Steel Magnolias
February 4 – March 1, 2009
As comforting as a slice of sweet potato pie, Truvy's Louisiana beauty parlor is the favorite gathering place of six very different Southern women who come together to share their secrets and bare their souls, throwing in a little neighborly gossip for good measure. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they weather every event in their lives collectively with grace, determination and perfectly coifed hair. Hailed by The Daily News as "a finely constructed piece of theatre, as resilient, as funny, as moving and as bracing as its marvelous title characters," Robert Harling's enduring comedy is a heartfelt celebration of love, loyalty and the bonds of sisterhood.

Les Miserables
April 22 - May 24, 2009
Epic, grand and uplifting, this international smash-hit may be the most popular musical in the world, packing an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences for more than 22 years. Set in 19th century France, the story follows Jean Valjean, unjustly imprisoned for 19 years and seeking redemption. Even as he turns his life around, adopting the daughter of a prostitute, he finds he is still being relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe the ex-con can change. Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Les Mis is a powerful affirmation of the human spirit enriched by a stunning pop opera score.
Menopause, the Musical
June 9 – July 26, 2009
Four years, forty cities and six countries later, inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, this hilarious musical comedy celebrates the indomitable spirit of women living through “The Change.” The laughs begin when four 40-something strangers, fighting over the same marked-down lingerie at Bloomingdale’s, discover they have more in common than an affinity for black lace. Poking fun at their mood swings, memory loss, chocolate binges and night sweats, they turn Baby Boomer songs like “Puff the Magic Dragon” and “My Guy” into “Puff, my God I’m draggin’ ” and “My Thighs.” No menopausal milestone is off limits for these cheeky ladies. Man or woman, you’ll love this national runaway hit!
