The groundbreaking musical written by Lin-Manuel Miranda almost needs no introduction.

“Anastasia” runs from Feb. 25-27.
Based on the 1997 animated film, “Anatasia” adapts the legend of Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia. The Morrison Center website says, “this dazzling show transports us from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s.” Tickets for this show will go on sale in the near future.
“Dear Evan Hansen” runs from June 21-26.
“Dear Evan Hansen” was recently adapted into a feature film. The original musical won the Tony award for Best Musical in 2017 and continues to be loved by many.
