Musical

The State Fair Community College Theater Arts program has taken on their biggest musical to date with the Mel Brooks show, "Young Frankenstein." This monster musical comedy is based on the Oscar-nominated smash-hit 1974 film of the same name written by Brooks and Gene Wilder and is a parody of the horror film genre and especially the 1931 adaption of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” The st

Sacred Heart High School performed 'Annie The Musical' at the Smith-Cotton Jr. High School on Friday, March 21 and Saturday, March 22. I remember  watching the movie a lot as a kid in the early 1980s, and it was great to get the chance to see the production on stage for the first time.

9 to 5: The Musical is a musical based on the 1980 movie of the same name, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. The Liberty Center here in Sedalia started their run of this great show last week. The show's plot follows the same as the famous movie that a lot of us saw and loved!

I'm sure many of us remember the fun '80s comedy '9 to 5.'  It starred Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Dabney Coleman. Now there's a great musical adaptation, done by Ms. Parton herself, and the best part is that you can see it right here in Sedalia, presented by the fine folks at the Liberty Center.

So it has come to this: 2015 will see not only the 30th anniversary of 'Back to the Future,' but a stage musical adaptation that will premiere in London's West End with an eye towards a Broadway debut in 2016. This is no cheap knock-off either. This version of the enormously popular film has several of the original's key players heavily involved in the production.

Take a trip to 1960 for the funniest installment yet of the 'Church Basement Ladies.' It's coming to the Liberty Center here in Sedalia for a one-time performance on Tuesday, Jan. 28. This show is a hilarious romp from the past that resonates with audiences of today.  If you've heard of the show or if you haven't, you'll find something to like.

Chicago's theater scene will get a dose of heavy rock 'n' roll next year, when 'Dee Snider's Rock & Roll Christmas Tale' will premiere at the Broadway Playhouse during the 2014 holiday season.

The Great American Trailer Park Musical had their season opener at The Liberty Center Association for the Arts on Thursday to a huge reaction. It's still playing, and you shouldn't miss out on your chance to see it!

After playing London's West End for more than a decade and selling 15 million tickets worldwide, 'We Will Rock You' -- the "rock theatrical" produced in conjunction with Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor -- will finally tour North America for the first time.

Something big is coming to the Liberty Center.  This October they're going to be presenting the Great American Trailer Park Musical.  Fred Norman, the director of the show, came in to talk to us about getting YOU to audition!
