After several successful runs across the United States, Here You Come Again, has now been adapted for the UK. We are finishing the run in Leeds, England on June 11th and then head out on an extensive UK tour, playing one week stops in 24 different cities.

A Sign of the Times

A Sign of the Times

The year was 1965. Vietnam was only part of the news. It was an era of Black Power, equal rights, and social wrongs. Journey back to America’s most turbulent decade as a young woman tries to make her way in New York City. A totally original story with such classic songs as “Downtown,” “Gimme Some Lovin’,” “Rescue Me,” and “I Know A Place,” plus dozens more, A SIGN OF THE TIMES explodes with the music you love and the spirit that shaped a generation—and our own.

Here You Come Again

Here You Come Again

A rollicking and touching new musical about a has-been-who-never-was comedian and his unusual relationship with his longtime idol, Dolly Parton. The show is a celebration of Dolly’s music and of the profound and funny things she has to say to us all about life, love and how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps during the toughest of times—even if your bootstraps don’t have rhinestones!
