This is a musical version of the modern tale of a boy who must
save the princesses Rhyme and Reason and reunite the brother
Kings of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. Aided by a trusty
time-keeping dog, Tock, Milo successfully brings harmony to the
Land of Wisdom and learns many things about words and numbers
along his journey. Perhaps the most important lesson he takes
with him, however, is that everything we learn has a purpose and
whatever we do affects everything and everyone. When he returns
home, he realizes there is never a reason to be bored in a world
full of so many things to discover.

Winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, AVENUE Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. AVENUE Q SCHOOL EDITION is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it's clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was
destined to become the world's most beloved musical. When a
postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is
dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a
widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters,
coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the
heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from
their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by
the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in their
navy. The family's narrow escape over the mountains to
Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most
thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the
theatre. The motion picture version remains the most popular
movie musical of all time.

When King Alonso of Naples and his entourage sail home for Italy
after attending his daughter's wedding in Tunis, Africa, they
encounter a violent storm. Everyone jumps overboard and are
washed ashore on a strange island inhabited by the magician
Prospero. Prospero and Miranda live in a cave on the island which
is also inhabited by Ariel, a sprite who carries out the bidding
of Prospero, and the half-human Caliban. Various plots against
the main characters fail thanks to the magic of Prospero. In the
conclusion, all the main characters are brought together before
Prospero, who sets things right, with the help of the audience.
