Rocky Balboa is a legend worldwide, but Philly is his home. Now Rocky’s inspirational story comes home—and to life on the Walnut stage—in ROCKY, the Musical! Small-time boxer Rocky Balboa gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to go from loan shark enforcer to heavyweight titleholder, but does this ultimate underdog have what it takes? Based on the Academy Award-winning film, ROCKY features new musical numbers, along with favorites including “Eye of the Tiger” and “Gonna Fly Now.” ROCKY, the Musical is a heart-pumping romance, and a heart-stopping theatrical experience for everyone brave enough to follow their dreams.
Based on the beloved Hans Christian Andersen story and the classic film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful story of love and letting go. Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter, challenges her father’s authority as she dreams of finding her own way in the world above the sea. But what will she give up to fulfill her dreams of independence? Disney’s The Little Mermaid will capture your heart with its timeless story and irresistible songs, including "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl" and "Part of Your World." Disney’s The Little Mermaid promises to be one of the most spectacular productions ever staged at the Walnut!
To gather background for his new book, novelist Charles Condomine and his second wife, Ruth, invite the extremely eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, to perform a séance. But Charles’ spiritual skepticism vanishes when the ghost of his deceased first wife, Elvira, accidentally materializes—but only to him. Elvira’s still in love and wants Charles back, and is not about to let a little thing like death stand in her way! From the delightfully wicked mind of Noël Coward comes Blithe Spirit, where love and marriage devolve into laughter and mayhem – and ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ no longer applies.
Arthur Miller’s Pulitzer Prize-winning story of love and sacrifice takes us on a uniquely, and unforgettable, American journey. Willy Loman, a salesman whose best days have passed, cannot understand how he failed to win success and happiness. Through soul-searching revelations of the life he has lived with his wife, his sons, and his business associates, we discover how his quest for the American Dream blinded him to those who truly love him. Death of a Salesman is a thrilling work of deep and revealing beauty that remains one of the most profound dramas of the American theatre.
ON YOUR FEET! is the inspiring true story about heart, heritage, and two people in love who believed in their talent, music—and each other—to become an international sensation: Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Now their story heats up the Walnut stage in an exhilarating theatrical experience that celebrates some of the most iconic songs of the past quarter-century, including “Rhythm is Gonna Get You,” “Conga,” “Get On Your Feet,”—and one of the most inspiring stories in music history. Get ready to be ON YOUR FEET!
