SUmmer Mainstage 2025

The Hangar Theatre’s 2025 Mainstage season features two award-winning musicals and one hilarious play.

One jam-packed with well-known hits that will have you rocking in your seats, one powerful celebration of friendship featuring music by Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles, and a fresh take on a famous detective duo. Join us this summer!

Million Dollar Quartet

June 19–28, 2025
Book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux
Songs by Carl L. Perkins, Johnny O’Keefe, Bo Diddley, Johnny Cash, Otis Blackwell, Chuck Berry, Merle Travis, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and others

On December 4, 1956 an extraordinary twist of fate brought rock ‘n’ roll greats Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley together at Sun Record in Memphis, Tennessee for the most legendary jam session ever. Million Dollar Quartet brings that night to life in a toe-tapping, musical re-telling filled with broken promises, betrayals, celebrations, and an incredible score of rock ‘n’ roll, gospel, R&B and country hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog,” and more.

“Express(es) the riotous joy, beauty and sadness of life in songs that shoot straight for the soul.” The New York Times

Waitress

July 10–19, 2025
Music and Lyrics by Sarah Bareilles, Book by Jessie Nelson

Jenna, a waitress and talented pie-baker, is stuck in a small town and a troubled marriage. When life takes an unexpected turn, Jenna fears she may have to abandon her dream of opening a pie shop–until a nearby baking contest and the town’s handsome new doctor offer her the tempting possibility of a fresh start. Surrounded by her quirky crew of fellow waitresses and loyal customers, Jenna summons the secret ingredient she’s been missing all along–courage. Featuring music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles, this hit musical offers a special recipe for finding happiness where we least expect it.

“Rises to transporting heights, and sweeps up your heart along with it.”
—The New York Times

Waitress is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson, Apt. 2B

July 25–August 2, 2024
By Kate Hamill

A clever, comedic, contemporary take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth and sidekick duo by Lansing-born Ithaca College alumna Kate Hamill. This fast-paced re-telling of the world’s most famous detective story brings oddball female roommates Sherlock Holmes & Joan Watson together as they join forces to solve outlandish cases in post-pandemic London. The two create a dynamic duo–solving mysteries and outwitting masterminds–until they come face to face with a villain who seems to have all of the answers.

“A witty, intelligent farce with just enough slapstick to keep you from taking things too seriously…the perfect antidote to a stressful day and a guaranteed laugh.”
—WRPO, Providence, Rhode Island
