RIDERS IN THE SKY
Two-time Grammy-winners Riders in the Sky are truly exceptional. By definition, empirical data, and critical acclaim, they stand “hats & shoulders” above the rest of the purveyors of C & W – “Comedy & Western!” For thirty years Riders in the Sky have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing the genre. And while remaining true to the integrity of Western music, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding the genre with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit, and all along encouraging buckaroos and buckarettes to live life "The Cowboy Way!"
Main Event Season Tickets on sale now. Individual tickets for Riders in the Sky go on sale at 9 am on Aug. 18, 2008.

INTO THE WOODS
Book by: James Lapine Lyrics by: Stephen Sondheim Music by: Stephen Sondheim Based on Classic Fairy Tales
An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch...who raps? They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale. What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of “The Princess Bride” becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children. One of Sondheim's most popular works, this timeless yet relevant piece is a rare modern classic. Tickets on sale September 15. (Rated PG)

RUTHIE FOSTER with special guest Carrie Rodriguez
It’s time you meet Ruthie Foster, this prodigiously gifted singer and songwriter from Texas and New York Times “New Faces for ‘07” pick. For over a decade Foster has brought her powerhouse voice together with songs she has crafted mixing contemporary folk with old-school gospel and blues, and most recently, “an honest to goodness classic soul album.” Foster has been compared to Lucinda Williams, Ella Fitzgerald, Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin and others. Visit www.ruthiefoster.com
Not yet 30 years old, with a critically-acclaimed solo record and several well-received duet records in her wake, Carrie Rodriguez is a classically trained fiddle-toting, mandoguitar-slinging Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter just beginning to flex her artistic muscles with a just-released CD 'She Ain't Me'. MOJO Magazine says Carrie is "hot and steamy one minute and pure Nashville the next."

ANNIE
Book by: Thomas Meehan Lyrics by: Martin Charnin Music by: Charles Strouse
Annie is a spunky Depression-era orphan determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With its upbeat ending, a bright tuneful score which has become a part of the nation's musical heritage, a cast of characters, including a classic villainess audiences love to hate, it's no wonder this heartwarming show has become an international sensation. Tickets on sale November 3. (Rated G)

This concert, a celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Blue Note legacy, features an all-star band of some of the finest jazz musicians today. Main Event Season Tickets on sale now.

JEKYLL & HYDE
Conceived for the Stage by: Steve Cuden & Frank Wildhorn Book and Lyrics by: Leslie Bricusse Music by: Frank Wildhorn Based on the story by Robert Louis Stevenson
Jekyll & Hyde is pure pulse-pounding theatre, with that same macabre combination of fun and fright that fuels such classics as Sweeney Todd and The Phantom of the Opera, and a lush, romantic pop score that includes the hit songs This Is The Moment and Someone Like You. An evocative tale of the epic battle between good and evil, Jekyll & Hyde is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart. A true musical theatre phenomenon, Jekyll & Hyde attracted legions of loyal fans even before the show began its smash-hit Broadway run. Tickets on sale April 6, 2009. (Rated PG)
