It continues with Billy Elliot The Musical (December 1 - 20), the electrifying Broadway blockbuster that follows the life of Billy, the youngest child of a blue-collar family who discovers his extraordinary gift for ballet. Next up is The Will Rogers Follies (January 12 - 31), a Tony Award-winning musical extravaganza that celebrates the beloved American entertainer Will Rogers. Then Frost/Nixon (February 7 - 21), Peter Morgan's fast-paced, riveting drama that illuminates one of the most monumental political interviews of all time.

Currently celebrating its 12th Season, the Theatre was recently nominated for 14 Carbonell Awards, South Florida's highest honor for artistic excellence.
