As Way Off Broadway is heading into the second half of its 30th Anniversary Season, the Frederick dinner theatre has announced its line-up of shows for 2025. Way Off Broadway's 31st Season of bringing live entertainment to the stage will kick off in January following Anastasia and Christmas Chronicles later this year.
The theatre's producers set out to put together a season of shows that has something for everyone following its blockbuster 2024 productions. That is exactly what will appear on stage next year as the season includes laughs, intrigue, and heartwarming moments.
The 2025 Season will begin with a production of the world's longest run play, Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap. That will be followed in the spring by A Second Helping, the sequel to the hilarious musical comedy Church Basement Ladies. The summer will welcome Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella – The Broadway Musical to the theatre, followed by Stephen Sondheim's Company in the fall, and Once Upon a Christmas Night for the holidays.
