MY FAIR LADY
"SEE YOU AT THE THEATRE" ™
THE JERSEY BOYS
BROWARD STAGE DOOR THEATRE TO PRESENT
THE MUSICAL “VICTOR/VICTORIA"
Victor/Victoria is based on the beloved 1982 film of the same name. When refined British soprano Victoria Grant, a penniless soprano, who is down on her luck in Paris, she discovers that producers and night club owners are looking for a sound that is much inferior to hers. On the brink of starvation, she is rescued by Toddy, a warm, generous, and flamboyant night club singer, who gets a brilliant idea, to dress Victoria as a man, and pass her off as a female impersonator, where she will delight audiences with her astonishing vocal range.
No sooner does Victoria find success in her new role, she falls in love with King Marchan, a tough Chicago nightclub owner, and possible gangster with abundant masculine appeal. King, in turn, is terrified to find himself falling for a man, and refuses to believe that Victor is really Victor.
With hired detectives creeping through her hotel room, King’s showgirl lady friend, Norma Cassidy, out for some jealous revenge, and King’s sweet bodyguard, Squash Bernstein, revealing his homosexuality to smitten Toddy, Victoria’s life is a whirlwind of complications. Can she really go through life being Victor/Victoria?
Victoria must decide which is more important, a thrilling new career, or sweet and sudden love. With a jazzy, sophisticated score by Henry Mancini and Frank Wildhorn, Victor/Victoria is a wise and moving story about self-discovery tolerance, and second chances.

“CHICAGO” BROADWAY’S RAZZLE DAZZLE SMASH HIT
COMING TO THE ARSHT CENTER IN MIAMI
Velma Kelly is a glamourous cabaret singer awaiting trial for the murder of her philandering husband and twin sister in Cook County Jail. Having grown used to her infamy and celebrity status as the “wronged woman” she is furious when she finds herself upstaged by a seemingly innocent ingenue, chorus girl Roxie Hart, a firstly timid but later ambitious go-getter who threatens Velma’s carefully cultivated limelight.
With an equally ambitious and money-minded lawyer, Billy Flynn, the two women embark on a cold war of sorts, upstaging each other to reclaim the public’s love, and to escape the hangman’s noose.
Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by having Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.
This starts a battle over the charismatic Flynn’s attentions, which Velma and Roxie must complete to keep themselves off death row, and onto the stage where they believe their infamy will draw in the crowds. Throw into the mix a corrupt prison warden called Mama Morton, who accepts money in exchange for privileges, and their action behind bars heats up while their fellow prisoners are left to fend for themselves at the mercy of the public defenders.
There’s never been a better time to purchase tickets for Chicago. This musical hit is the recipient of six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy and thousands of standing ovations. The performance runs from May 8 to 13,2018, evenings at 8 p.m. Sunday at 1 and 7 p.m. in the Ziff Ballet and Opera House. Tickets start at $54 and up at the box office located at 1300 Biscayne Blvd., Miami. Information call 800-741-1010, or www.arshtcenter.org
