Happy first preview, “The Queen of Versailles”! 💖 Tony Award® winner Kristin Chenoweth stars in this new musical exploring the true cost of fame, fortune, and family. From computer engineer to Mrs. Florida to billionairess, Jackie Siegel sees herself as the embodiment of the American Dream. Now, as the wife of David “The Timeshare King” Siegel and mother of their eight children, she invites us to behold their most grandiose venture yet: building the largest private home in America — a $100 million house in Orlando, Florida, big enough for her dreams and inspired by the Palace of Versailles. ”The Queen of Versailles” - St. James Theatre Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz Book by Lindsey Ferrentino Directed by Michael Arden Choreographed by Lauren Yalango-Grant and Christopher Cree Grant

Happy first preview, “Liberation”! 🧡 1970s, Ohio. Lizzie gathers a group of women to talk about changing their lives, and the world. What follows is a necessary, messy, and bitingly funny exploration of what it means to be free, and to be a woman. In Liberation, Lizzie’s daughter steps into her mother’s memory—into the unfinished revolution she once helped ignite—and searches the past to find the answer for herself. Bess Wohl presents a refreshingly irreverent and intensely relevant powerhouse of a play about what we inherit, what we forget, and what we’re still fighting to understand. ”Liberation” - James Earl Jones Theatre Written by Bess Wohl Directed by Whitney White

Broadway, Broadway, Broadway! Welcome back, “Beetlejuice”! The ghost-with-the-most returns to Broadway in this musical comedy based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film. “Beetlejuice” tells the story of a strange and unusual teenager who feels invisible and a spirited demon who is invisible. And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O! ”Beetlejuice” - Palace Theatre Book by Scott Brown and Anthony King Music and lyrics by Eddie Perfect Directed by Alex Timbers Choreographed by Connor Gallagher

Happy first preview, “Little Bear Ridge Road”! On the remote outskirts of a small Idaho town, a razor-tongued aunt and her long-estranged nephew find themselves suddenly back in each other’s orbit—two lonely souls with a crumbling house to sell and a tangled history to unravel. Bitingly funny and quietly explosive, Samuel D. Hunter’s “Little Bear Ridge Road” is a sharply etched portrait of two people reaching across emotional galaxies—searching for meaning and fumbling toward connection, even as they fear it might swallow them whole. Starring Laurie Metcalf and Micah Stock. “Little Bear Ridge Road” - Booth Theatre Written by Samuel D. Hunter Directed by Joe Mantello
