For almost everyone, the very word "Motown" is synonymous with the great songs and artists of the 60s and 70s- not the auto industry! But why Detroit, and why those decades? In this class we will explore the historic relevance of that musical hub of success as we discuss the songs and bios of those great artists. No doubt Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, 4 Tops and Smoky Robinson need no introduction! It is unusual that one Record Company could produce these artists and so many more over those years. We'll also discover the behind-the-scenes people that made it all work. Come join us as we share those musical memories of Motown --- Detroit's other industry!

CHICAGO is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one showstopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.

In the whirlwind of Chicago’s Jazz Age, two of the Cook County Jail’s most notorious murderesses—vaudeville star Velma Kelly and chorus girl Roxie Hart—become fierce rivals as they compete for headlines amidst a media frenzy.

Broadway’s longest-running musical has been razzle dazzling audiences for over 28 years, and after more than 10,000 performances, 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, and a Grammy®, we’re just getting started.

Come on, babe! Head to CHICAGO!
We’re hotter than ever.
