THE BOOK OF MORMON

Kicking off this phenomenal Broadway season is The Book of Mormon.  This show will christen the stage December 13-18. Named "The best musical of this century," by The New York Times, The Book of Mormon will certainly bring a punch of flavor to the WAC stage this winter. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of "South Park," and Robert Lopez, co-creator of "Avenue Q," have created a show that The Washington Post  describes as "the kind of evening that restores your faith in musicals."

The Book of Mormon follows two young missionaries who are sent to Uganda to try to convert citizens to the Mormon religion. One missionary, Elder Price, is an enthusiastic go-getter with a strong dedication to his faith, while his partner, Elder Cunningham, is a socially awkward but well meaning nerd whose tendency to embroider the truth soon lands him in trouble. Upon their arrival in Africa, Elders Price and Cunningham learn that in a society plagued by AIDS, poverty and violence, a successful mission may not be as easy as they expected. Don't miss your chance to see this wildly hilarious adventure at Walton Arts Center this December. 

A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE & MURDER

The most celebrated musical of the 2013-14 Broadway season, Gentleman's Guide received ten 2014 Tony Awards nominations, eventually winning four awards: Best Musical, Direction of a Musical, Book of a Musical and Best Costume Design. 

A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder tells the uproarious story of Monty Novarro, a distant heir to a family of fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession, by any means necessary. All the while, he juggles his mistress, his bride-to-be and the threat of landing behind bars. This roller coaster show of quick changes is sure to keep audiences laughing and entertained all evening. 

Come join us for lots of laughter at Walton Arts Center January 10-15. This show is sure to be 'killer'!

CIRCUS OZ

The next stop on our journey down Broadway Boulevard is Circus Oz, February 15-19. With this show audiences will be taken on a whimsical adventure of the imagination that is out of this world. 

In this latest production from Circus Oz, be prepared to watch reality dissolve right before your eyes. The performers in this show inhabit a life unconstrained by the laws of physics. They are imagination warriors, bending the laws of the real world to fit their own aspirations. 

During this two hour array of physical feats, nothing is impossible and everything is extraordinary. Aerialists defy gravity, jugglers propel unlikely objects in complicated cacophonies and acrobats fall up and stand over. You can't miss this hilarious display of skillful antics so come join us for non-stop energy!

DIRTY DANCING

Next up is Dirty Dancing, March 8-12. This unprecedented live experience will capture audiences with its heart-pounding music, passionate romance and sensational dancing. 

Seen by millions across the globe, this worldwide smash hit tells the classic story of Baby and Johnny, two fiercely independent young spirits from different worlds who come together in what will be the most challenging and triumphant summer of their lives. This show will feature hit songs like, "Hungry Eyes," "Hey Baby," "Do You Love Me?" and "(I've Had) The Time of My Life."

London's Sunday Express says, "This crowd-pleasing stage adaptation hits the jackpot!" So dance your way on down to this jaw-dropping and record-breaking experience, we promise you wont regret it. 

THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME

Winner of five 2015 Tony Awards including Best Play, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has been hailed as "One of the most fully immersive works ever to wallop Broadway" by The New York Times.  

Join us April 18-23 for a dazzling adventure as we watch fifteen-year-old Christopher navigate through the trials of his life after he falls under suspicion of killing his neighbor's dog. Christopher sets out to identify the true culprit, which leads to an earth-shattering discovery and a journey that will change his life forever. 

MOTOWN THE MUSICAL

Don't unbuckle your seatbelt yet, our final stop on our Broadway journey is Motown The Musical, which comes to Walton Arts Center June 27-July 2. CBS Sunday Morning describes it as "More than a Broadway show. [It is] a celebration of music that transformed America!" 

It began as one man's story... became everyone's music... and is now Broadway's musical. Motown The Musical is the true American dream story of Motown under founder Berry Gordy's journey from featherweight boxer to the heavyweight musical mogul who launched the careers of Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Smoky Robinson and many more. Featuring classic songs such as "My Girl" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," this musical experience has shattered barriers, shaped our lives and made us all boogie to the same beat. It will surely close our Broadway season well, leaving audiences hungry for more.
