Music Mountain Theatre presents "Gypsy"


(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- “Ready or not, here comes Mama!” as Music Mountain Theatre continues their 5th season with Gypsy running February 18 to March 6. Gypsy is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters' success - while secretly yearning for her own. Set all across America in the 1920s and 30s, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born, Arthur Laurents' landmark show explores the world of two-bit show business with brass, humor, heart, and sophistication. 
Eagle Theatre presents "Xanadu"


(HAMMONTON, NJ) -- In the two years since Eagle Theatre last presented a mainstage musical, it’s become clear that there are three things audiences are ready to experience once again: the power of live music, the delight of a hilarious comedy, and really, really bad Australian accents. With their first show of 2022, Xanadu, the Eagle will provide all three! A satirical adaptation of the 1980 cult classic film starring Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton-John, this musical written by Douglas Carter Beane features the music of Electric Light Orchestra’s Jeff Lynne & John Farrar, and will serve as a triumphant, ridiculous return to live performance for the company. Xanadu will run March 3-20 at the Eagle’s historic downtown Hammonton venue.
