Thingamajig Theatre’s 2025 Summer Season includes three exciting hit Broadway musicals.
Season tickets are $120 per person. Reserved seats are $210 per person. With each Season Ticket you may attend each of the three summer shows one time on a date of your choosing (unless of course you join us on Opening Weekends and in doing so activate your Free Come Again Ticket).
‘Something Rotten!’
Runs May 30-August 30
A musical comedy about two playwright brothers in Elizabethan England who are struggling to compete with the huge success of their contemporary and rival William Shakespeare. It was nominated for 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and won one.
“Something Rotten!” is famous for its nimble word play, clever historical references and satirical humor. One reviewer called it “pure escapist entertainment,” writing, “It’s hilarious, witty, filled with kitschy dialogue, clever jokes, catchy songs and over-the-top characters that you’ll instantly fall in love with.” Theatre lovers will especially enjoy one of its songs that has been called “a crash course on classic show tunes and Broadway musicals” because in the nearly eight-minute-long piece there are at least 20 different references to famous Broadway scores.
“The Wild Party”
Runs July 13-August 24
Adapted from an epic narrative poem written in and about the Roaring Twenties, ‘The Wild Party’ tells the story of one wild evening in the Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie and Burrs, a vaudeville dancer and a vaudeville clown. In a relationship marked by reckless behavior, mirroring the time in which they live, they decide to throw an extravagant Gatsby-like party to end all parties.
“The Wild Party” is a steamy, thought-provoking prohibition tale about self-indulgence and decadence. It was nominated for seven Tonys including best musical, book and original score.
A musical comedy that one reviewer called “a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music and non-stop laughs.” It was the most nominated show of the 2014 season, with 10 Tony nominations and four wins including best musical, book, direction and costumes.
“Gentlemen’s Guide” is about a low-born Englishman who learns he is ninth in line for an earldom so he creates a plan to get rid of the eight heirs in his way. The New York Times said it features a “conniving killer who helps turn murder most foul into entertainment most merry…. Despite the high body count, this delightful show will lift the hearts of all those who’ve been pining for what sometimes seems a lost art form: musicals that match streams of memorable melody with witty turns of phrase.”
