RENT is about being young and learning to survive in New York City. It’s about falling in love, finding your voice, and living for today. It’s about giving hope and having faith and it’s connecting with audiences in a way that no musical ever has. RENT swept all major theatre awards, including the Tony Award for Best Musical as well as the Pulitzer Prize. 
From the blast of the first trumpet to the last hot spotlight, it’s little wonder why Gypsy reigns as one of the greatest Broadway musicals of the 20th century. The big, brassy, funny and unforgettable show - with music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Arthur Laurents - gloriously returns to the stage in this production. Packing a powerful wallop, Gypsy serves up one popular standard after another like "Everything’s Coming Up Roses," "You Gotta Have a Gimmick," and "Let Me Entertain You." Everyone agrees - Broadway musicals don't get much better than Gypsy.
A garage band formed in Austin, MN, this “country-rock” quartet plays a variety of songs from those about pubic drunkenness and bad relationships to the downright silly about zambonis and killer bees.

MercyMe is a Christian rock band that has performed together since 1994. The group found widespread fame in 2001 with the release of "I Can Only Imagine" a single that was #1 on Christian music charts and also found success among secular audiences. MercyMe characterizes their new album as edgier than past work. Lyricist Bart Millard describes Coming Up to Breathe as "...exactly who we are and the kind of music we play." 
I Love A Piano is an enchanting theatrical journey about a piano that passes through several owners, beginning in the Tin Pan Alley era, circa 1911, when Berlin launched his career, and ending during a late-1950s summer-stock casting session for Berlin's 1946 musical, Annie Get Your Gun. Using 64 of Berlin’s enduring and popular favorites, I Love A Piano captures the spirit of America from the Ragtime rhythms of the early 20th century through the swinging sophistication of the 1920s and 30s. From the sentimental songs that inspired a nation during two World Wars to the innocent optimism of the 1950’s. Timeless classics, such as “White Christmas,” “God Bless America,” “Puttin’ On The Ritz,” and “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” do more than define the music of a generation, they define the music of our country.
