Burn the Floor opens the season on September 29, 2010.
The 2010-11 Broadway Sacramento season at the Community Center Theater will include six shows never before presented in the region, the first time in the 22-year history of the series that every presentation will be a Sacramento premiere. The six-show season includes Disney's Broadway blockbuster "Mary Poppins", the tony Award-winning best musical, "In the Heights," the dance spectacular "Burn the Floor," the new Dolly Parton musical
"9 to 5," Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein" and "Cirque Dreams Holidaze."
In the Heights
November 3-14, 2010
The Tony Award-winning best musical of 2008, also won the top awards for score and choreography. "In the Heights" is a journey into a vibrant Manhattan community - a place where the coffee is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. The new show about chasing dreams and finding ones true home takes place in Washington Heights, telling the next chapter in the story of the American dream.
Cirque Dreams Holidaze
December 29, 2010-January 2, 2011
Created and directed by Neil Golberg, "Cirque Dreams Holidaze" is an original new musical extravaganza filled with spectacle, imagination and whimsical dreams. Ornaments come to life as costumed characters who perform astonishing feats that celebrate the holiday season and showcase pageantry, ingenuity and breathtaking artistry. An international cast of acrobats, aerialists, singers, dancers and musicians fill the stage and the air, and dangle from a 24-foot tall
magical tree. Because of its limited run (most Broadway Sacramento shows run 16 performances), "Cirque Dreams Holidaze" is an option to the season subscription package that ticket buyers won't want to miss.
9 to 5, the Musical
March 9-20, 2011
It's the hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era, based on 1980's hit movie. The new musical comedy features Dolly Parton's original hit title song along with her new Tony Award- and Grammy-nominated score. "9 to 5: the Musical" tells the story of three unlikely friends who conspire to take control of their company and learn there's nothing they can't do - even in a man's world. It's about getting credit and
getting even.

The Drowsy Chaperone
September 10 - October 9, 2010
The Drowsy Chaperone pays homage to American musicals of the Jazz Age, examining the effect musicals have on the fans who adore them. The Man in Chair, a mousy, agoraphobic Broadway fanatic, seeking to cure his "non-specific sadness", listens to a recording of the fictional 1928 musical comedy,
The Drowsy Chaperone . As he listens to this rare recording, he is transported into the musical. The characters appear in his dingy apartment, and it is transformed into a glorious Broadway set with seashell footlights, sparkling furniture, painted backdrops, and over the top costumes. (Roseville Theatrer)
Crimes of the Heart
September 24 - October 23, 2010
In Hazlehurst, Mississippi, three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Their troubles, grave and yet, somehow, hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. In the end the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the
future&151;but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended. (Tower Theater)
Deathtrap
November 5 - December 4, 2010
Seemingly comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a "dry" spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college-a thriller which Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway hit. Sidney's plan,
which he devises with his wife's help, is to offer collaboration to the student, an idea which the younger man quickly accepts. Thereafter suspense mounts steadily as the plot begins to twist and turn with devilish cleverness, and with such an abundance of thrills and laughter, that audiences will be held enthralled until the final, startling moments of the play.

I
n this classic screwball comedy, an unscrupulous Broadway producer struggles to find a backer for his new show. Holed up in a Times Square hotel with 19 hungry actors and a ballooning room service bill, he tries to forestall eviction with an outlandish plan. Can their new play open on Broadway, or will they be evicted for their outrageous bill? This beloved, zany comedy about the lengths some people will go for their art
is sure to have audiences laughing from beginning to end.
The Vampyre
October 8 - November 14, 2010
Before there was Count Dracula there was Lord Ruthven, a charming but vicious vampyre with 'dead grey eyes', a very pale complexion and a haughty demeanor. He gains the confidence of Aubrey, a weak willed young man and through him, gains entrance to the stately home of Aubrey's aunt where his seductive skills tempt the most virtuous of young women there. "The Vampyre" transformed the vampire myth from the
monster of folklore to the dark, sexual, and predatory creature still popular today!
