The Tempest Starts At The Smith Center! World Premiere Starring Teller (Of Penn & Teller)

THE SMITH CENTER’S FIRST WORLD PREMIERE

April 1-4: Previews (Be part of the artistic process! Specially priced pre-opening performances. Tickets starting at $25.)

April 5: Opening Night Celebration (Premium priced VIP performance includes access to exclusive after party reception with cast and crew. All tickets $150.)

April 6-27: Public Performances (Tickets starting at $35.)

For details and ticketing information, please visit bit.ly/1jRVFeS

Award-winning playwright and director Aaron Posner has teamed with magician Teller (of Penn & Teller) for a stunning new adapation of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, The Tempest.

The story of a sorcerer who unleashes his magic on unsuspecting victims is the perfect vehicle for a famed magician like Teller. Unlike the typical performance, Teller’s Prospero will perform astounding acts of illusion on stage that will make you truly believe he is a powerful enchanter. Adding to the spectacle are the bluesy, world-weary songs of Tom Waits and the creative talents of Pilobolus dance company, whose creative contortions caused the New Yorker to call them “six of the most extraordinary people now performing.”

Teller himself boasts that it will be the most entertaining Tempest that ever was, and assures that you don’t have to be a Shakespeare fan to enjoy it (but Shakespeare-philes will appreciate it nonetheless). Co-produced by The Smith Center with American Repertory Theater, featuring Tom Nelis as Prospero, this timeless tale of love, loss, virtue and vengeance is destined to leave you breathless, bewitched and begging for more.

Now celebrating 13 smash-hit years and over 5,000 performances on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre, MAMMA MIA! is the 9th longest running show in Broadway history and one of only five musicals to have run for more than 10 years on Broadway.

On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they had last visited 20 years ago. Songs including “Dancing Queen,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me” are all featured in this feel-good night of fun and laughter.

With music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, MAMMA MIA! is written by Catherine Johnson, directed by Phyllida Lloyd and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast. The production is designed by Mark Thompson, with lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce and Bobby Aitken, and musical supervision, additional material and arrangements by Martin Koch.

MAMMA MIA! is produced by Judy Craymer, Richard East and Björn Ulvaeus for Littlestar in association with Universal.
