A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE & MURDER |
September 13–25, 2016
Getting away with murder can be so much fun… and there’s no
better proof than the knock-‘em-dead hit show that’s earned unanimous raves and
won the 2014 Tony Award® for Best Musical—A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE
& MURDER! As one most gentlemanly NPR critic put it, “I’ve never
laughed so hard at a Broadway musical!” GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE tells
the story of Monty, an heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line
of succession by - you guessed it - eliminating the eight relatives (all played
by one fearless man) who stand in his way. All the while, Monty has to juggle
his mistress, his fiancée and the constant threat of landing behind bars! Of
course, it will all be worth it if he can slay his way to his inheritance… and
be done in time for tea. The Hollywood Reporter raves, “GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE restores
our faith in musical comedy.”
FUN HOME | November 15–27, 2016
It is with tremendous pride that we bring Fox Theatricals’
Tony Award®-winning production of FUN HOME to the Fabulous
Fox. Every once in a while a Broadway musical comes along that surprises, moves
and excites audiences in ways only a truly landmark musical can. The
“groundbreaking,” “life-affirming” and “exquisite” new musical FUN HOME was
the event of the 2015 Broadway season, receiving rave reviews from critics and
audiences alike, winning five 2015 Tony Awards including Best Musical and
making history along the way. Based on Alison Bechdel’s best-selling
graphic memoir, FUN HOME introduces us to Alison at three
different ages as she explores and unravels the many mysteries of her
childhood. A refreshingly honest musical about seeing your parents through
grown-up eyes, “FUN HOME is extraordinary, a rare beauty that pumps
fresh air into Broadway!” (The New York Times).
FINDING NEVERLAND | December
6–18, 2016
Broadway’s biggest new hit and the winner of Broadway.com’s
Audience Choice Award for Best Musical, this breathtaking smash “captures the
kid-at-heart,” says TIME Magazine. Vogue cheers, “It’s a must-see you’ll
remember for years to come!” Directed by visionary Tony®-winner Diane Paulus
and based on the critically-acclaimed Academy Award® winning film starring
Johnny Depp, FINDING NEVERLAND tells the incredible story
behind one of the world’s most beloved characters: Peter Pan. Playwright J.M.
Barrie struggles to find inspiration until he meets four young brothers and
their beautiful widowed mother. Spellbound by the boys’ enchanting make-believe
adventures, he sets out to write a play that will astound London theatergoers.
With a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes this
monumental leap, leaving his old world behind for Neverland, where nothing is
impossible and the wonder of childhood lasts forever. The magic of Barrie’s
classic tale springs spectacularly to life in this heartwarming theatrical
event. FINDING NEVERLAND is “far and away the best musical of
the year!” (NPR).

Award®-winner Christopher Wheeldon brings the magic and romance of Paris into
perfect harmony with unforgettable songs from George and Ira Gershwin in the
show that earned more awards than any other musical in the 2015 season! The New
York Times raves, “AN AMERICAN IN PARIS is a triumph! Pure joy!”

to settle for less ever again.” Don’t miss this stunning Broadway hit when it
arrives in St. Louis on its first national tour!

hit play. When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of
theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick
and Nigel set out to write the world’s very firstMusical. With
its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, SOMETHING ROTTEN! is
