Landmark Musicals is restoring to the stage the magical work of the giants of musical theater\u2014Oscar Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin, Frank Loesser, Jerry Herman, Kander and Ebb, and many more.<\/p>\n
The musicals Landmark presents aren’t ordinary. They are classics that have met the test of time. And the quality of the productions will approach the quality of the musicals themselves.<\/p>\n
We offer sharply reduced ticket prices to students so that they may experience the golden age of musical theater.<\/p>\n
