THE WIZARD OF OZ

October 28 - November 2, 2008

There is no place like home as the wonderful THE WIZARD OF OZ twists its Miami. The entire family will travel down the Yellow Brick Road and beyond with Dorothy, Toto and their friends in this lavish production featuring  special effects, fine choreography and classic songs. A celebration of the iconic 1939 MGM film starring Judy Garland, THE WIZARD OF OZ sounds fetching and done with well thought out stage craft.  The tornado touches down and transports us to an art deco Oz, complete with munchkins and flying monkeys.

ANNIE

December 2 - 7, 2008

Leapin' lizards! ANNIE is coming, again. The timeless tale of Little Orphan Annie is back, giving a whole new generation the chance to experience this musical about never giving up hope. Boasting songs, including "It's the HardKnock Life," "Easy Street," "N.Y.C.," and the ever optimistic "Tomorrow." 

CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY

May 12 - 17, 2009

Direct from Broadway, CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY is "The Grandest Circus Spectacle East of Vegas," as hailed by New York Magazine. This exotic encounter inspired by nature's unpredictable creations, are brought to life by an international cast of 25 soaring aerialists, spinebending contortionists, acrobats, jugglers and musicians. The feats performed in this action packed CIRQUE DREAM are enhanced with more than 150 costumes and are set in a fantastical jungle ignited by striking visual effects. From the aerial ballet of butterflies to the balancing giraffes, gigantic flowers and trees, this explosion of athleticism, theater and imagination is designed to exhilarate the entire family. CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY was created and directed for Broadway by South Floridia's own  Neil Goldberg.

CHICAGO

Come on, babe - experience it live and in person. The one, the only CHICAGO. "CHICAGO has no peer on Broadway in matters of wit, style and sheer musical riches," says Charles Isherwood of Variety. It's Broadway's razzle dazzle tale of sin and celebrity.  CHICAGO is the recipient of six Tony ® Awards in 1997, two Olivier Awards, and a Grammy in 1998.
