2015-2016 Projects Unlimited Star Attractions Announced at Victoria Theater

The Victoria Theatre Association has announced its Projects Unlimited Star Attractions for 2015-2016.

• THE BOOK OF MORMON (August 18-23, 2015)
  Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls it “the best musical of this century.” Entertainment Weekly says it’s “the funniest musical of all time.” From “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone it’s THE BOOK OF MORMON, winner of nine Tony Awards® including Best Musical. Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show” calls it “a crowning achievement. So good it makes me angry.” Contains explicit language.
• ROSANNE CASH (October 4, 2015)
  When you’ve charted 21 Top 40 country singles, including 11 Number Ones, you’re no stranger to hit music–especially if you’re your last name is Cash. But ROSANNE CASH isn’t just about hit music; she and her stand up band are about beautiful, expressive, amazing, award-winning, bone-chilling music. And you can experience it live at the Victoria. Her latest project The River and the Thread won three 2015 Grammy Awards, among others, and is the most played album in Americana radio for the past year. Featuring a long list of guests from young guns like John Paul White (The Civil Wars) and Derek Trucks, to such legends like John Prine and Tony Joe White, the album’s unique sound draws from country, blues, gospel, and rock. Cash’s last two albums, Black Cadillac (2006) and The List (2009), were both nominated for Grammy Awards; The List–an exploration of essential songs as selected and given to Rosanne by her father, Johnny Cash–was also named Album of the Year by the Americana Music Association. In addition, her best-selling 2010 memoir, Composed, was described by the Chicago Tribune as “one of the best accounts of an American life you will likely ever read.”
• EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL (November 5-7, 2015)
  All the elements of Sam Raimi’s cult classic films combined in one crazy theatrical experience! The only musical where you can choose to sit in the “Splatter Zone” and get drenched from the mayhem, or watch from a safe (and dry) distance.
• MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER CHRISTMAS (December 2, 2015)
