OUR BOLD 67TH SEASON

GYPSY_HORIZONTAL_NO-CREDITS_V1_rgb-01web.png

Skylight Music Theatre is proud to present our bold 67th season, promising a celebration of musicals with daring stories, unforgettable characters, and show-stopping spectacle. From an ambitious stage mother in Gypsy to a young dreamer in Big The Musical, from the timely and emotional journey of Dear Evan Hansen to the wickedly clever scheming of A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, and the high-voltage glam metal of Rock of Ages, each production showcases characters and moments that take risks, defy expectations, and ignite the imagination.  

This season is bold in story and in scale, designed to captivate audiences, spark conversation, and make every performance an extraordinary experience. Audiences can expect bold voice, bold moments, and bold heart on stage. 

Gypsy

Book by Arthur Laurents

Music by Jule Styne

Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Directed by Artistic Director, Michael Unger

One of Broadway’s most celebrated musicals, GYPSY is a musical fable of ambition, family, and the cost of fame. Follow a determined stage mother as she pushes her daughters towards stardom, all while longing for her own spotlight. As vaudeville fades and burlesque rises in the American 1920s-30s, this landmark musical, considered one of the greatest of all time, captures grit, glamour, and humor of show business. With a legendary score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim, each song sparkles with heart, wit, and showstopping moments.

Big The Musical

Based on the 1987 film

Book by John Weidman

Music by David Shire

Lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr.

Directed by Artistic Director, Michael Unger

The beloved 1987 film bursts to life on the Cabot stage in a magical, unforgettable theatrical experience. When awkward kid, Josh Baskin, makes a wish on a Zoltar arcade machine to be “big,” his wish comes true, and he suddenly finds himself navigating jobs, romance, and the hilarious challenges of adulthood. With a witty and moving book by John Weidman and a heartfelt contemporary score by David Shire and Richard Maltby, Jr., BIG is a dazzling family-friendly smash hit for audiences of all ages!

Dear Evan Hansen

Book by Steven Levenson

Music and Lyrics by Benj Pask & Justin Paul

Directed by Elyse Edelman

A Tony Award-winning, coming-of-age hit about truth, identity, and the yearning to belong. Seventeen-year-old Evan Hansen has always felt invisible, until a sudden tragedy puts him at the center of a community shaken by loss. As his carefully woven lines unravel, Evan must confront the price of acceptance and the courage to be himself. Featuring a Tony Award-winning book by Steven Levenson and a stunning, Tony Award-winning score by Benj Pask & Justin Paul, DEAR EVAN HANSEN is a powerful, moving story that resonates with audiences of all ages.

A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder

Book by Robert L. Freedman

Music and Lyrics by Steven Lutvak

Lyrics by Robert L. Freedman and Steven Lutvak

Directed by Artistic Director Michael Unger

Based on the novel by Roy Horniman. 

The Tony Award-winning, laugh-out-loud hit! When low-born Monty Navarro learns he is eighth in line for a grand earldom and inheritance, he hatches a delightfully ghoulish plan to eliminate all the unsuspecting relatives in his way and perhaps win the heart of the woman he loves as well. With a witty book by Robert L. Freedman and a clever toe-tapping score by Steven Lutvak and Freedman, this theatrical comedy is darkly hilarious, brilliantly twisted, and impossible to forget.

Rock Of Ages

Book by Chris D’Arienzo

Arrangements and Orchestrations by Ethan Popp

Directed and Choreographed by Stephanie Staszak  

It’s the tail end of the wild 1980s, where Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor reign supreme at a legendary venue on the Sunset Strip. Aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew and  small-town girl Sherri share big dreams and a thirst for fame. All is put to the test when the Strip’s existence is threatened by urban developers. Brought in to save the Strip, rock god Stacee Jaxx causes a wake of chaos and broken hearts instead. Packed with anthems of Twisted Sister, Styx, Whitesnake, and many more fan-favorites, ROCK OF AGES is a loud, raucous, heart-pounding celebration of rock ‘n’ roll and never giving up on what you believe in.
