SUMMARY:Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical
DESCRIPTION:THE GRINCH broke box office records for two consecutive years on Broadway during its holiday engagements at the St. James and Hilton theatres in New York. Since then\, more than 2.1 million theatre-goers across America have been delighted by this heart-warming holiday musical\, which The New York Times praised as “100 times better than any bedtime story” and the Gannett papers hailed as “A genius of a show! A total delight for both kids and adults.”  \nDr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical features the hit songs “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” (written by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss) from the original animated series. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch\, whose heart is “two sizes too small\,” decides to steal Christmas away from the Holiday loving Whos. Magnificent sets (John Lee Beatty) and costumes (Robert Morgan) inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations help transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville\, while the Music and Book of Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason breathe new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of Christmas. The 2024 production is directed by Matt August and choreographed by Bob Richard based on the original choreography by John DeLuca and originally created by 4-time Tony Award® winning director\, Jack O’Brien.  \n“He’s a mean one\, Mr. Grinch – but oh\, what a charmer! Joyously wicked and funny…” – The New York Times  \nBroadway Buzz: Cocktails to Curtain – a pre-show discussion open to all ticket holders in MPAC’s Anello Atrium on Tuesday\, November 25 from 6:30 – 7:15 PM. The discussion for this performance will be hosted by Critics’ Choice Association member and entertainment journalist\, Ryan Jay\, focusing on the journey from page – to screen – to stage\, and how the Grinch has delighted audiences for generations. Ryan’s guest for this session will be Milwaukee actor and director Randall Dodge\, who will share his own experiences in this iconic role. Attendee questions are welcome and encouraged. \nPost-Show Q&A – Join us for a post-show Q&A with some of the cast after the show on Wednesday\, November 26! Simply move up near the front of the stage once the house lights go up. \n

SUMMARY:Christmas with C.S. Lewis
DESCRIPTION:In the early years of his young adult life\, C.S. Lewis believed the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than feel-good myth. That all changed after a particular encounter with his great friend and fellow author\, J.R.R. Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general\, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis’ journey from Atheism to Christianity. From that point on Christmas\, for Lewis\, took on an entirely different meaning.  \nHere we find him at his home near Oxford on Christmas Eve hosting a group of Americans who are Christmassing in England. They are about to experience an unforgettable assortment of Yuletide recollections which stimulate a whole range of emotions – curiosity\, laughter\, gladness and even some tears. Above all\, they will discover how that encounter with Tolkien forever changed his Christmas celebrations.  \nThis event is presented by Emery Entertainment\, an independent organization separate from the Marcus Performing Arts Center.  \n ABOUT DAVID PAYNE  Since landing his first role as C.S. Lewis in the 1990s\, David Payne has become the world’s foremost actor in the world of Lewis. He has performed as C.S. Lewis in more than 1\,000 productions\, in front of nearly 750\,000 people. There almost seems to be a magical connection between Payne and his audiences.  Throughout the entire performance audience members feel as if they’re in the presence of the great author\, scholar\, and humorist as Payne completely embodies the role.  To learn more about David Payne’s work\, visit www.birdandbabyproductions.com.

SUMMARY:On A Winter’s Night
DESCRIPTION:The winter season is once again celebrated by these unparalleled singer-songwriters in their reunion tour\, back together by popular demand: Patty Larkin\, Cliff Eberhardt\, John Gorka\, and Lucy Kaplansky.  \nIn 1994\, Christine Lavin gathered together the best and brightest singer-songwriters along with folk and Americana artists to showcase the music of the winter season on their now-classic record\, On A Winter’s Night. Individually\, these musicians have released dozens of recordings and toured steadily through the decades\, with fond memories of their time together.  \n Patty Larkin American singer-songwriter and guitarist Patty Larkin redefines the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising lyrics and vocals. Described as “riveting” (Chicago Tribune)\, “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly)\, and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter)\, Patty has captured audiences for over 30 years with an imagination\, enchantment\, and technical artistry. Recently an Artist-in-Residence at Berklee College of Music and now on the faculty at Fine Arts Work Center\, Larkin reflects\, “I have been energized by the poets\, writers\, and artists I have met while teaching\, and find myself on a journey to break down some of the predictable pathways that songs can travel.” Bird in a Cage\, her fourteenth album\, puts poems from ten notable poets to song for a new and haunting collection that pulses with the magic of lyricism. With 11 Boston Music Awards to her credit\, Patty is also the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Berklee College of Music.   Cliff Eberhardt One of the most original songsmiths currently on tour\, Cliff Eberhardt is a highly intelligent\, articulate artist whose penetrating and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary guitar playing. Upon close listening\, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from his mouth are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Like John Hammond and Richie Havens\, Eberhardt continues to carry the torch for traditional and contemporary folk music through his strong live shows. Whether he’s out on tour solo or with a small band\, Eberhardt’s guitar playing\, singing\, and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling\, thought-filled\, emotional roller coaster of a concert.   John Gorka Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement\,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90s folk scene. Originally from New Jersey\, John served an apprenticeship at Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem\, PA\, then the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk Award at the Kerrville Folk Festival\, in 1984\, he was then signed to Red House Records on which he released his landmark first of 17 recordings\, I Know. Boston Globe penned Gorka “for the sophisticated intelligence and the provocative originality of his songs.” Recent accolades include 2016’s Indie Acoustic Project’s Best Singer/Songwriter CD of the Year for Before Beginning (Red House Records). 2018 brought his latest release\, and fourteenth of his career\, True In Time (Compass Records).   Lucy Kaplansky “A truly gifted performer…full of enchanting songs” (New York Times). Blending country\, folk and pop styles\, Lucy Kaplansky has the unique ability to make every song sound fresh\, whether singing her own sweet originals\, covering country classics by June Carter Cash and Gram Parsons\, or singing pop favorites by Lennon/McCartney and Nick Lowe. Lucy’s iconic voice has been featured in film and on television\, including commercials like Chevrolet’s iconic “Heartbeat of America” jingle. A Billboard-charting singer and one of the top-selling artists on Red House Records\, she has topped the folk and Americana radio charts and has been featured on shows throughout the world from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radio to CBS Sunday Morning. One of the most in-demand harmony singers\, Lucy has sung on countless records\, performing with Suzanne Vega\, Bryan Ferry\, Nanci Griffith\, and Shawn Colvin.

SUMMARY:Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents: Great American Crooners
DESCRIPTION:Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents: Great American Crooners celebrates the timeless charm of legendary voices like Frank Sinatra\, Tony Bennett\, and Bobby Darin\, whose velvety voices and sentimental serenades made them superstars on stage and screen. This stylish evening of classic tunes features acclaimed vocalists Robbie Lee and Shenel Johns\, along with Downbeat Magazine’s #1 Rising Star Male Vocalist\, Benny Benack III\, all of whom have graced Jazz at Lincoln Center’s stages.  \nRelive classics like “I’ve Got You Under My Skin\,” “Misty\,” “I Only Have Eyes for You\,” and “Moon River\,” while hearing incredible true stories about the crooners who made them famous.   \nFor over three decades\, Jazz at Lincoln Center has been a leading advocate for jazz\, culture\, and arts education. The Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents touring initiative offers an opportunity to experience great jazz programming\, featuring up-and-coming musicians identified as rising stars by JALC.  \nThis show is part of the 2025/26 MPAC Presents Jazz series. To learn more and subscribe to all three jazz shows\, click here. \n Benny Benack III  By age 31\, Emmy-nominated trumpeter and singer Benny Benack III has proven to be that rarest of talents: not only a fiery trumpet player with a stirring command of the postbop trumpet vernacular in the vein of Kenny Dorham and Freddie Hubbard\, but also a singer with a sly\, mature\, naturally expressive delivery in the post-Sinatra mold\, performing standards and his own astute songs with a thrilling sense of showmanship. This duel-threat ability was recognized by the 2022 Downbeat Critics Poll where he appeared as not only the #2 Rising Star Male Vocalist\, but a top Rising Star Trumpeter as well. His superb intonation and bracing virtuosity enable him to handle astounding feats of originally composed vocalese (complex solos with written lyrics). On top of it all\, he’s a highly capable pianist as well.  Benny has performed internationally as an Emcee/Host for the YouTube sensation Postmodern Jukebox and achieved his own viral success amassing millions of views for his crooning alongside the Grammy-award winning “8-Bit Big Band.” In early 2020 he released A Lot of Livin’ to Do\, the follow-up to his well-received 2017 debut One of a Kind.   Alongside his global touring as a straight-ahead/contemporary bandleader\, Benny has appeared as a trumpet soloist in more commercial circles alongside Josh Groban\, Ben Folds\, fashion icon Isaac Mizrahi\, Ann Hampton Callaway and more. He’s been featured at Birdland\, Jazz @ Lincoln Center\, Mezzrow\, Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle and other leading New York venues\, and has also been a special guest with the Pittsburgh Symphony Pops Orchestra\, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra and the Minsk Philharmonic Orchestra. He made his television debut in NBC’s short-lived\, SNL-inspired variety show “Maya & Marty” playing in the in-studio band led by acclaimed bassist & Broadway arranger Charlie Rosen. His global recognition has been bolstered by recent live-streaming concerts at Smalls Jazz Club\, where he maintains a weekly residency\, as well as frequent appearances on fellow young lion Emmet Cohen’s “Emmet’s Place” weekly show.   Shenel Johns With a voice that embodies grace and passion and a personal style that sways effortlessly from jazz to R&B to gospel\, Shenel has emerged as one of the shining stars of her generation. A native of Hartford\, Connecticut\, Johns has been performing since she was fourteen years of age\, and has developed a distinctive\, eclectic style that has increasingly caught the attention of her peers and some of the industry’s top performers. Johns received a B.A. in music management from the Jackie McLean Institute at the Hartt School of Music and studied performance with such jazz legends as Rene McLean\, Jimmy Greene\, and Nat Reeves. She has shared the stage with music royalty including Curtis Fuller\, Hank Jones\, Dionne Warwick\, and Sheila Jordan\, and has performed and recorded with an impressive array of leaders in the field. In 2016\, Johns completed a musical residency at Jazz at Lincoln Center Doha in Qatar and\, several months later\, honored Billie Holiday as part of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s New York production of Billie and the Boys. She has also paid tribute to another of her idols\, Lena Horne\, at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s famed Appel Room. Most recently\, Johns was the winner of the Riga Jazz Stage Competition in Riga\, Latvia\, and was featured in the Hartford Jazz Festival’s Ella Fitzgerald Tribute.  Robbie Lee  Robbie Lee is a New York City based pianist\, vocalist\, composer and educator whose spectacular ability to merge his equal talents makes him one of the most exciting emerging artists to date. Growing up in Tucson\, Lee was encouraged by his mother to find music he enjoyed. Falling in love with earlier blues and rock and roll music\, Robbie eventually found jazz as a new way to express himself. Through joining the Tucson Jazz Institute\, Lee was exposed to a broad range of jazz from Traditional to Post-Bop styles. Eagerly gathering information from the plethora of this music\, Lee was encouraged to develop his own voice and keep an open mind.   A graduate of both The Juilliard School (AD ‘21) and The Manhattan School of Music (BM ‘18)\, at 27 he has already shared the stage with his mentors\, such as world renown jazz icons Wynton Marsalis\, Jimmy Heath\, Herlin Riley\, Bruce Barth\, Matt Wilson\, and Brice Winston. Throughout his career\, Lee has earned recognition for both his performance and composition skills\, receiving awards from Downbeat Magazine\, YoungArts\, The Essentially Ellington Festival and Competition\, and The Next Generation Jazz Festival.   Commonly regarded as a first-rate pianist/vocalist\, Robbie draws musical inspiration from Nat King Cole\, Duke Ellington\, Bud Powell\, Thelonious Monk\, and many others. While he mostly performs songs of the Great American Songbook and Jazz Idiom\, showcasing his versatility and deep understanding of the genre\, Lee also enjoys composing new works that feature his peers and himself. As a writer\, Lee has arranged/composed works ranging in ensemble size from solo piano to full orchestra.

SUMMARY:HADESTOWN
DESCRIPTION:COME SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE.  \nWelcome to HADESTOWN\, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album\, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha\, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always.  \nHADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice\, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature\, doubt against faith\, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors\, dancers and singers\, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.  \n“SUMPTUOUS. GORGEOUS.

SUMMARY:Tales of Hoffmann
DESCRIPTION:The Tales of Hoffmann (Les Contes d’Hoffmann) is a haunting opera that dives into the stormy\, occasionally uncanny\, love life of poet Hoffmann. In a series of flashbacks (and perhaps a bit too much wine)\, Hoffmann recounts three romantic escapades\, each with its own fantastical twist—and each disastrously interrupted by a shadowy villain determined to ruin his good time. The opera is a blend of romance\, heartbreak\, and just the right dose of the surreal\, proving that in Hoffmann’s world\, if something seems too good to be true\, it probably involves an evil doppelgänger or a mechanical doll. \nPerformed in French with English supertitles. \nPre-Opera Talk\nMarch 13\, 2026 at 6:30pm\nMarch 15\, 2026 at 1:30pm \n Artists & Cast COMPOSED BY Jacques OffenbachSTAGE DIRECTED BY David Lefkowich *CONDUCTED BY Francesco MiliotoWITH THE Milwaukee Symphony OrchestraFEATURING The Florentine Opera Chorus\,Dr. Benjamin Rivera\, Chorus Master Performers Hoffmann Kang Wang *Heroines: (Antonia\, Olympia\, Giulietta\, Stella) Susanne Burgess *Villains: (Lindorf\, Coppélius\, Dr. Miracle\, Dappertutto) Christian Pursell *(Niklaus/Muse) Emily Fons(Valet Tenors: Frantz\, Andres\, Cochenille\, Pittichinaccio) Julius Ahn *(Voice of Antonia’s Mother) Lauryn Nelson + (Spalanzani\, Nathanael) Zach Taylor +(Crespel\, Hermann) David Drettwan +(Schlémil\, Luther) Dylan Gregg *Indicates Florentine Opera Debut | + Baumgartner Studio Artist | ^ Baumgartner Studio Artist Alum

SUMMARY:Rocky Mountain High Experience: John Denver Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Experience the music of John Denver through the artistry of Rick Schuler\, the nation’s premier tribute to the legendary singer-songwriter.  \nRick’s story began at 13\, when a pair of round glasses revealed a striking resemblance to Denver—and sparked a lifelong passion.

SUMMARY:Shen Yun 2026
DESCRIPTION:Shen Yun invites you to travel back to the magical world of ancient China\, where classical Chinese dance\, vivid legends\, stunning costumes\, high-tech backdrops\, and a one-of-a-kind orchestra create a breathtaking theatrical experience.  \nThe traditional Chinese culture Shen Yun presents cannot be seen anywhere else—not even in China\, where the ruling communist regime has has viewed China’s rich spiritual and artistic heritage as a threat to its ideology and for decades tried to erase it. In 2006\, a group of Chinese artists came together in New York to bring this culture back to life\, inspired by their practice of Falun Dafa.  \nNow performing to sold-out audiences around the globe\, Shen Yun has brought a great civilization back from the brink of extinction.  \nThis event is presented by WI Falun Dafa Association/Southern USA Falun Dafa Association\, an independent organization separate from the Marcus Performing Arts Center.
