Mean Girls

December 4 – 15, 2024

“TINA FEY STILL WRITES FUNNIER, SMARTER, SHARPER SATIRE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE BUSINESS.” – Chicago Tribune
Direct from Broadway, MEAN GIRLS is the hilarious hit musical from an award-winning creative team, including book writer TINA FEY (“30 Rock”), composer JEFF RICHMOND (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), lyricist NELL BENJAMIN (Legally Blonde) and original director and choreographer CASEY NICHOLAW (The Book of Mormon).  
 
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naïve newbie falls prey to a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung. 
 
New York Magazine cheers, “MEAN GIRLS delivers with immense energy, a wicked sense of humor and joyful inside-jokery.” USA Today says, “We’ll let you in on a little secret, because we’re such good friends: GET YOUR TICKETS NOW BY SUBSCRIBING!” 

Beetlejuice

January 29 - February 9, 2025

“SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN! AN EYE-POPPING MUSICAL WITH OFF-THE-WALL HUMOR, WICKEDLY GOOD TUNES, ENDLESS VISUAL DELIGHTS, AND (GASP!) EVEN HEART.” - Variety

He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to Anchorage.  

It’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!
