The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family—a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before—keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

With unforgettable songs and a deeply moving story, If/Then is a fascinating, ambitious and original new musical. If/Then simultaneously follows one woman’s two possible life paths, painting a deeply moving portrait of the lives that we lead, as well as the lives that we might have led.
Elizabeth, a city planner, moves back to New York to restart her life in the city of infinite possibilities. When her carefully designed plans collide with the whims of fate, Elizabeth’s life splits into two parallel paths. If/Then follows both stories simultaneously, as this modern woman faces the intersection of choice and chance.
If/Then is a contemporary Broadway musical about living in New York today and all of the possibilities of tomorrow. With a powerhouse role for a leading lady and rich and complex supporting roles, this show celebrates dynamite talent and the power of great storytelling.

Allan Felix has a thing for Humphrey Bogart. What he doesn’t have is “Bogey’s” way with women. Bookish, insecure, and recently separated, Allan turns to his friends, and his number one leading man, to help him get back to the dating game. Despite his best efforts to channel Bogart’s “cool, calm and collected” suave, Allan’s awkward, neurotic, disheveled nature leads him to a string of hilarious encounters as he tries to work his charm on a bevy of beautiful dames. In the end what works, and on whom, surprises everyone, and proves that there may be more to finding love than just being Bogey.

Xanadu the musical is a spin on (aka spoof of) the 1980s cult classic film of the same name. In the musical, a Greek muse, Clio, descends from Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California in the 1980s to divinely inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, through the creation of a roller disco. But when Clio, disguised as an Australian roller girl named Kira, falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, she risks eternal banishment to the netherworld.
Tickets: $15; available at Western Connections and at the door.
