Home for the Holidays creator Mark Danni, TheatreZone’s founding artistic director, reimagines the show every year to enchant audiences with new music and glittering costumes and scenery. Home for the Holidays’ cast members perform energetic dance routines, choreographed by Associate Artistic Director Karen Danni, accompanied by a live orchestra leaving the audiences filled with joy after every performance.

Once, set in Ireland, features a cast who are also the show’s musicians and speak with Irish and Czech accents. The plot follows the relationship between Guy, a street performer who is a songwriting guitar player, and Girl, whose encouragement and appreciation of Guy’s music lifts his spirits when he wants to quit music. As the friends develop feelings for one another, they make decisions of the heart that will keep the audience guessing about happy endings.

Ben Brantley wrote in The New York Times, “The songs … soar with rough-edged, sweet-and-sad ambivalence that is seldom visited in contemporary American musicals.” In his London Theatre Guide review of the West End production, Peter Brown wrote, “Almost from the first note, you realize you are listening to music that is extraordinarily distinctive, powerfully emotional, and hugely affecting – in a word … stunning.”

Angel returns to town seeking to reconnect with the people and places she long ago left behind, complicating Anna’s plans. The mother and daughter argue, and flashback scenes reveal ancient resentments. The cast also includes six male actors who tap dance and also play women’s roles.

Composer John Kander commented that The Rink “was the most complete realization” of his intentions of any production he had done. Lyricist Fred Ebb agreed, asserting that, “Every single element of it was exactly as we imagined.” 

The Rink will be presented with the help and blessing of John Kander, who helped grant the exclusive rights for this TheatreZone production. 

The group was formed in the early 1950s by Frankie Valli, Tommy DeVito, Nick DeVito, and Bob Gaudio, who was introduced to the group by Joe Pesci. Severe financial difficulties, jail sentences, deceptions, double-crossing, and mob connections added stress to the partnership, even as they created such hit songs as “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Sherry,” “My Eyes Adored You,” “Walk Like a Man,” and “Working My Way Back to You.”

Jersey Boys is a high-energy, innovative musical that takes audiences behind the scenes of the group and its music in a classic rags-to-riches — and back to rags — story.
