as we take on vaudeville in the 1920s with Kander & Ebb's Chicago, a sensational tribute to the music of the 1960's with the songbook favourite, Beehive — The 60's Musical, follow a floating crapes game with Guys & Dolls Jr., and get pulled into the action (literally!) with this send up of the Golden Age of Broadway with Lucky, Lucky Hudson and the 12th Street Gang.
Chicago - The Musical
MAY 3 - MAY 7
And all that jazz! Fred Ebb and John Kander's musical masterpiece hits the stage. Murder, misfortune and all that jazz await in Chicago. Set in the roaring twenties, Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap... until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess" Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune and acquittal. If you liked the Academy Award®-winning film, you'll love this live production re-imagined for the Original Kids stage.

Guys & Dolls Jr.
MAY 18 - MAY 21
“Call it sad, call it funny. / But it's better than even money. / That the guy's only doing it for some doll.” The legendary, multi-award-winning, musical comedy classic about rolling the dice and falling in love under the lights of Broadway, Frank Loesser's brassy, immortal score and witty book makes Guys and Dolls Jr. a crowd pleaser. In New York City, gambler Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest crap game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; much to the chagrin of his long suffering fiancee Adelaide. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown. Guys and Dolls Jr. takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, but everyone eventually ends up right where they belong.

Lucky, Lucky Hudson and the 12th Street Gang
MAY 25- MAY 28
This hilarious send-off of the Golden Age of Broadway is a nonstop-laugh parody of lovable cliché racketeers: Big Al, Little Al, Ma Cribbs, Mad Dog Myrtle, Two Gun Tommy, Petty-larceny Jane and many more. Chicago jazz, ragtime, blues and a bouncy comedy chorus are interwoven throughout the lively, suspenseful story line. Through a clever plot twist, Steve Jenkins, the writer, gets pulled into his own story. Lucky Hudson, his crime busting hero, puts him right into the comic underworld of nightclubs and back alleys, where Steve is tricked into prison for a crime he never committed. Eight great songs including: "Lucky, Lucky Hudson," "A Wild Imagination," "Welcome to the Paradise Club," "It’s a Jungle Out There," and "The Juice”.
