Wicked
Forget all that you know about The Wizard of Oz and be transported once again to the magical land of Oz! This time, however, the action takes place way before the arrival of Dorothy and her pooch Toto. THIS is the story of two magically inclined women, one blonde, and one green of skin - and their coming-of-age as the forces of good and (perceived) 'wicked'. Discover this incredible musical phenomenon, based on the critically acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire, which explores the foundation of the Oz legend, of what made Glinda and Elphaba become the icons of good and bad, and whether all is what it appears to be in later stories.
The Hip Hop Nutcracker
What do you get when you combine the elegant holiday score of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker and a DJ with pin-sharp contemporary hip hop dance? This hit show mashes up two very American icons into a stunning production that has met with rave reviews since its 2014 Washington debut. Don't miss it live this year when the tour dances its way to you!
A Christmas Carol
Penny-pinching and bad-tempered old miser Ebenezer Scrooge goes on the adventure of his life, from his past to his present and beyond, and learns that the value of gold will never equal that of genuine love for his fellow men. The classic holiday tale, directed by Mark Clements and starring Matt Daniels as Scrooge returns to the Pabst Theatre this year, courtesy of Milwaukee Rep!
Milwaukee Ballet - The Nutcracker
As Milwaukee's holiday entertainment jewel, this production of The Nutcracker is a dazzling journey to a magical land where dolls, toys and snowflakes come to life under the direction of Tchaikovsky's unforgettable score. With the Milwaukee Ballet Orchestra performing alongside the Milwaukee Children's Choir, you'll be absolutely charmed by this feast for the senses.
Elf the Musical
Elf: The Musical is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan who accidentally crawls into Santa's sack of gifts and is taken to the North Pole. Buddy is raised unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. The heartwarming musical follows Buddy on his quest for his real family, as well as bringing much-needed Christmas spirit to the city of New York.
The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert
So good it's often been named the best film adaptation of Charles Dicken's festive masterpiece ever, no holiday season is complete without a viewing of The Muppet Christmas Carol, and there's no better way to experience it than in this Live to Screen concert edition, played by your local Symphony. Starring Kermit the Frog, Micheal Caine, Gonzo and many more of the iconic Muppet stable, enjoy the classic story, complete with humor, heart, and Miles Goodman and Paul Williams' unforgettable score!
