Which Way to the Stage. A playful yet profound comedy about friendship, ambition, and what happens when dreams fall just out of reach. Broadway superfans Jeff and Judy eagerly await their idol Idina Menzel after her performance in If/Then at the stage door every night. But when a sexy stranger enters the scene and upends their decades-long friendship, the musical theater aficionados have to go off book to rewrite their own finale. Performed at Signature Theatre until January 22nd. 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Wicked. The Broadway sensation looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships… until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.” Performed at the Kennedy Center. 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
