What mother wants her grown son to move back home so he can pursue his dream of being a stand-up comic? Certainly not Dorothea, who was enjoying her Florida retirement, living in Wilton Manors with her live-in-love and two girlfriends! Believe it or not, this is the REAL story of "The Golden Girls" -- who skyrocketed to fame in in 1985 with their hit TV show. Two years before they hit the airwaves, they were introduced to America by local playwright Ginger Reiter ("The Jackie Mason Musical"), who told their tale in her play at The Barcelona Hotel in Miami Beach. Ginger's hilarious show was hand-delivered to some Hollywood bigwigs -- and the next thing you know, the "Golden Girls" story was swept away from her. Come see "The Golden Girls" as they really were, with one outrageous scene updated by local playwright Ronnie Larsen. [less-]

There's a reason that British author Agatha Christie's is the best-selling mystery writer of all time -- her expertly-crafted whodunits have been confounding and delighting audiences for close to a century. And "The Mousetrap" is considered one of her true masterpieces. The story begins when a terrible snowstorm traps a group of strangers in a quaint boarding house.

This spellbinding murder mystery will keep you guessing right up until its famous twist ending. "The Mousetrap" opened in London's West End in 1952 and has been running continuously ever since.

What "Hamilton" did for the musical, "Porgy and Bess" did for opera. Led by the timeless, goosebumps-raising “Summertime,” George Gershwin’s score mashes up classical music, jazz, blues and spirituals for the world’s first “folk opera” and a distinctly American classic. What’s more, Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim called DuBose Heyward’s contribution "the best lyrics in the musical theater.” But it isn’t just songs like "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'" and “It Ain’t Necessarily So” that make "Porgy and Bess" a landmark. Its 1935 premiere featured a cast composed entirely of classically trained African-American singers to tell this story of black life in South Carolina's fictional Catfish Row. Find out why "Porgy and Bess" remains one of the most popular operas in the world with this South Florida Symphony Orchestra production at the Broward Center. [less-]

The stylish Manhattan apartment of Rose Weiss -- 1946. Although born in Poland, Rose, now in her 20s, came to the United States with her father, Mordechai, at the age of four and is now completely "Americanized." The plan had been for Rose's mother and sister to join the others, but the sister fell ill with scarlet fever, the mother stayed on to care for her, and soon the rise of the Nazis cut off their escape. Their ordeal in the concentration camps, which only the sister survived, has brought a burden of guilt to the aging Mordechai and deeply mixed feelings as he awaits the arrival of his elder daughter, Lusia, who has, at last, found her way to America. With her halting English and old world ways, Luisa is a striking contrast to Rose, who is somewhat embarrassed by her rediscovered sister's presence, and fearful that it will threaten her own hard-won independence. A powerful, haunting and deeply affecting portrait of a family, which conveys the aftermath of the Holocaust through a poignant, imaginatively conceived examination of one divided family's experience [less-]

Back in the swingin' 60s, charming yet doltish Francis has just been fired from his British pop band. Soon, he finds himself with two jobs and two new bosses (one a small-time gangster and the other an upper-class criminal) who happen to be connected to each other in wildly improbable ways. Mistaken identities, outrageous farce, love triangles and inspired lunacy ensue. A dazzling smash in London and New York -- "The Guardian" called it "a triumph of visual and verbal comedy" -- "One Man, Two Guvnors" now makes its way to Actor's Playhouse in Coral Gables. Get ready for a rollicking romp through a swirl of cross-dressing twins, dead fiancés, crooked lawyers and general buffoonery backed by a score that pays homage to rockabilly and a certain Fab Four.

Based on the 1968 film, Mel Brooks’s musical "The Producers" is a laugh-out-loud, outrageous, crowd-pleasing farce that has been a smash hit since its 2001 debut. Fading Broadway producer Max Bialystock is desperate to get to the top of his profession again, and he finds an unlikely ally in mousy accountant Leo Bloom, who hypothesizes that one could make far more money with a flop of a show than with a hit. Together, the two set out to produce the worst musical ever to hit Broadway, with the worst script, the worst director, and the worst cast they can find; the catch is that they will raise two million dollars to finance the show, and they plan to take the money and head to Rio when the show inevitably closes after just one performance. Too bad for Bialystock & Bloom that, against all odds, the show is a total hit! With dozens of big and bit parts alike, no shortage of show-stopping musical numbers, and Brooks’ signature humor keeping audiences in stitches, "The Producers" is definitely far from a flop.

From stunning displays of athleticism and impossible grace to expressions of sheer joy, dance has the ability to transcend words and cut straight to the human experience. Nobody knew that better than legendary choreographer Jerome Robbins, and in his "Dances at a Gathering", Robbins created a love letter to dance. The enchanting piano music of Chopin sets the mood for this Miami City Ballet production at the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale. Also on the program is a collaboration between Robbins and the equally iconic Twyla Tharp in a high-octane piece that’s “unlike anything in the ballet repertory” ("The New York Times"). [less-]
