Emanuel Carrero as
Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys

Mountain Theatre Company will celebrate its 85th season and Sapphire Anniversary with an exciting lineup of shows in 2023!

Back by popular demand, after last year’s sold-out season, Jersey Boys is back for a special limited engagement, June 23 through July 8. Emanuel Carrero will reprise his star-making role as Frankie Valli. Go behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, Jersey Boys. From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is the musical that’s just too good to be true. It features legendary Top Ten hits including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like A Man,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” You’ll leave the theatre exclaiming, “Oh, What a Night!”

Next up is Rock of Ages, running July 28 through August 19. A live rock band will take center stage in this musical featuring your favorite power ballads and rock classics from the 1980s. ​This Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical tells the story of a small-town girl, a city boy, and a rock ‘n’ roll romance on Sunset Strip. Aspiring rock star Drew has dreams to take the stage as the next big thing while also longing for Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes. But when the bar where rock reigns supreme is set to be demolished by German developers, it’s up to these wannabe rockers and their band of friends to save the day – and the music. The score includes “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Here I Go Again,” “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Don’t Stop Believin’,” and many more.

Perfect for the fall, The Rocky Horror Show will run October 6 through 28. This deliberately kitschy rock ‘n’ roll tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940’s through early 1970’s is sure to be a delight. The cult classic musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple, caught in a storm when they arrive at the home of a mad scientist. He unveils his new creation, a muscle man named Rocky Horror. Live on stage, with more glam and glitter than any production to date, this promises to be Rocky Horror as only MTC can re-imagine it.

Closing the season with a rush of nostalgia and holiday joy is our new Highlands tradition, Home for the Holidays, running December 8 – 24. Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with Mountain Theatre Company at their annual holiday spectacular. Fun for all ages, this festive seasonal music revue promises dazzling costumes, high energy choreography, and it’s sure to fill audiences with plenty of good, old-fashioned holiday cheer.
