The music. The legend.

A Night with Janis Joplin is a high-octane musical celebration of one of rock ’n’ roll’s most iconic and influential voices.

Rather than a traditional biography, the show unfolds as an electrifying concert experience, with Janis taking the audience on a journey through the music that inspired her and the songs that made her a legend.

Backed by a powerhouse band and soulful backup singers, the production features unforgettable hits including “Piece of My Heart,” “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Cry Baby,” “Summertime,” and “Mercedes Benz,” capturing the raw emotion, vulnerability, and explosive energy that defined her sound.

Blending storytelling with show-stopping musical numbers, the production pays tribute not only to Janis Joplin, but also to the blues and soul artists who influenced her, including Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Bessie Smith, and Nina Simone. The result is a thrilling, immersive theatrical concert that brings audiences to their feet and celebrates the passion, rebellion, and heart of a generation-defining artist.

One night. Two couples. Nothing left unsaid.

“A play that jolted the Broadway season to life… its language is whiplash-strong and leaves welts.”—TIME Magazine

Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a gripping, darkly funny portrait of marriage pushed to its limits. On a late night in a New England college town, middle-aged couple George and Martha invite a younger faculty member and his wife over for drinks. What begins as polite small talk spirals into a relentless game of psychological warfare, as secrets surface, illusions shatter, and long-buried resentments erupt. With razor-sharp dialogue and shocking emotional turns, the play stands as one of the most electrifying dramas in the American canon.Premiering on Broadway in 1962, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? became an immediate sensation, earning five Tony Awards, including Best Play. It has been revived multiple times on Broadway to critical acclaim, and its 1966 film adaptation starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton won five Academy Awards, cementing the work’s enduring cultural impact.

Sometimes the heart wants more than life is willing to give.

“Appel’s translations of Chekhov’s masterworks are fresh, insightful, and sit easily in the mouth of the American actor.”—Ray Dooley

Libby Appel’s Seagull offers a fresh, emotionally immediate adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s timeless masterpiece. Set against the quiet beauty of a country estate by the lake, the story follows a circle of artists, dreamers, and romantics whose desires rarely align with reality.

As young writer Konstantin yearns for artistic recognition and the affection of aspiring actress Nina, the arrival of the celebrated actress Arkadina and the successful novelist Trigorin sets off a chain of passion, jealousy, and heartbreak.

Appel’s adaptation honors Chekhov’s delicate balance of humor and melancholy while sharpening the emotional stakes for contemporary audiences. Ambition clashes with insecurity, first love collides with disillusionment, and the search for meaning in art mirrors the search for meaning in life. The result is a deeply human portrait of fragile hopes and enduring longing, where even the smallest gestures carry profound emotional weight.

A lively musical comedy stitched together with heart, humor, and hot choreography.

“A bright, brassy and jubilantly sassy show.”—Classic critic Walter Kerr

Set in a Midwestern pajama factory, The Pajama Game centers on a spirited yet complicated romance between Babe Williams, the head of the Grievance Committee, and Sid Sorokin, the company’s new superintendent. Sparks fly as the workers fight for an hourly raise, putting Babe and Sid on opposite sides of a heated dispute. As tensions rise, so does the chemistry, leading to a witty, heartfelt showdown between love and loyalty.

Packed with energetic dance numbers and unforgettable songs like “Steam Heat,” “Hey There,” and “Hernando’s Hideaway,” the show brims with humor, charm, and mid-century Broadway flair. With its colorful characters, sharp comedic timing, and sizzling choreography by a young Bob Fosse, The Pajama Game delivers a joyful blend of romance, rebellion, and show-stopping spectacle that continues to delight audiences decades after its debut.
