The 2024-25 theatre season at City Springs Theatre Company will offer something for everyone.
The season starts with The Wedding Singer, a musical based on the popular Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore film, playing June 27-29. With music by Matthey Sklar and a book by Chad Beguelin and Tim Herlihy, the story follows Robbie Hart, a wedding singer in New Jersey circa 1985, who can’t seem to find romance of his own. Things change when he meets and befriends Julia, a waitress planning on her own wedding to a Wall Street broker. Can these two find love?
Next up is Jersey Boys, playing July 12 through Aug. 11. With music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe, the fan-favorite, Tony Award-winning musical follows the evolution of four blue-collar kids who became one of the greatest successes in pop-music history— Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.
From Sept. 6-22, Meredith Willson’s The Music Man will hit the stage. Directed by Tony Award-winner Shuler Hensley, the Broadway classic tells the story of a con-man who looks to swindle his latest small town, but finds a beautiful piano teacher may change his ways.
Families will fall in love with Frozen: The Musical, making its regional premiere Dec. 13-29. With music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez and based on the Disney animated phenomenon film, the musical features favorite tunes such as “Let It Go,” “Do You Want To Build a Snowman,” “For The First Time In Forever” and “In Summer.” It also has more than a dozen songs written specifically for the theatre production.
Next up is Ragtime: The Musical, March 14-30. With a book by Terrence McNally, music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, the Tony Award-winning musical is based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together—an upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant, and a daring young Harlem musician.
The season ends with the story of the legendary Carole King in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, May 2-18. With a book by Douglas McGrath, the show tells the story of King and her rise to fame with hit songs such as “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “You’ve Got a Friend” and “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.”
