Drury Lane Theatre presents its 2021-22 Season, Drury Lane’s 66th season.

The complete Drury Lane Theatre 2021/2022 Season is as follows, as described by a theatre spokesperson:

Forever Plaid

“On the way to their first big gig, tragedy strikes Forever Plaid, a ‘guy group’ specializing in barbershop quartet harmonies and pitch-perfect melodies. Forever Plaid begins when the guys are given the chance to perform from the afterlife. This musical is a nostalgic homage to the music of the ‘50s.”

September 17 – November 7, 2021

Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn

“Based on the classic film, Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn follows retired song-and-dance man Jim’s efforts to bring entertainment to his small Connecticut town. With the help of talented schoolteacher Linda, he turns his farmhouse into an inn and puts on shows celebrating all holidays. This family-friendly musical features dance numbers, comedy, and a selection of Irving Berlin’s songs, including ‘White Christmas.’”

November 19, 2021 – January 9, 2022

Evita

“Based on true events, Evita tells the story of Eva Perón’s rags-to-riches life as she goes from poor provincial child to First Lady of Argentina. A champion of the working-class descamisados, she uses popularity and politics to serve her people – and herself.”

January 28 – March 20, 2022

The King and I

“British tutor Anna Leonowens and the King of Siam struggle with cultural differences after Anna arrives at the royal palace in Bangkok. Inspired by true events, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I is a tale of the human experience, exploring the historical intricacies of class, race, and politics in 1862.”

April 1 – May 22, 2022

Steel Magnolias

“In a beauty parlor in northwestern Louisiana, life is anything but boring. Steel Magnolias follows six women over the course of three years as they face life’s challenges together and find comfort in one another. Embracing both laughter and tears, this story celebrates the power of female friendship.”

June 10 – July 31, 2022
