THE HILLS ARE ALIVE! A brand new production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC
is coming to Columbia. The spirited, romantic and beloved musical story of Maria and
the von Trapp Family will once again thrill audiences with its Tony®, Grammy® and
Academy Award® winning Best Score, including “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,”
“Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “Edelweiss” and the title song.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar
Hammerstein II, book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, suggested by
“The Trapp Family Singers” by Maria Augusta Trapp.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC enjoyed extraordinary success as the first live television
production of a musical in over 50 years when “The Sound of Music Live!” aired on
NBC in December, 2013 and was seen by over 44 million people. 2015 marked
the 50th anniversary of the film version, which continues to be the
most successful movie musical in history.

KEEP THE SAME GREAT SEATS,
YEAR AFTER YEAR, NOTE AFTER NOTE!
Based on the classic 1983 movie, A CHRISTMAS STORY, THE MUSICAL, nominated for three 2013 Tony
Awards including Best Musical, comes to hilarious life on stage! Set in 1940s Indiana, a young and
bespectacled Ralphie Parker schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder®
Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. An infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas,
a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the
distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish. The Associated Press calls A CHRISTMAS
STORY, THE MUSICAL “a joyous Christmas miracle,” while The New York Times writes “I was dazzled.
You’d have to have a Grinchsized heart not to feel a smile spreading across your face.”

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 founder Berry Gordy’s journey from featherweight boxer to
the heavyweight music mogul who launched the careers of Diana Ross, Michael
Jackson, Smokey Robinson and many more. Motown shattered barriers, shaped
our lives and made us all move to the same beat. Featuring classic songs such
as “My Girl” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” experience the story
behind the music in the record-breaking smash hit MOTOWN THE MUSICAL!

In 1996, an original rock musical by a little-known
composer opened on Broadway… and forever changed the
landscape of American theatre. Two decades later, Jonathan
Larson’s RENT continues to speak loudly and defiantly to
audiences across generations and all over the world. And
now, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning masterpiece
returns to the stage in a vibrant 20th anniversary touring
production. A re-imagining of Puccini’s La Bohème, RENT
follows an unforgettable year in the lives of seven artists
struggling to follow their dreams without selling out.
With its inspiring message of joy and hope in the face
of fear, this timeless celebration of friendship and
creativity reminds us to measure our lives with the
only thing that truly matters—love.
