“This summer, we look forward to continuing the annual tradition of spectacular theatre in our magical outdoor setting with our faithful and supportive TUTS audience, whether families, friends, or passionate theatre-goers,” said Woo in a release.
“This year’s season is full of heart, hope, mischief, and merriment, featuring two of Broadway’s smash hits: the big-hearted comedy, The Prom, and the fast-paced family adventure, Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical.
“Audiences will be moved by both musicals’ warmth and optimism – and their ultimate promise that love always prevails.”

The Prom will transport audiences to a small-town high school to meet four down-on-their-luck Broadway actors and Emma, a teen whose prom was cancelled because she planned to attend with her girlfriend. The actors try to help Emma but their plans soon go awry in this tale about searching for a place to belong.
Theatre-goers can also take a trip to a cozy English village during Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical. They will get to know a bright little girl who uses her whimsical storytelling abilities to “fight for the right to be a little bit naughty” against her self-absorbed parents and tyrannical headmistress.
