Hamilton Family Theatre Cambridge Announces 2025 Season

November 1, 2024

Drayton Entertainment's Artistic Director Alex Mustakas today announced the 2025 Season for the Hamilton Family Theatre Cambridge.

“The 2025 Season is all about captivating stories and unforgettable music,” says Alex Mustakas. “With a mix of timeless classics, heartfelt dramas, and thrilling moments, there is something to engage and delight every theatregoer. Whether you come for the music, the drama, or the laughter, there’s a show waiting to resonate with you.”

The 2025 Season in Cambridge launches with the sensational multiple Tony Award® - winning musical, Crazy for You. This Gershwin musical comedy follows the story of banker Bobby Child and his task of foreclosing a rundown theatre in Nevada. The only problem? He’s fallen for the theatre owner’s daughter. This must see romantic comedy runs from April 23 to May 18.

Next to the stage is the laugh-a-minute comedy Halfway There by Norm Foster, which tells the story of a small Maritime town that gets tipped off its axis when a heartbroken doctor from Toronto takes a temporary job at the clinic and becomes interested in a local waitress. This raucously funny comedy about the unshakeable bonds of friendship is on stage June 4 to June 22.

The season continues with the global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for the past five decades, Jesus Christ Superstar. Told entirely through song, this timeless work explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, the disciples, and the Roman Empire. This contemporary re-imagining of the biblical tale is on stage from July 3 to July 27.

Back by popular demand, the musical tribute The Crooner will be sure to put a skip in your step and a song in your heart. Critically acclaimed Canadian artist Michael Vanhevel, will once again take audiences on a nostalgic musical journey with his distinct smooth and snappy crooner style. Feel like these memorable songs are being sung right to you from August 13 to August 31.

A perfect addition to the fall season, Drayton Entertainment is pleased to present the Shaw Festival’s hit production of Agatha Christie’s drama, Witness for the Prosecution. When a wealthy, older woman is found brutally murdered, there is only one suspect: her much-younger lover Leonard Vole. Decide the fate of the accused, and become part of the jury from October 29 to November 16.

The final production of the season will have audiences dancing in the aisles and laughing all the way home. Fall in love all ogre again next holiday season with Shrek The Musical – a hilarious comedy based on the DreamWorks Animation Motion Picture and book by William Steig. Don’t miss this fairy tale come to life! Join the big, bright, life-changing adventure from December 3 to December 28.
