SUMMARY:Beetlejuice
DESCRIPTION:He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming back to LA by popular demand. \n  \nIt’s showtime!

SUMMARY:Jane Lynch & Kate Flannery—The Trouble With Angels
DESCRIPTION:The Trouble with Angels\nAn evening of mischief and music from two very familiar faces. It’s like the Rat Pack… but with a couple of broads. \nJoin Emmy Award-winner Jane Lynch and the hilariously charming Kate Flannery for a raucous night of comedy\, song\, and unapologetic mischief in The Trouble with Angels. With powerhouse vocals\, razor-sharp wit\, and more than a few surprises\, these two beloved stars serve up a cocktail of classic tunes\, campy banter\, and devilish charm. It’s part cabaret\, part stand-up\, and all sass—because when these angels get together\, heaven can wait.
