NEW TO THE ATLANTA STAGE
HAMILTON
CITIZEN’S MARKET
Hamilton is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton is the story of America then, as told by America now. With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.
A good small supermarket has everything its neighborhood needs, including a charming cast of characters behind the counter. Citizens Market follows a hopeful group of immigrants as they form an unlikely family, working to master the ups and downs of language, love, and staying afloat in the city. Full of laughter and life, this comedy-drama celebrates an evershifting and eclectic America. Moving, funny and ultimately uplifting…the American Dream is tantalizingly within reach one moment, and elusive the next.

RIPCORD
May 10 - June 3 Aurora Theatre, Lawrenceville, GA 678.226.6222 AuroraTheatre.com Ripcord is an uproariously funny new play. Battle lines are drawn at the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility when Crabby Abby won’t pay for a private room, but keeps her solitude with an impenetrable spite. That is until new roomie, the fiercely cheerful Marilyn, not only wants to stay, but is vying for Abby’s prime real estate by the window. To settle the score, a seemingly harmless bet reveals the tenacity of these worthy opponents and escalates into an outrageous game of one-upmanship. Starring Donna Discoe as Abby and Jill Jane Clements as Marilyn, this over-thetop comedy from Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lindsay-Abaire will have audiences evoking The Odd Couple meets The Golden Girls and laughing all the way.

Mamma Mia! fans, rejoice. After 50 soldout shows of the hit musical at Aurora Theatre, they are partnering with the Ferst Center for the Arts at Georgia Tech to bring the play to Midtown. It is a madcap story of a mother, a daughter, three possible dads and a trip down the aisle you'll never forget. Mamma Mia! combines the timeless tunes of super group ABBA with a sunny, funny tale that unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, Sophie's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back into her life for the first time in 20 years. This show has all of your favorite ABBA songs including “Dancing Queen”, “S.O.S” and “Take a Chance on Me,” plus non-stop laughs, and explosive dance numbers.
