SUMMARY:The Band's Visit
DESCRIPTION:“One of the most ravishing musicals you will ever be seduced by. David Yazbek’s simmering score\, which inflects Broadway balladry and character songs with a haunting Middle Eastern accent\, feels as essential as oxygen.” – The New York Times \n“It doesn’t feel live any musical ever. It doesn’t sound like anything else you’ve heard. Perfect is the wrong word for such an unusual musical\, but it will just have to do.” – New York Magazine \nThe critically acclaimed smash-hit Broadway musical The Band’s Visit is the winner of 10 Tony® Awards\, including Best Musical\, making it one of the most Tony-winning musicals in history. It is also a Grammy Award® winner for Best Musical Theater Album. \nIn this joyously offbeat story\, set in a town that’s way off the beaten path\, a band of musicians arrive lost\, out of the blue. Under the spell of the desert sky\, and with beautiful music perfuming the air\, the band brings the town to life in unexpected and tantalizing ways. Even the briefest visit can stay with you forever. \nWith a Tony®- and Grammy®-winning score that seduces your soul and sweeps you off your feet\, and featuring thrillingly talented onstage musicians\, The Band’s Visit rejoices in the way music makes us laugh\, makes us cry\, and\, ultimately\, brings us together. \nThis show\, originally scheduled for November 11-14\, 2021\, is now scheduled for June 16-19\, 2022.

SUMMARY:"If I Forget" by Steven Levenson - POSTPONED to May 11-22\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:From the author of "Dear Evan Hansen\," IF I FORGET is Steven Levenson's latest work. In the final months before 9/11\, liberal Jewish studies professor Michael Fischer has reunited with his two sisters to celebrate their father’s eighty-fifth birthday. Each deeply invested in their own version of family history\, the siblings clash over everything from Michael’s controversial scholarly work to the mounting pressures of caring for an ailing parent. As destructive secrets and long-held resentments bubble to the surface\, the three negotiate—with biting humor and razor-sharp insight—how much of the past they’re willing to sacrifice for a chance at a new beginning. IF I FORGET tells a powerful tale of a family and a culture at odds with itself. \n“ . . . passionate and provoking . . . irritable and animated\, the Fischers come vibrantly alive in [Levenson’s] funny\, bruising\, searching voice . . . IF I FORGET speaks to both the head and the heart.”           The New York TImes
