Book by DANNY RUBINMusic & Lyrics by TIM MINCHIN
Inspired by the beloved film starring Bill Murray, Groundhog Day is a Broadway and West End smash hit musical.
Phil Connors is a pretty awful guy.

Nominated in 2017 for seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and eight Olivier awards – Join Landmark as we bring this hilarious musical parable of love, hope, and renewal to Southern California.
Bright Star
May-June, 2025
Music, Book, & Story by STEVE MARTINMusic, Lyrics, & Story by EDIE BRICKELL
Broadway’s ‘shining achievement’ Bright Star is a musical about the stories we tell….and the ones we don’t.
Inspired by a real event and featuring the Tony-Nominated Score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickel, this enchanting musical tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and 40s. This rich tapestry weaves together two chapters in the life of literary editor, Alice Murphy. When Alice meets a young soldier just home from World War II, their unique connection sets her on a journey to understand her past – what she discovers has the power to transform both of their lives.

A New Musical
Tales from the Comic Book Crackdown
Oct 4-6, 2024
by BEN DICKOW and RAY HEDGPETH
Tales From the Comic Book Crackdown is a new musical that brings to life the dramatic Senate hearings on Juvenile Delinquency of April 21, 1954, which were designed to bring down the comic book industry.
Bill Gaines, the most successful comic book publisher of his day, was the sole witness to come forward and testify on behalf of comic books and free expression. Despite his best efforts, the authorities carried the day, and Bill almost lost everything.
This forgotten American story is brought to life in a major new musical, complete with show-stopping tunes, projections of classic EC Comics’ art, and a real life twist ending.
A Play with Music
The Christians
February, 2025
by LUCAS HNATH
A big-little play about faith in America – and the trouble with changing your mind.
Pastor Paul has spent 20 years growing his church from a small storefront to a gleaming megachurch, but on this day of celebration he will deliver a new message that will shake the foundation of everything he has built. Lucas Hnath’s play looks with great complexity and compassion at the relationship between belief and behavior. The Christians, a play with full live choir, compels a conversation about faith in America, its power to unite or divide, and the moments that change our hearts.
