Into The Woods takes everyone's favourite storybook characters and brings them together in a timeless, multi-award-winning musical. The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

Cabaret is a Tony Award winning musical set in the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy nightclub in Berlin, Germany at the end of the 1920s. In the midst of a post-World War I economic depression, and the Third Reich emerging into power, Cliff, an American writer, has just arrived in Berlin. Cliff is immediately taken with the vivacious cabaret performer, Sally Bowles, the tawdry charm of the Kit Kat Klub, and its omniscient host, the Emcee, who invites guests to leave their troubles outside. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, the proprietor of Cliff and Sally's boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with a mild-mannered Jewish fruit seller, Herr Schultz.

Sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Frank-N-Furter eventually unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky," and chaos ensues. Complete with audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock ’n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is one you wont want to miss!
