More hits than anyone can count. Record sales None other than The Guess Who, a group that’s connected with the masses for decades
well into the multi-millions. And a roller coaster with a virtual hit parade spanning fourteen Top 40 hits, including “These Eyes,” “Clap
ride of electric instrumentation, timeless For the Wolfman,” “Hand Me Down World,” “No Time,” “Star Baby” and “Share
balladry, unpredictable jamming. It’s the the Land.” Add in classics and double sided singles like their #1 rock anthem “American
ultimate sing-a-long experience. Guess who? Woman” and “No Sugar Tonight,” plus “Laughing” and “Undun,” and the Canadian
bred stateside conquerors are among rock music’s most indelible treasures, eternally etched
within the very fabric of pop culture history.

“Happy music made by happy people.” That’s how The New York
Times described performances by Herb Alpert and his wife Lani
Hall. Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer trumpeter
Alpert boasts 15 Gold albums and more than 72 million records
sold. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass propelled his sound into
the pop music limelight, at one point outselling the Beatles two
to one. Alpert also guided A&M Records (with partner Jerry
Moss) from a Hollywood garage operation into one of the most
successful independent record labels in music history. Stars
included Janet Jackson, Quincy Jones, Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66,
Stan Getz, Cat Stevens, Supertramp, The Carpenters, Carole King,
Sheryl Crow, Peter Frampton, The Police and scores of others.
Lani Hall was the lead singer of Sergio Mendes’ group, Brasil ’66,
and wrote the English lyrics for the band’s Brazilian songs. She
won a Grammy for producing Alpert’s Steppin’ Out album and
another for “Best Latin Pop Performance” on her “Es Fácil Wednesday
Amar” album. In 1966, A&M Records signed Brasil ’66 and
Lani met her future husband, music legend, Herb Alpert. 9/14/22

NON-STOP MAGIC FOR
THE WHOLE FAMILY!
After twenty years as a Master of
Bubbles, in 2007 Fan Yang brought his
unique brand of bubble artistry to the
Big Apple and has since wowed bubble
lovers of all ages. The Gazillion Bubble
Show truly is a family affair for Fan: his
wife Ana, son Deni, daughter Melody,
and brother Jano all can be found on
stage in New York and around the
world performing their bubble magic.
Audiences are delighted with an
unbubblievable experience, awashed
with a bubble tide, and some even find
themselves INSIDE a bubble. Mind-
blowing bubble magic, spectacular
laser lighting effects, and momentary
soapy masterpieces will make you
smile, laugh, and feel like a kid again.

After 25 years, CHICAGO is still the one musical with everything
that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame,
fortune, and all that jazz, with one show stopping song after
another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.
No wonder CHICAGO has been honored with 6 Tony Awards®,
2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy®, and thousands of standing
ovations. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary —you’ve got to
come see why the name on everyone’s lips is still...CHICAGO.

been knocking it out of the park – or
concert hall – all around the U.S. for
over 20 years. Renowned as a crafty
songwriter and charismatic performer,
her songs have been recorded by
Tom Jones and Michael Feinstein,
Broadway stars Betty Buckley and
Christine Ebersole, and countless other
individuals and ensembles.

1313The one and only Cirque Dreams
Holidaze has been hailed by the
New York Daily News as “A delicious
confection of charm, sparkle and
talent by the sleigh load.” It’s a Monday
show everyone will enjoy,” raved
BroadwayWorld of the sold-out 11/28/22
performances that “dazzled…at 7:30 p.m.
The Kennedy Center,” Washington
Post. The Tennessean proclaimed it
“A dazzling Holidaze Spectacle…for
both young and old” at the Grand
Ole Opry House.
As lights dim and music plays, a
fantastical cast of holiday storybook
characters come to life presenting an
elaborate wonderland, invoking the
stories behind a child’s eye as they
dream on the most magical of nights.
Ballerinas, nutcrackers, snowmen,
penguins, reindeer, ethereal aerialists,
gingerbread people, carolers and
colossal ornaments fly, balance,
juggle and stretch imaginations.
14Holiday Special:
Christmas in the Movies
Enjoy a festive evening with the Konza and Bluestem Choirs, with
special guests from Bates Dance Studio and Little Apple Aerials. The
Sunday evening will also feature Manhattan area string players and Grammy-
winning vocal soloist Dr. Bryan Pinkall, Associate Professor of Music at
12/11/22 Kansas State University.
7 p.m. The mission of the Flint Hills Children’s Choir is to provide excellence in
choral music instruction and performance for children and to provide
enrichment in the arts for Manhattan and surrounding communities.
Based in Manhattan, Kansas, the Flint Hills Children’s Choir was founded
in 2015 by long-time colleagues and friends, Janie Brokenicky and Janet
Armstead. The first choir, comprised of 28 5th-9th grade singers, quickly
expanded to two treble-voiced choirs (Bluestem and Konza) spanning
grades 3-10. Students in the Choir currently represent the communities
of Clay Center, Manhattan, Olsburg, Riley, St. George, Wamego, and
Westmoreland. The choir has performed in notable venues such as
Carnegie Hall and The Kauffman Center and has appeared with the
Wichita Grand Opera, Wichita Symphony Orchestra, Six Flags Choral
Music Festival, and traveled to Scotland in the summer of 2022.

greatest albums and recreates them live on stage - note for note,

She shot to national prominence in 2006 as a finalist on the
CBS show Rock Star: Supernova, where despite having been
eliminated in the week before the finale, Storm built a fan
base that follows her around the world.
Storm made her debut as guest vocalist with the band Pink
Martini in April 2011, singing four sold-out concerts with
the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in
Washington, DC. Recent engagements include debuts with
the Philly Pops, members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
and the Seattle Symphony, as well as return engagements
with the Houston, Detroit, Toronto, and BBC Symphonies;
the New York Pops; and the Louisville Orchestra, with whom
she recorded the 2017 album All In. In the fall of 2014, Storm
& Le Bonheur released a record designed to capture their
sublime and subversive interpretations of the American
Songbook. Entitled simply Le Bonheur,¬ the recording
is a collection of tortured and titillating love songs:
beautiful, familiar, yet twisted …
much like the lady herself.

21The passion of youthful love is never more vivid than
in Romeo and Juliet, arguably Shakespeare’s most
beloved and well-known work. Alternating between
laugh-out-loud comedy, exuberant romance, and
wrenching tragedy, Romeo and Juliet features
Shakespeare’s greatest romantic pairing: a star-
crossed duo whose passion careens into disaster.
Populated with immortal characters, high drama,
and Shakespeare’s most famed passages, Romeo
and Juliet is as powerful as ever. The feud between
two dynastic families is put to the ultimate test
when Romeo, of the Montague family, and Juliet,
of the Capulets, fall deeply into love. Prevented
from marrying by their warring families yet unable
to turn away from each other, the lovers embark
on a dangerous plan to secretly wed, leading to
unexpected yet devastating consequences.
Founded in 1975, Actors From The London Stage
(AFTLS) is one of the oldest touring Shakespeare
theatre companies in the world. Housed and
workshopped in the UK and based in the United
States at Shakespeare at Notre Dame, this intensive
residency program is truly one of a kind. The
company presents residencies at approximately
16-18 universities per year. These one-week visits
present students and faculty with an opportunity to Saturday
experience a cross-disciplinary, in-depth, and dynamic
set of workshops, further enhanced by performances 2/11/23

Lucy Loves Desi: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way
to the Sitcom is the hilarious and true story behind one
of America’s most beloved TV comedies. Lucille Ball
paved the way for many of today’s top comediennes,
while forcing Hollywood to begin dealing with the
rising power and influence of women artists both
on-screen and behind the scenes. Her iconic series, I
Love Lucy, remains one of the most groundbreaking
and influential shows in television history. Playwright
Gregg Oppenheimer—son of I Love Lucy creator Jess
Oppenheimer— spins this witty, fast-paced tale of Lucy
and Desi’s battles with CBS over the pioneering ideas
that changed the face of television forever.
23In 1972, a group of young artists made history by creating an
orchestra without a conductor in which musicians led themselves
democratically. Since then, the Grammy award-winning Orpheus
Chamber Orchestra has recorded over 70 albums on all major
classical labels, toured to 46 countries across four continents,
and collaborated with hundreds of world-class soloists. Orpheus’
34-member musicians work together as a collective and
rotate leadership roles for all works performed, giving flight to
unconventional interpretations.
Combining exceptional lyricism and insight with consummate
technique, Alessio Bax is without a doubt “among the most
remarkable young pianists now before the public” (Gramophone).
Awarded the Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2009, he catapulted to
prominence with First Prize wins at both the Leeds and Hamamatsu
International Piano Competitions, and is now a familiar face on
five continents, not only as a recitalist and chamber musician,
but also as a concerto soloist who has appeared with more than
150 orchestras, including the London, Royal, and St. Petersburg
Philharmonic Orchestras, the New York, Boston, Dallas, Cincinnati,
Seattle, Sydney, and City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestras,
and the NHK Symphony in Japan, collaborating with such eminent
conductors as Marin Alsop, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Sir Andrew
Davis, Fabio Luisi, Sir Simon Rattle, Yuri Temirkanov, and Jaap van
Zweden. He was invited to join the piano faculty of Boston’s New
England Conservatory in the fall of 2019.
