Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award®-winning musical phenomenon, Les Misérables, makes a triumphant return to Tampa. This brilliant staging has taken the world by storm and has been hailed as “a reborn dream of a production” (Daily Telegraph). Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption – a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. The magnificent score of Les Misérables includes the songs “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More” and many more.

Adapted from S.E. Hinton’s seminal novel and Frances Ford Coppola’s iconic film, this thrilling new musical features a book by Adam Rapp with Justin Levine, music and lyrics by Jamestown Revival (Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance) and Justin Levine, music supervision, orchestration and arrangements by Justin Levine, choreography by Rick Kuperman and Jeff Kuperman and direction by Tony Award® winner Danya Taymor. Entertainment Weekly says, "It has the power to inspire an entire generation."

The Outsiders

A stranger arrives in town only to find that everyone knows their name but thinks they’re someone else. In this fairy tale of a farce believed to be one of the Shakespeare’s earliest, everyday miracles, mistaken identity, and double double (oh what trouble!) vision makes for a brisk evening of laughs!

The Comedy Of Errors

Straz Center’s Opera Tampa is proud to welcome one of the world’s most celebrated sopranos. Renée Fleming has performed in the world’s finest opera houses as well as at the Super Bowl, Buckingham Palace and the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. Her most recent recital and concert program, Voice of Nature – The Anthropocene, inspired by her Grammy Award®-winning album of the same name, is an expression of her love of nature and her concerns for the planet or, in her words, “this theme of nature as both our inspiration and our victim.” The performance features music ranging from classical to contemporary, and will include a National Geographic-produced film spotlighting the beauty of the natural world. A tireless advocate for the powerful impacts of arts in health, last year she published Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Well-being.

The name Blue Man Group tells you who you’ll see – three men with skin painted blue – but doesn’t tell you what you’ll see, which would require a much longer name. Art, music, comedy and non-verbal communication are among the tools the aforementioned cerulean trio use in a performance that celebrates connections with people and the world around us.

The Blue Man Group

& Juliet

Comic book creators George and Harold have reached fifth grade and are ready for a challenge: making a musical based on one of their characters, Dog Man, a part-human, part-canine crime fighter. No problem, right? No. There are problems, all right, and that’s what fuels this charming stage adaptation of the popular children’s book series, which is itself a spin-off of Captain Underpants, all from the mind and pen of author Dav Pilkey.

Dog Man: The Musical

FADE IN: The open ocean, 1974. Filming is delayed … again. The lead actors — theatre veteran Robert Shaw and young Hollywood hotshots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider — are crammed into a too-small boat, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. Alcohol flows, egos collide, and tempers flare on a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic … if it doesn’t sink them all.

The Shark Is Broken

Hell's Kitchen

The most Tony Award®-winning show of the year. The most Tony Award-nominated play of all time. Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough. Written by David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin and featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, Stereophonic invites the audience to immerse themselves — with fly-on-the-wall intimacy — in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.
