musical, THE PRODUCERS once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous,
in-your-face humor. It is a truly “boffo” hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards and
wowing capacity crowds night after night in Mel Brooks’ laugh-out-loud spectacle.

DR. SEUSS’ HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL is the record-setting
Broadway holiday sensation which features the hit songs “You’re A Mean One Mr.

the true meaning of the holiday season.

“Old-fashioned, lavish showmanship.”
– Variety
Saturday, Feb 20 • 2PM
Sunday, Feb 21 • 1PM & 6:30PM
The quintessential backstage musical comedy classic, 42ND STREET is the
song and dance fable of Broadway with an “American Dream” story and
includes some of the greatest songs ever written, such as “We’re In The Money,”
“Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off To Buffalo,” “Dames,” “I Only Have Eyes For You”
and of course “42nd Street.”
Based on a novel by Bradford Ropes and Busby Berkeley’s 1933 movie, 42ND
STREET tells the story of a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer
who leaves her Allentown home and comes to New York to audition for the
new Broadway musical Pretty Lady. When the star breaks her ankle, Peggy
takes over and becomes a star.

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
Friday, October 16 • 8PM
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931)
Considered by many to be the first great
American horror film, John S. Robertson’s
DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE allowed stage
legend John Barrymore to deliver his first
virtuoso performance on film. Blending
historic charm with grim naturalism,
this version of DR. JEKYLL AND MR.
HYDE is one of the more faithful of the
many screen adaptations of Stevenson’s
story. Though greatly influenced by
T.R. Sullivan’s popular stage treatment,
it recounts a visionary scientist’s illfated attempts to unleash the human
mysteries that dwell beneath the shell of
the civilized self.

Resale of Tickets for Profit: Ticketholders
may on occasion be in a position where they
have purchased tickets that they later cannot
personally use and will want to donate,
give, trade or sell these tickets to friends

discourage private transactions of this nature.
However, we may take appropriate actions to
thwart the organized resale of tickets for profit
by third parties, which we do not condone. The
public is advised to be careful purchasing tickets
from individuals they do not know personally,
as such tickets may be void and in such cases
admission to the theatre will be denied without
compensation.

must have a valid ticket, and are not allowed to
stand in the back or aisles.

THEATRE ETIQUETTE
One of the biggest concerns expressed to The Hanover Theatre staff in our patron
surveys emailed after most shows, is something we have little control over, the
disruptions of other audience members. The theatre is taking this seriously by
developing a list of general guidelines to communicate to audience members in
order to ensure everyone enjoys their experience at The Hanover Theatre. Here are
some suggestions: • Audience members are part of the play or performance and are connected to other
people in the audience and on stage. Your attention and energy are integral to the
theatre experience, so please be respectful. • The overture is part of the performance and indicates that it is time to stop talking.
• Before coming to the theatre, use very little perfume or cologne as many people
are allergic to scents.
• If you plan to bring a child to a show, take the time to select the right show and to
prepare them to be quiet, sit still and not to disturb others around them.
