Set in New York City at the turn of the century and based on a true story, Disney's Newsies follows the exhilarating tale of Jack Kelly, the leader of a group of teenage newsboys who has dreams that far exceed those of the hardships of the streets.

The Rockin' West End Series includes In the Heights and Nunsense the Mega-Musical at the Gargaro Theater.

In the Heights takes place January 24 - February 3, 2019.

The hope of a winning lottery ticket hangs in the air of the streets in Manhattan, leaving the community on the brink of change. Experience the thrill of In the Heights, from the creator of HAMILTON, as the characters chase the American dream in hip-hop, pop, and Latin rhythms filled with the vibrant energy of the ever-bustling streets of Manhattan!

Nunsense the Mega Musical takes place March 21 - 31, 2019.

All the fun of the original Nunsense has been super-sized! Starring the original five nuns and featuring five new male and female characters, a new song, "One Last Hope," and two expanded dance numbers, Nunsense The Mega Musical has been called "A hail of fun and frolic" by The New York Times.

The PMT After Hours series will present Hedwig and the Angry Inch, November 9 - 17, 2018.

This genre-bending, fourth-wall-smashing musical sensation, with a pulsing score and electrifying performances, tells the story of one of the most unique characters to ever hit the stage. Hedwig centers on an East German transsexual, "a slip of a girlyboy," who moves to America after a botched sex change operation. By the end, our heroine embraces the fullness of her identity in one of the most electrifying scenes.
