Saturday Night Fever |
| Contact September 4-9, 2001 Last year Contact took New York by storm winning every major award including the Tony for Best Musical. The show was hailed by Time Magazine for "kicking the dust off a tired old Broadway" and welcomed as "inventive, exuberant and refreshing". Contact has proven to be simply irresistible to audiences and critics alike. This dazzling evening consists of three stories, each about people in the wild pursuit of love, brilliantly told through music and dance - everything from ballet to swing, from Tchaikovsky to Robert Palmer. |
| Swing! January 1-6, 2002 Nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Director, Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations, Swing! is an all-singing, all-dancing evening of entertainment featuring a mix of new and classic songs and over 30 tour de force dance numbers, some comic, some romantic, some nostalgic, some sexy. Swing! also features spectacular vocal performances while the entire show is driven by the dynamic sound of a hot new swing band. In addition to several original songs, Swing! features classic swing tunes such as "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", "Harlem Noctume", "Sing, Sing, Sing!", "Stompin' at the Savoy", and "Blues in the Night". |
 The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas March 12-17, 2002 The legendary Ann-Margret makes her live musical-comedy debut as the madam, Miss Mona, in Broadway's sexiest musical, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Featuring brand new music written exclusively for Ann-Margret, Whorehouse is the rousing musical tale of Miss Mona's Chicken Ranch brothel in tiny Gilbert, Texas. When a puritanical TV reporter discovers the Chicken Ranch and demands its closing, the state's hypocritical politicians (and frequent Chicken Ranch customers) are pitted against Miss Mona and her "girls". This Tony-nominated musical will have feathers flying as we head back to the Ranch and all its crazy antics. |
| South Pacific June 11 - 16, 2002 South Pacific, the timeless Broadway musical of wartime and romance in an island paradise, marked Rogers and Hammerstein's fourth collaboration. This landmark show won 9 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score. It became only the second musical to win a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The unforgettable score is full of some of the most enduring standards in Broadway history, including "There's Nothing Like a Dame", "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair", "Bali Ha'i" and the beloved "Some Enchanted Evening". Countless productions around the world and a wildly successful film veresion have proven South Pacific to be a true classic! |
| The Phantom of the Opera July 3 - 28, 2002 Andrew Lloyd Webber's international award-winning phenomenon directed by Harold Prince has woven its magical spell over standing room audiences in more than 90 cities worldside. Phantom now returns to Portland's Keller Auditorium to take your breath away. It's a timeless story of seduction and despair and the one show The London Sunday Times called "God's gift to the musical theatre." |
