ThE EnD OF ThE WORLD AS WE KnOW IT CABARETChristine Ebersole has captivated audiences on the Broadway stage, in television, film, and concert appearances. The End Of The World As We Know It Cabaret premiered this year at the Café Carlyle and received love letters from the critics! Ms. Ebersole’s most sensational cabaret show yet, she combines heartfelt family stories with a dash of political satire and an eclectic song list that includes “Another Winter in a Summer Town” from her Tony Award-winning performance in Grey Gardens, as well as a fast and brassy “Strike Up the Band,” a hilarious rendition of Noel Coward’s tongue-twisting “What’s Going to Happen to the Tots?,” thrilling turns at “Blow, Gabriel, Blow,” and “Johnny One Note,” and an exceptionally stunning “I Loves You, Porgy.”

Ms. Ebersole won two Tony Awards for Outstanding Actress in the roles of Edie Beale in the acclaimed Broadway musical Grey Gardens and Dorothy Brock in the revival of 42nd

Street. She has received virtually every Off-Broadway award, has made concert appearances at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Boston’s Symphony Hall, and has released four CDs. This fall, Christine co-stars in TBS’ new comedy series “Sullivan & Son” as well as her recurring role in USA’s hit show “Royal Pains.”

FEATURInG ThE STARS OF BROADWAY’S JERSEY BOYSHear some of the greatest doo wop hits of our time by the “boys” who live it every night on Broadway. The Doo Wop Project is a homage to classic doo wop and the music that was inspired by that sound. Featuring songs by Randy & The Rainbows (“Denise”), Thurston Harris (“Little Bitty Pretty One”), The Skyliners (“Since I Don’t Have You”), The Capris (“Morse Code of Love”) and more, this roof-raising concert also will include doo wop spins on some classic contemporary songs. The boys will mix it up with personal stories about life in the business, particularly backstage at The August Wilson Theatre, home of Jersey Boys, where the idea for the Project was born.

RIOULT|$25

In an evening of RIOULT’s most celebrated, highly theatrical, and visually stunning dances, the company will perform works set to four distinctly different classical compositions.

Celestial Tides, set to Bach’s “Brandenburg Concerto No. 6” exemplifies RIOULT’s classic modern background with its sleek, athletic, and technically stunning movement. Like the universe, in perpetual motion yet balanced, the dancers create a mesmerizing and mysterious balance as they move in time and space.

In City, set to Bach’s “Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord No. 6 in G Major,” projections of a city progressively deconstruct and distort as the human drama unfolds on stage.

Les Noces, set to Stravinsky’s composition of the same name, revisits the concept of the marriage ritual with provocative movement and unabashed energy—this wedding will leave you breathless!

The evening concludes on a thrilling note with RIOULT’s bold and unexpected interpretation of Ravel’s famous musical score, Bolero. A perennial sensation among audiences and critics alike, perpetual motion and ever-changing patterns follow the composer’s lead in an unrelenting crescendo of energy. Bolero is a riveting tour de force that speaks to the essence of the music.

“he has met the

challenge of comparison

with George Balanchine.”

—Time Out new York

“Pascal Rioult, before

all, is one of the leaders

… his style blends an

acute sense of classical

structure with a profound

musical sensibility.”

—Le Temps, France

“Perhaps the most

adept and courageous

choreographer in

mainstream modern

dance today.”

RIOULT is a new York City-based modern dance company whose world-wide appearances include City Center, Lincoln Center, the Bermuda Festival, Cannes International Festival, the Paris Opera Bastille, and beyond.

Full-length Ballet in Four Acts

A full-scale production set to the music of Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake is a romantic tale of true love and forgiveness taken from Russian folklore and German legend. This enchanting story follows a heroic young prince as he labors to free the beautiful swan maiden from an evil sorcerer’s spell.

Filled with colorful costumes and backed by a sweeping score, Swan Lake is considered one of the greatest classical ballets of all time.

The Moscow Festival Ballet was founded in 1989 when the legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet, Sergei Radchenko, sought to realize his vision of an independent company that would bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies within the framework of Russian classical ballet. The Moscow Festival Ballet features 50 leading dancers from across Russia, along with stars of the Bolshoi and Kirov Ballets.

Godlight Theatre Company’s World Premiere ProductionOne Flew Over The Cuckoo’s nest|$20

Godlight Theatre Company presents the acclaimed adaptation of the iconic 20th century novel and basis for the Academy Award-winning film

A wickedly funny parable set in a mental ward, the play chronicles the head-on collision between its hell-raising, life-affirming hero Randle Patrick McMurphy and the totalitarian rule of Nurse Ratched. McMurphy swaggers into the mental ward and turns the place upside down, starting a gambling operation, smuggling in wine and women, and egging on the other patients to join him in open rebellion. But McMurphy’s revolution against Nurse Ratched and everything she stands for

quickly turns from sport to a fierce power struggle with shattering results.

Godlight Theatre Company won the Special Drama Desk Award for “consistent originality and excellence in dramatizing modern literature, and especially for the vibrant theatricality of its innovative productions.” The company has won national and international awards for its adaptations of Slaughterhouse-Five, Fahrenheit 451, A Clockwork Orange, and Blindness.

Alan Safier as George Burns in Say Goodnight Gracie|$20

Alan Safier stars in the hit Broadway play that invites you to spend a hilarious, heart-warming evening in the uplifting company of one of the world’s most beloved entertainers, George Burns. With vintage photographs and video clips from film and television performances, Say Goodnight Gracie brings George Burns’ fascinating story to life.

In Say Goodnight Gracie, we discover George stuck in limbo between this world and the next, until he gives the command performance of his lifetime for God. And so he does, looking back upon his impoverished, plucky youth on the Lower East Side of New York, his disastrous career in vaudeville, the momentous day when he met a fabulously talented young Irish girl named Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie Allen, and their rise to the pinnacles of vaudeville, movies, radio, and television.

From Teatro alla Scala. Love, wealth, and mortality collide in this lavish production by Liliana Cavani where Angela Gheorghiu makes her celebrated debut as Violetta.

Sung in Italian.

From Teatro Regio di Torino. Modest Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov is considered the most important Russian opera ever written. Mussorgsky rejected Western conventions in classical music, instead forging a uniquely Russian style that gives Boris Godunov its arresting and unforgettable sound. Starring Orlin Anastassov as the titular Czar of Russia, Ian Storey as the Pretender to the Throne, and Peter Bronder as Prince Shuysky, with Gianandrea Noseda at the podium. Sung in Russian.

Unpredictable thrills, side-splitting comedy, and daredevil stunts are the signature style of Circo Comedia, starring the fantastic duo Jean Saucier and Patrick Cotè from Montreal. Following in the tradition of the Quebec Circus, master equilibrist, juggler, trick cyclist, acrobat, and magician Jean Saucier performs his feats from dizzying heights while Patrick Cotè, burlesque clown, expert roller skater, and drummer, innocently tries his best to be the (imperfect) assistant. This show is deliriously funny and overflowing with unforgettable moments!

An all new show that has everything! Funny vignettes, unforgettable songs, jokes, dances, inventive paper bag sets, and endless opportunities for the audience to be involved in the fun!

In “Howdy Partner,” join Ted, Kevin, Amy, John, and Laura at a rip-roaring, hand-clapping Western hoedown and, in “Don’t Wake The Baby,” it’s up to you to make sure that the baby keeps sleeping (Uh-oh, here comes a brass band, a jackhammer, a fire engine – Shhhhhh!). In a kick-up-your-heels finale, you not only join The Bags in dancing, but actually get to choose the steps that everyone will dance! Saddles and Sunshine captures that special theatrical magic that has made The Paper Bag Players a family favorite for 54 years!

Meet the cast in the lobby after the show!

Mouse can scare hungry animals away with tall stories of the terrifying Gruffalo, but what happens when he comes face to face with the very creature he imagined? Join Mouse on an adventurous journey through the deep, dark wood in this magical, musical adaptation of the multi award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

Following the international success of Room on the Broom and Twinkle Twonkle, Tall Stories Theatre Company of London returns to the United States with this beloved story that showcases their distinctive physical and visual performance style. The Gruffalo is full of songs, laughs, and scary fun. Let your imagination run wild!
