& Juliet
Created by the Emmy®-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek,” this comedic pop musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. The musical asks, “What would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo?” Follow her on the Orpheum stage as she trades her tragic finale for a bold new beginning, and a second chance at life and love, on her own terms.

If Scrooge Was a Brother
Don’t end up on Scrooge's bad side — Hattiloo presents a seasonal, urban spin of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, where the infamous ghosts and characters are icons of Black culture. Eb Scroo is seeking to snuff out the season’s cheer by demanding all debts owed him be satisfied on Christmas Eve!
