SUMMARY:Tootsie
DESCRIPTION:September 29th 2022\, 7:30 pm\nSeptember 30th 2022\, 8:00 pm\nOctober 1st 2022\, 2:00 pm\nOctober 1st 2022\, 8:00 pm\nOctober 2nd 2022\, 1:00 pm\nOctober 2nd 2022\, 6:30 pm \nLaugh-out-loud love letter to the theater. \nCall it “musical comedy heaven” (Rolling Stone).\nCall it “the most uproarious new musical in years!” (The Hollywood Reporter).\nCall it TOOTSIE! This laugh-out-loud love letter to the theater tells the story of Michael Dorsey\, a talented but difficult actor who struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a lifetime. Featuring a hilarious Tony®-winning book by Robert Horn and an outrageously clever score by 2018 Tony-winner David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit\, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels)\, this New York Times Critic’s Pick is “a joyful delight” (The Washington Post) that’s “so packed with punchlines\, it should be called a jokebox musical!” (Bloomberg). “In these turbulent times\, when the world seems out of balance\, we need a place to let the good times roll\,” raves Rolling Stone. “TOOTSIE is it!”  \nBased on the 1982 smash comedy hit\, Tootsie\, the Musical has been nominated for ten Tony® awards and while capturing the hearts of audiences all over the country. Premiering in Chicago\, four years ago\, this hysterically funny show is sure to make you laugh out loud while falling in love with the incredibly talented cast of characters. The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory could not be more excited to announce the amazing adaptation of the feel-good movie Tootsie\, featuring a male actor\, turned female impostor whose plan gets derailed by a multitude of unexpected turns! Come laugh your heart out and see firsthand why this 1982 smash hit has made a come back as a Broadway success!

SUMMARY:Piff the Magic Dragon and Puddles Pity Party
DESCRIPTION:Piff the Magic Dragon\, accompanied by his sidekick Mr. Piffles\, the world’s only magic performing chihuahua\, has won several Best of Las Vegas awards for his long-running show at the iconic Flamingo Hotel & Casino. He was a viral sensation on Penn & Teller: Fool Us and voted one of Variety’s Top Ten Comics to watch. In 2020\, Piff triumphed over his heroes Jeff Ross\, Natasha Leggero and Judah Friedlander when he was crowned winner of TBS’ Tournament of Laughs. \nPuddles Pity Party\, the sad\, giant clown with the golden voice\, has amassed over 813K YouTube subscribers and performed sold out shows all over the globe including The Kennedy Center in D.C.\, San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts\, London’s Soho Theatre and a residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Deftly combining melancholy with the absurd\, Puddles has become a favorite of musical comedy legends like Eric Idle\, Jack Black\, Paul Reubens and Weird Al. He has even won the approval of his long-standing man-crush and modern-day Renaissance Man\, Kevin Costner. \nNot bad for two “losers” from America’s Got Talent! These satin-adorned down-and-outers have been pals since they first met ages ago at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Neither is easily amused\, but when offered the chance to play a double bill\, they both agreed it was a pretty good idea\, and thus was born The Piff and Puddles Misery Loves Company Tour.
