Exec. Producer Kate Pazakis has assembled another Ri-Dic-U-lously talented troupe of singer/comedians to totally WOW their Rockwell audience in THE UNAUTHORIZED MUSICAL PARODY OF TROOP BEVERLY HILLS.

It's a holiday classic, and it just got a whole lot more Broadway. Rockwell: Table and Stage just presented The Unauthorized Musical Parody of Home Alone, featuring Broadway favorite Marla Mindelle, Caitlin Gallogly, John Pinto Jr. Alex Mohajer, Spencer Strong Smith, Misha Reeves and more!
