Filled with vibrant music, high-energy choreography, and unforgettable characters, In the Heights is a joyful celebration of family, culture, and community.

“At its core, In the Heights is about community,” said Artistic Director Daniel Eilola. “It's about the people who know your name, the sacrifices families make for one another, and the dreams that connect us across generations.”

Performances started on July 17 and ending on August 2 at Lake Worth Playhouse located at 713 Lake Avenue Lake Worth Beach, FL. Tickets can be purchased on the theater's website or by calling (561) 586-6410.

"Our Town" at the Lake Worth Playhouse

Off today to see the show, Our Town"

About the Show:

A landmark in American drama, Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town tells the story of a small town, Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, to tell us the story of every town, the whole world over.

Narrated by the “Stage Manager”, we follow the Gibbs and Webb families, residents of Grover’s Corners, through twelve years of life and its changes. Wilder delivers universal truths about what it means to be human. With humor, wit, and exceptionally powerful storytelling, Our Town offers a unique opportunity for audience members to make precisely that realization.

“Beautiful and remarkable, one of the sagest, warmest and most deeply human scripts to have come out of our theatre… A spiritual experience.” – New York Post

Little Shop of Horrors

Lake Worth Playhouse

Katie and I are at the Playhouse today to see this musical comedy:

Meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out-of-this-world origins and intent towards global domination!

A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world.

One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows, Little Shop of Horrors, this charmingly tongue-in-cheek musical comedy has delighted audiences worldwide.

The Original Cast, 1968 - Let the Sunshine In

At the Lake Worth Playhouse today

ABOUT THE SHOW:

A scheming producer and his mousy accountant aim to produce the biggest flop on Broadway in Mel Brooks’ laugh-out-loud spectacle. Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film. Now, as a big musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly “boffo” hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night.

With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender!”

Come to the Lake Worth Playhouse in Lake Worth Beach to see the first third of Neil Simon’s bittersweet, semi-autobiographical trilogy.

It is 1937 and Simon lives with his family in this coming-of-age story in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up.

Matinees start at 2 p.m. and evening performances start at 8 p.m. The play runs Nov. 22 -Dec. 1 and is approximately two hours long including a 15 minute intermission.

Part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Eugene Jerome, standing in for the author, is the narrator and central character.

Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity, served up Simon-style.

This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where, as his father states “if you didn’t have a problem, you wouldn’t be living here.”

At "The Prom" today

Lake Worth Playhouse

October 4 - 20, 2024

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue…and themselves.

The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance straight and narrow, but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to transform lives, Broadway’s brassiest join forces with a courageous girl and the town’s citizens and the result is love that brings them all together.

Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, THE PROM expertly captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever.
