MAMA HATED DIESELS
The Stage Theatre
March 19-May 9
A world premiere musical produced by Denver Center Theatre Company.
Randal Myler and Dan Wheetman, co-authors of the Denver Center hits Fire on the Mountain and It Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues, create a rambunctious musical portrait of America’s long-distance truckers. Drawn from interviews with the men and women who criss-cross the country in their 18-wheelers, the musical marries Myler’s gift for real-life grit and high-rolling entertainment with Wheetman’s ear for the midnight jukebox sounds of a truck stop café.

IN THE HEIGHTS
The Buell Theatre
April 28-May 9
Winner of four 2008 Tony Awards and the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album, IN THE HEIGHTS tells the universal story of a vibrant community in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood—a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures—where the biggest struggle can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN 
The Buell Theatre
June 15-27
The classic movie is ALIVE in a spectacular new production, with a sensational cast that delivers all the classic moments from the film, plus brand-new show-stopping numbers for the stage, including "Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and “Puttin' on the Ritz." This wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein (that's Fronkensteen) as he attempts to create a monster—but not without scary and hilarious complications. The brains behind the laughter is mad genius and three- time Tony-winner Mel Brooks himself, along with his record-breaking team from The Producers, five-time Tony-winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman and three-time Tony-winning writer Thomas Meehan.

Lincoln Center Theater’s triumphant reinvigoration of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s SOUTH PACIFIC swept the 2008 Tony Awards, winning seven honors including Best Musical Revival and Best Director and creating a sold-out sensation on Broadway.

One of the world’s most beloved stories comes to life on the national stage for the first time. Based on the book by Dodie Smith, THE 101 DALMATIANS MUSICAL is a one-of-a-kind adventure for the entire family.
