Freckleface Strawberry The Musical, based on the beloved New York Times best-selling book by celebrated actress, Julianne Moore, is a fun and touching family musical. Specifically created to perform for young audiences, families can step inside of the book's pages with Freckleface and friends as they learn to "love the skin they're in." Freckleface Strawberry will do anything to get rid of her freckles – from scrubbing them with soap to caking on makeup… and even wearing a ski mask to school! Will her schoolmates realize that it's her under the mask? Will Freckleface be brave enough to finally face her complexion in the mirror? With the help of her loveable schoolmates, including an amazingly talented ballerina, a cutie jock, a charming ditz and a totally kooky teacher, Freckleface learns that everyone is different – and that's what makes everyone special. Performance starts at 10:30am at the Ocean City Music Pier. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 the day of the show. Tickets will be on sale after February 3, 2020.

The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an "equal opportunity offender!" The Producers is a huge hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night. July 7, 8 and 10 at 7:30 PM, July 9 at 2:00 PM. Hughes Performing Arts Center. Tickets will go on sale by February 3, 2020. 609-399-6111 or visit oceancityvacation.com/boxoffice - 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

WHO’S NOT NOT NOT NOT GOING TO MOVE - Based on Judith Viorst’s book Alexander, Who’s Not (Do You Year Me? I Mean It!) Going to Move. Alexander has just received some really bad news from his parents. His dad has taken a job in a city a thousand miles away, which means that he and his mom and his dad and his bossy older brothers, Nick and Anthony, are going to have to move to a whole new city. And even though his mom says, "Wait, you'll like it," Alexander already knows that he’ll hate it. He’ll hate it because he’ll never have a best friend like Paul again. And he’ll never have a great sitter like Rachel again. And he’ll never again have his soccer team or his car pool or kids who know him or…Anyway, he can’t bear to leave the people and places he loves, so he decides that he won’t move. First he tries to live with three different neighbors. Then he tries to build a tent so he can live by himself. Then he decides he’ll hide so that his parents’ll never find him, but that doesn’t work out either. While Alexander barricades his bedroom door, his mom and dad and even his brothers find some special ways to make it easier for Alexander to leave. They also help him to understand that home is "where your family is, where you’re with the people who love you best of all." Finally Alexander agrees to leave, but warns that—Do you hear him? He means it!—he’s not not not not not not going to move again! Commissioned and premiered by The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Performance starts at 10:30am at the Ocean City Music Pier. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 the day of the show. Tickets will be on sale after February 3, 2020.
