  • Stephen Sondheim
  • Andrew Lloyd Webber
  • Rodgers & Hammerstein
  • George Gershwin
  • Leonard Bernstein
  • Irving Berlin
  • and more

This celebration of musical theater is perfect for longtime fans and audiences hearing these timeless pieces for the first time. Think: Musicals like “Annie,” “Oklahoma!,” “Into the Woods,” and “Sweeney Todd.”

Catch the show on stage:

  • Friday, Sept. 12- Sunday, Sept. 14
  • Friday, Sept. 19- Saturday, Sept. 20

Bonus: Despite having “dinner” in its name, Downtown Dinner Theatre also offers brunch performances, including a self-service brunch buffet, desserts, coffee, tea, and more. Pro tip: Adult tickets for Dinner and Sunday Brunch are $62 with code 2025BROADWAY.
