"My Big Rad 80's Wedding"
Friday, May 8
Mosley Street Melodrama

When a bride and groom accidentally book their bachelorette and bachelor parties at the same Chili’s, what starts as a night of drinks and celebration spirals into a wildly chaotic comedy of love, lies, and lunacy. As an overbearing mother, a drunken father, and two scheming “friends” conspire to tear the couple apart (complete with fake cheating scandals, a mysterious hickey, and a jaw-dropping musical retelling of their whirlwind romance) the wedding hangs by a thread. Packed with outrageous characters, rapid-fire jokes, and absurd twists, this high-energy farce asks: can true love survive when everyone around you is completely unhinged?

Then following intermission, enjoy our Love on the Rocks Revue!

"Dear Evan Hansen"
Friday, May 8
Roxy's Downtown

Featuring a Tony Award-winning book by Steven Levenson (Fosse/Verdon), and a score by Grammy®, Tony®, Emmy® and Academy Award® winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (The Greatest Showman, La La Land, Dogfight, James and the Giant Peach), Dear Evan Hansen is a new classic, with a message that has resonated with audiences around the world: “You Will Be Found.” 

Seventeen-year-old Evan Hansen has felt invisible his entire life. But when a tragedy shocks his community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. As his web of well-intentioned lies begins to unravel, though, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for.
