The Disney hit show, "Newsies," comes to Charlotte in January with the National Touring Company. This amazing show won Tony Awards for best score and choreography. It's an exciting combination of dance and song suitable for the whole family. The music was written by Alan Menken and the book by the inimitable Harvey Fierstein. The show is based on the real life newsboys strike in 1899 that later became a Disney movie.

The show won Tony Awards for choreography, direction, book and score. Take a struggling shoe factory owner who must make the business work and a drag queen in need of stable stilettos and you have "Kinky Books." Sometimes the best way to fit in is by standing out.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's first big show was created as a concept album in the late sixties. The show, "Jesus Christ Superstar," was Broadway's first rock opera. The show follows Jesus' rapid rise from religious rebel to cult figure. There are surprising parallels in the show to the cult of celebrity that surrounds us today. This look at the final days of the life of Jesus is presented with a pounding rock soundtrack and a highly theatrical backdrop.
