Marcus Center's 2012-13 Season to Include ROCK OF AGES, WICKED and More

The Marcus Center and Broadway Across America invite you to experience Broadway at the Marcus Center throughout 2012-2013. This season will feature the worldwide party musical Rock of Ages; Memphis, the hot new Broadway musical; Broadway's feel-amazing musical comedy smash, Sister Act; high-flying new Broadway musical Catch Me If You Can; and the return of the Broadway's biggest blockbuster, WICKED.

Rock of Ages is a five time 2009 Tony® nominee, an arena-rock love story told through the mind blowing, face-melting hits of JOURNEY, Night Ranger, STYX, REO SPEEDWAGON, PAT BENATAR, TWISTED SISTER, POISON, ASIA, WHITESNAKE and many more.

Memphis is about a radio DJ who wants to change the world and a club singer who is ready for her big break. Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the airwaves -- filled with laughter, soaring emotion and roof-raising rock 'n' roll.

Sister Act tells the story of Deloris Van Cartier, a wannabe diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide her in the last place anyone would think to look-a convent! Under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own.

Catch Me If You Can tells the story of Frank W. Abagnale, Jr., a teenager who runs away from home in search of the glamorous life. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forgEd Checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer - living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. But when Frank's lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, Carl chases Frank to the end...and finds something he never expected.

Back by "Popular" demand. Variety calls WICKED "a cultural phenomenon," and when it last played Milwaukee in 2010, it broke box office records and sold out in record time. Winner of 35 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, WICKED is "Broadway's biggest blockbuster" (The New York Times).

"Audiences are in for a real treat this season," commented Paul Mathews, President and CEO of the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. "This season includes shows for a diverse audience to enjoy along with the return of the blockbuster hit, WICKED."
