A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, How To Succeed In Business without Really Trying follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook called "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive.

With such memorable classics such as "A Spoonful of Sugar," and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," you're sure to enjoy this magical musical with everyone's favorite "practically perfect" nanny! The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she teaches the family how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren't the only ones she has a profound effect upon. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it." No Thursday performances will be available for Mary Poppins

When the reverend's rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren's reputation. With the rockin' rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, FOOTLOOSE celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

Candlelight's Staged Musical Reading Series
Mr. President
$20.00
May 24 - May 25 For his final Broadway score, Irving Berlin went straight to the top-the exalted office of President of the United States-to evoke the humanity within the First Family. President Stephen Decatur Henderson is en route to Russia when the proposed Soviet tour is canceled. Although a breach of protocol, he determines to land in Moscow nonetheless and the resulting humiliation costs him re-election. While his wife and two children are grateful to return home, the former President is not. He yearns to return to political life but when the offer of a Senate seat comes with compromising conditions attached, he turns it down. His love of country is primary though, and eventually he proudly returns to government at the behest of the new president. Tickets are $20.00 each. Doors open at 6:45pm with 7:30pm curtain for this performance. Show Only Performance. No meal is included, but desserts and beverages are available for purchase.
Assassins
$20.00
October 4 - October 5 A Musical by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheim's signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation's culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America's four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing, and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, inter and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream. Tickets are $20.00 each. Doors open at 6:45pm with 7:30pm curtain for this performance. Show Only Performance. No meal is included, but desserts and beverages are available for purchase.

Our group representative will send you a contract. Then two weeks prior to your show date (one month prior for the holiday production) you are required to give an exact count of how many will be attending and pay the remaining balance.* When you arrive at the Theatre your group will go directly into the theatre and simply give your group name to the host or hostess at the podium. He or she will then take your group to their appropriate seats. If you would like your seating specified by attendee names you need need to send a seating chart one day in advance. As a group you have the privilege of pre-selecting "extras" in the theatre at a discounted rate.
