The curtain rises on the new season of shows November 5-10, 2013, with MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET. This smash-hit musical was inspired by the true story of the famed recording session that brought together rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. On December 4, 1956, these four young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions of all time. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life, featuring a score of rock 'n' roll hits including, "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "That's All Right," "Great Balls of Fire," "Walk the Line, "Hound Dog" and more.

"MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET has proven to be one of those rarities -- a show that's an even bigger hit on the road than in New York. This rockin' musical not only entertains -- it tells a great story about the earliest days of rock'n'roll," Theater League President, Mark Edelman said.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY takes the stage on December 3-8, 2013. Based upon the 1960s TV series of the same name, THE ADDAMS FAMILY has been resurrected in this new Broadway show that everyone is dying to see. This magnificently macabre musical comedy was created by the authors of Jersey Boys, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. The show focuses on Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, who has fallen for a "normal" boy, much to the horror of her parents, Gomez and Morticia. The resulting story is delightful fun for everyone.

The third offering at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza is the theatrical event MAMMA MIA!, January 14-19, 2014. Five time Tony Awards nominee,MAMMA MIA! is the ultimate feel-good show. Writer Catherine Johnson's sunny, funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years before. The story-telling magic of ABBA's songs which weave a tale of love, laughter and friendship, and every night everyone's having the time of their lives! With more productions playing internationally than any other musical, MAMMA MIA! is the world's number one show.

On March 11-16, 2014, the 2013-14 season comes to a dramatic close with the much-lauded revival of WEST SIDE STORY. From the first notes to the final breath, WEST SIDE STORY is one of the greatest love stories and one of the most memorable musicals of all time. Arthur Laurents' book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. With music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, the richly conceived music of "Tonight," "America," "Maria," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere" combine to create a score that is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. Jerome Robbin's extraordinary Tony Award-winning choreography completes the masterpiece and forever changed the language of Broadway dance.
