Tulsa-area native Will Rogers was a multimedia star like no other before or since. A cowboy with a folksy sense of humor and mad rope-trick skills, he found success as a vaudeville performer, newspaper columnist, radio host, and stage and screen actor. He was the leading political wit and highest paid Hollywood movie star of his time. "The Will Rogers Follies" tells the story of his amazing life (1879-1935) in a series of Ziegfeld Follies-style song-and-dance numbers. With a book by Peter Stone, music by Cy Coleman, and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, the show won six 1991 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score. Mitch Adams and Cathy Rose star as Will and Betty Rogers in this production.
"Heathers: The Musical" is the darkly delicious story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. But before she can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously sexy new kid J.D. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss up to Heather… but J.D. has another plan for that bullet.

They delivered the papers...until they made the headlines! NEWSIES, based on the 1992 movie, is another smash-hit, crowd-pleasing musical from Disney.

It features a score by Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast) and Jack Feldman (The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride), a book by Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots), choreography by Christopher Gattelli (South Pacific), and direction by Jeff Calhoun (Big River).
