More than fifty years ago, one show changed musical theater forever. Now it’s back on stage, making history once again here in Orlando. 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, and is part of our Get Rockin’ package. Directed by Tony Award® winner Arthur Laurents, it remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. WEST SIDE STORY will sweep Orlando off its feet February 1 – 6, 2011.

So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. WICKED, part of the Get Wicked package, is the story of two girls meeting in the land of Oz, long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland.  One – born with emerald green skin – is smart, fiery and misunderstood.  The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular.  How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for “the most complete and completely satisfying new musical in a long time” (USA Today). On Broadway and around the world, WICKED has worked its magic on critics and audiences alike. Winner of 26 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, WICKED is “Broadway’s biggest blockbuster” (The New York Times). WICKED returns to Orlando February 23 – March 27, 2011.

SHREK THE MUSICAL, based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks film that started it all and part of the Get Wicked package, brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to life on the stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre – not a handsome prince – shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a bad guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand… and his name is Shrek. Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, WWOR-TV proclaims SHREK THE MUSICAL, “Far, Far and away the funniest new musical on Broadway!” SHREK THE MUSICAL is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone! SHREK THE MUSICAL will give the Orlando stage a make-ogre May 17 – 22, 2011.

The most electric celebration on Broadway is HAIR, the Public Theater’s new Tony-winning production! This exuberant musical, part of the Get Rockin’ package, is about a group of young Americans searching for peace and love in a turbulent time has struck a resonant chord with audiences young and old. HAIR features dozens of unforgettable songs, including “Aquarius,” “Let the Sun Shine In,” “Good Morning, Starshine” and “Easy To Be Hard.” Its relevance is undeniable. Its energy is unbridled. Its truth is unwavering. It’s HAIR, and it’s time. HAIR will awaken Orlando June 21 – 26, 2011.
