CHRISTMAS BY KRISTIN CHENOWETH — December 7, 2024

Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth’s career spans film, television, voice acting and stage.

In 2015, Chenoweth received a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2009, she received an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in “Pushing Daisies.” In 1999, she won a Tony Award for “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” and in 2004, she was nominated for her original role as Glinda the Good Witch in “Wicked.”

Chenoweth released her latest Christmas album, “HAPPINESS is…Christmas!” in 2021. The set is full of old and new Christmas classics and highlights her favorite time of the year.

This holiday concert features special guests from Broken Arrow High School Choir and Stars On Stage, a program that uses theater as a means of collaboration in multi-ability groups and acts as a bridge between children with special needs and other children their age group to create a fully staged theater production with no limitations.

ANA GASTEYER: SUGAR & ALCOHOL — December 16, 2024

Ana Gasteyer is perhaps best known for her unparalleled work on Saturday Night Live. During her six-year tenure, she created some of SNL’s most iconic characters, including middle school music teacher Bobbie Moughan-Culp, NPR radio host Margaret Jo, Lilith Fair poet Cinder Calhoun, and spot-on impersonations of Martha Stewart, Celine Dion, and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Gasteyer is also a prolific singer-songwriter. This winter, she will embark on a holiday tour to promote “Sugar and Booze,” her new album of seasonal favorites and holiday originals that topped numerous “Best Holiday Album” lists. Billboard called it “a hilarious homage to Christmas albums of yore” and BUST Magazine called it “the magical love child of Astrud Gilberto and Lucille Ball – an unexpectedly perfect combination,” and received rave reviews.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY — February 20, 2025

A comical feast that captures the weirdness in every family, THE ADDAMS FAMILY is the deliciously macabre hit musical starring everyone’s favorite creepy, wacky characters. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a decent family. A man her parents never met. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother.

Now Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. Hot on the heels of Wednesday, the third most-watched Netflix series of all time, Big League Productions, Inc. presents THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a devilishly delightful musical comedy based on the bizarre and beloved characters of legendary cartoonist Charles Addams.

THE CHER SHOW — 28 April 2025

The Tony Award-winning musical: her life, her story, her legend. Superstars come and go. Cher is forever. For six decades in a row, one unstoppable force has dominated pop culture – breaking down barriers, pushing boundaries and letting nothing and no one stop her. The Cher Show is the Tony Award-winning musical of her story, and there’s so much of Cher in it that it takes three women to play her: the young girl, the glamorous pop star and the icon.

The Cher Show encompasses 35 smash hits, six decades of fame, two rock star husbands, a Grammy, an Oscar, an Emmy, and enough Tony Award-winning Bob Mackie dresses to cause a sequin shortage in New York City—all in one fabulous new musical.
