The 2011-2012 Broadway at The Morris Center Series begins December 2-3, 2011, with Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (tickets go on sale the end of September). Based on the Academy Award®-winning animated feature film, this eye-popping spectacle has won the hearts of more than 35 million people worldwide. This classic musical love story is filled with unforgettable characters, lavish sets and costumes, and dazzling production numbers including "Be Our Guest" and the beloved title song. Experience the romance and enchantment of Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

Next up, Sandy Hackett's RAT PACK SHOW hits the Morris Performing Arts Center stage, January 20-21, 2012. Celebrating 50 years of The Rat Pack, Sandy Hackett's RAT PACK SHOW has been hailed as the next best thing to seeing Frank, Dean and Sammy themselves. The son of Vegas stalwart and world class funnyman Buddy Hackett, Sandy knows his way around a nightclub stage. Practically born into the business, Hackett brings back the best of the Rat Pack with a sparkling show that will entertain as only Vegas can. "The interpretations by the actors capture the stage essences of the Rat Pack members in a way that is eerily supernatural!" says the SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER.

BLAST! takes the stage for a special one-night-only performance on February 14, 2012. This Tony Award® winner is comprised of 35 brass, percussion and visual performers brought together in a unique explosion of music and theatre. Born on athletic fields across the nation, BLAST! is a novel art form evolved from the showmanship of outdoor pageantry. The Boston Globe proclaims, "BLAST! is an exuberant 15-number show that doesn't falter while bridging the categories of classical, blues, jazz, rock n' roll and techno-pop music. Blast! stands, blows, pounds, marches and whirls with panache. It sent a full house into repeated burst of cheering applause."

The third presentation in the 2011-2012 Broadway at The Morris Center Series brings one of Broadway's most enduring classics to the stage. MY FAIR LADY returns February 24-25, 2012, with all of the grandeur and romance that has made the musical one of a handful of Broadway icons. All the great songs-- "I Could Have Danced All Night," "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face," "Get Me to the Church On Time"-- come rushing back in this national touring revival of the brilliant Lerner and Loewe musical.

The 2011-2012 Broadway at The Morris Center Series concludes with the show The New York Times heralds as "one of the most delightful performance pieces ever staged." Blue Man Group takes South Bend by storm April 20-22, 2012, and will thrill audiences with its high-octane theatrical experience. Escape the ordinary and surround yourself in an explosion of comedy, music and technology. If you've never seen Blue Man Group it's a must-see. If you're already a fan, don't miss it.
