Kander and Ebb's Tony award-winning musical about survival, identity, sacrifice, and love. A story where heroism is not defined by strength alone, but by the bravery to imagine, to trust, and to care in a world that punishes all three.

The original Broadway production won seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book Of A Musical and Best Original Score.

Due to a few unexpected technical surprises as we prepare for our Season 88 opener, Kiss Of The Spider Woman, we have made the decision to cancel the Friday evening, September 4th performance.

The show will now officially open on Saturday, September 5th.

We know changes like this can be disappointing, and we appreciate your understanding as we take the time necessary to ensure our production is ready to welcome you.

All ticket holders for the September 4th performance will be contacted directly via email by our Box Office to arrange an exchange for another performance.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support of Lakewood Playhouse. We can't wait to share Kiss Of The Spider Woman with you!
