Broadway in Great Falls
Popular Broadway shows are coming to Great Falls again!
From the heart of the songs of Johnny Cash comes Ring of Fire, a unique musical show about love and
faith, struggle and success, rowdiness and redemption, home and family. Take a musical journey
into the world the "man in black" created in his songs.
Little Women, The Musical is based on the classic book by Louisa May Alcott. Set during the
Civil War, it is the timeless tale of Jo, a young writer and her three sisters.
Evita, based on the life of Eva Peron, won seven Tonys, including Best Musical, when it first
appeared. From her illegitimate birth, to her status as a world player, Evita's story
is one of glamour, power, and greed.
Fresh Aire - the GRAMMY Award-winning music series from Mannheim Steamroller composer Chip Davis, presents music that is an innovative blend of classical themes with pop elements that he refers to as, "18th century rock and roll!"
