'He's 50% Lhasa, 30% mini poodle, and 20% Havanese - but I think he's 100% perfect.'

Who do we really want to be?

'It's such a beautiful collaboration to work with artists through all these different mediums- dance, folk music, pop music, opera, poetry....is there anything better than celebrating our earth through art?'

'It showed us a whole new world where you couldn't dare close your eyes for fear you would miss part of the magic that is Aladdin.'

HEDWIG is about East German born Hansel Schmidt who becomes Hedwig Robinson, the rock 'n roll goddess and 'internationally ignored song stylist.' Hedwig tells her story over the course of this rock/cabaret/stand-up comedy show - from a childhood on the other side of the Berlin Wall, to a botched sex-change operation, abandonment, betrayal, and the search for love and wholeness. It is heartbreaking, hilarious, and will make you want to headbang!

'I hope audiences will laugh and maybe cry a little, and leave with something to think about.'

'Anybody who comes to the show, whether they're two or 92, will not be disappointed'

'This season captures the beautiful complexity and comedic potential of the human condition.'

THE HEATH is a play of fierce life and easy laughter and the mysterious power of music and stories to move - and transform - our hearts.

When you are in something this good, with fantastically talented people and a design team like this, you just feel lucky.

THE HEATH brings together the things that I love most: telling incredible stories and making music.

'These are songs that really did shape a generation...and I think people will really connect with the story as well as the songs.'

'I think anyone who loves to laugh, loves to love, and loves a little rock n roll will fall in love with HEDWIG.'

'I guarantee audience members will leave with a smile on their face and a Christmas glow in their heart.'

'Even if you haven't seen HAMILTON, you can still have a wonderful time at our show.'

This play is a Thanksgiving treat.

'VAMPIRE LESBIANS is an exciting roller coaster of a ride following the 2 main characters through the ups and downs of a relationship that spans thousands of years.'

By the end, I shed actual tears of joy.
