This fall, Theater League opens another unforgettable season of shows with the 2013-2014 at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza. The series will include Tony-nominated MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, the new revival of WEST SIDE STORY, the new musical THE ADDAMS FAMILY and everyone's favorite new classic Mamma Mia! Individual tickets start at $34 and are on sale July 28, 2013. Tickets can be purchased at the box of office, online at theaterleague.com, ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

The 2013-2014 Broadway Series at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza kicks off November 5-10 with the Tony Award nominee Broadway musical MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET. This true story draws inspiration from 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 hits including "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "That's All Right," "Great Balls of Fire," "Walk the Line," "Hound Dog" and more. This is no foolin' - these guys are really playin'!

Next, THE ADDAMS FAMILY comes to devilishly delightful life on stage December 3-8. Based on the classic TV series, this magnificently macabre new musical comedy was created by JERSEY BOYS authors Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. The musical focuses on Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, falling in love with a "normal" boy. For parents Gomez and Morticia, this shocking development will turn the Addams house downside up.

This year brings fan-favorite MAMMA MIA! to the stage January 14-19, 2014. More than 45 million people all around the world have fallen in love with the characters, the story and the music that make MAMMA MIA! 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 ago. The story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs propels this enchanting 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 No.1 Show!

The series ends with the critically-acclaimed revival of WEST SIDE STORY March 11-16, 2014. From the first notes to the final breath, WEST SIDE STORY is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents' book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The music by Leonard Bernstein and the lyrics by Stephen Sondheim - a collection of standards that includes "Tonight," "America," "Maria," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere" - is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. And the extraordinary, Tony Award-winning choreography by Jerome Robbins completely changed the language of Broadway dance.
