Priscilla Queen of the Desert, January 29-February 10, 2013
Bette Midler proudly presents the most outrageously fun Broadway musical: PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE
DESERT! This spectacular show tells the uplifting story of a trio of friends on a road trip of a lifetime, who hop aboard a
battered old bus searching for love and friendship in the middle of the Australian outback and end up finding more than

PRISCILLA features a hit parade of dance-floor favorites including “It's Raining Men,” “Finally” and “I Will Survive.”
The Book of Mormon, February 19-March 3, 2013
Nine 2011 Tony Awards® say it's the Best Musical of the Year. Vogue says, “It's the funniest musical of all
time.” And The New York Times says, “It's the best musical of this century.” It's THE BOOK OF MORMON, the
Broadway phenomenon from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q co-creator Robert Lopez.
The Daily Show's Jon Stewart calls it “A crowning achievement. So good, it makes me angry.” Contains explicit
language.
War Horse, March 13-24, 2013
Winner of 5 2011 Tony Awards®, including Best Play, WAR HORSE is a remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and
friendship set in England in 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry
and shipped from England to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey.
This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal
inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-sized puppets created by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company,
that bring to life breathing, galloping, charging horses strong enough for men to ride. WAR HORSE is being presented
by The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis and will be offered as a special to their subscribers.
Million Dollar Quartet, April 23-May 5, 2013
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is the Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical, inspired by the electrifying true
story of the famed recording session that brought together rock ‘n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis
and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. On December 4, 1956, these four young musicians were gathered together
by Sam Phillips, the “Father of Rock ’n’ Roll” at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam
sessions of all time. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life with an irresistible tale of broken
promises, secrets, betrayal and celebrations featuring timeless hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Great Balls
of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” “Hound Dog” and more.
Anything Goes, May 28-June 9, 2013
All aboard for this saucy and splendid production of Roundabout Theatre Company’s ANYTHING GOES.

Revival and Choreography. One of the greatest musicals in theater history, Cole Porter’s first-class musical comedy is
sailing to St. Louis, while it continues a triumphant run on Broadway. When the S.S. American heads out to sea,
etiquette and convention get tossed out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love. Peppering
this timeless classic are some of musical theater’s most memorable standards, including “I Get a Kick Out of You,”
“You’re the Top” and of course, “Anything Goes.”
