Widely regarded as one of the greatest Broadway musicals of all time, Gypsy focuses on the mother of all stage mothers, Mama Rose, who relentlessly pushes her daughters June and Louise on the vaudeville circuit, forever dreaming of the big time. By the time Rose finally succeeds - fashioning a grown-up Louise into legendary burlesque queen Gypsy Rose Lee - she is left to wonder if it was worth it. Few musicals have so powerfully blended knockout entertainment with such a mature and poignant story. Featuring a famously tuneful score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim that includes "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "Together Wherever We Go," "Some People," "If Mama was Married," and "Rose's Turn."

Altar Boyz

It’s a play! It’s a concert! It’s Nunsense meets N-Sync! It’s Altar Boyz, the Catholic boy band on a mission: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan & Abraham. They aim to save souls with hot pop songs, glorious voices, and killer choreography. Matthew is the dreamboat leader of the group. Mark is the sensitive one. Luke is the streetwise B-boy who has a little trouble staying on the Path. Juan is the Latin hottie in search of his long-lost parents. And Abraham is Jewish. (What’s he doing in a Christian boy band? God only knows.) They are fierce in their spiritual mission and, though there is much humor resulting from their naïve fervor, they are utterly sincere and their message is all about the power of love, acceptance…and really great hair. Songs: God Put the Rhythm in Me; Girl, You Make Me Want To Wait; La Vida Eterna; Everybody Fits in God’s Great Family.

Hailing from Israel, Koresh creates dynamic dance pieces that not only blend ballet, modern, and jazz forms but also incorporate elements of African, Indian, and Middle Eastern dance. Koresh's choreography is renowned above all else for its passion, and his dancers are routinely lauded for their sensual athleticism and superb technique. Embracing both big themes and light-hearted moments, the Koresh Company specializes in dance that is at once eloquent and explosive!

Sockdology

Camelot's first main stage show was the Finalist for the American Theatre Critics Association/Steinberg New Play Award for 1999, Jeffrey Hatcher's " Sockdology." Playing February 6 through March 2, "Sockdology" (a knockout punch) takes place on the night in 1865 when President Lincoln was shot as he was attending a performance of " Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. After shooting the President, John Wilkes Booth jumped to the stage and fled. "Sockdology,"  a dark comedy, attempts to answer the question, "What happened next?"
