Hamilton Family Theatre Cambridge Announces 2024 Season
October 5, 2023
Drayton Entertainment's Artistic Director Alex Mustakas today announced the 2024 Season for the Hamilton Family Theatre Cambridge.
“This is an exciting season filled with entertaining shows for theatregoers at every stage of life,” says Mustakas. “From hit Broadway musicals like Jersey Boys, to laugh-a-minute comedies, to a show stopping holiday musical, there really is something for the whole family!”
The 2024 Season in Cambridge opens with the Tony®, Grammy®, and Olivier Award-winning musical, Jersey Boys. This international phenomenon takes you behind the scenes – and behind the music – of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons as they work their way to the heights of stardom, thrilling audiences with electrifying performances of chart-topping hits like “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Sherry,” “Walk Like A Man,” “Too Good To Be True,” and more. Don’t miss this worldwide phenomenon that will leave you exclaiming, “Oh, What a Night!” This Broadway blockbuster runs from March 27 to April 21.
Taking the stage next is Steel Magnolias, a delightfully entertaining comedy that explores the dynamics of life, love, and laughter in a small-town Louisiana beauty parlour as six southern women learn to embrace the future – and all of its uncertainties. This bittersweet comedy will be on stage from June 19 to July 6.
The feel-good blockbuster Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical is on stage July 24 to August 10. With a spectacular array of outrageous costumes, flamboyant choreography, and a hit parade of dancefloor favourites including “It’s Raining Men,” “I Will Survive,” and many more, this wildly fresh and funny musical is a journey to the heart of FABULOUS!
Continuing this show-stopping lineup of productions is A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, a murderous musical comedy filled with unforgettable music and non-stop laughs! Winner of the Tony Award® for Best Musical, this hilarious whodunit follows a penniless clerk who, after learning that he’s eighth in line for an earldom, sets off down a sinister path, knocking off his relatives one by one. This production runs October 16 to November 3.
Concluding the 2024 Season in Cambridge is Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, a lavish spectacle for the entire family! “Happy Holidays,” “Blue Skies,” and the ever popular “White Christmas” will fill audiences with the joy of the season from December 4 to December 29.
The Hamilton Family Theatre Cambridge is located at 46 Grand Ave. S, Cambridge N1S 2L8.
