April is jam-packed with excellent theater! Early in the month, the classic Company comes to the
Opera House, this time with a twist!
Winner of 5 Tony's, now Bobbie's friends are all wondering why she doesn't get married and settle down! This sophisticated, insightful, humorous revival is packed with Sondheim's clever, complex, and witty songs.
Later in April Hadestown comes to the Wang. The LA Times raves, "one of the most exquisite works of musical story telling." A braiding of two myths from ancient Greece, Hadestown takes you to the underworld and back again, and asks:
"What ya gonna do when the chips are down,
now that the chips are down?"
At the end of the month, Clue opens at the Colonial,
with 216 possible endings!, which the audience decides! The improv and comedy keep you guessing and laughing all the way to the surprise conclusion!

You ate only RINDS for three days and nights. You reached out, you looked within. You have tried. And yet here you are. A tour-de-force performance of a man desperate for connection, bent by isolation, and deeply in love with the audience itself.
