The electrifying musical adaptation of Mel Brooks’ monstrously funny film will leave you in stitches. Based on the screenplay by Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks, the hit cult-film-turned-musical tells the story of a serious young doctor who is desperately trying to escape the mad scientist legacy of his family name until circumstances draw him back to the family castle where, with the help of a hunchbacked sidekick named Igor and a leggy lab assistant named Inga, the infamy begins. This faithful adaptation is chock full of hilarity and all the memorable lines that you know and love.

This smash-hit musical is inspired by the 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, the famous four gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. Featuring such songs as “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Walk the Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” and more, this thrilling musical brings you inside the recording studio for one unforgettable music-making night.

The stirring and celebrated Broadway musical about a miscarriage of justice in early 20th-century
Georgia, when a Jewish outsider was wrongly accused of murder, returns to Southern California with its
original Los Angeles Ovation Award-winning cast. A profoundly moving look at a sadly still relevant
story of hatred rooted in the fear of those who are different, playwright Alfred Uhry and composer Jason
Robert Brown brilliantly recreate the triumphs and failures of this historic real life saga.

The final offering of the 3DT season is so big, it’s worthy of such joyful exclamations as Holy cow!, “I can’t believe it!, and “Yabba dabba do!” WE JUST CAN’T SAY WHAT IT IS… AT LEAST NOT YET! But what we can say is that this wildly successful show spent nearly 15 years on Broadway and is as fun and exciting as its storyline, its music and its European setting. For the time being, you’ll just have to sit tight until you’re in the theatre dancing in the aisles.
