The Axelrod
is pleased to be premiering a hilarious, high-energy, swinging new
musical, A MONKEY AND ME: Stories I Never Told My
Mother by award-winning Broadway writer, Jonathan
Brielle Holtzman (Foxfire, Himself and Nora),
headlining alongside six-time Emmy and Tony nominee, Tovah
Feldshuh (Golda’s Balcony, Pippin, Becoming Dr. Ruth),
in his semi-autobiographical musical about growing up in Asbury Park,
wrestling with gangsters, two ex-wives, a monkey from his Las Vegas
extravaganza, and, of course, his overbearing theatrical Jewish
mother….all in the name of learning to love yourself to find love.
Directed and choreographed by Kelli Barclay (associate
on 42nd Street), A Monkey and Me may
make you laugh and consider all the things you should tell your
mother!

The Academy
Players—students from the Axelrod Performing Arts
Academy--presents The Addams Family on the
stage of the Vogel Auditorium. America’s favorite
“creepy and kooky” family, The Addams Family was a
hit TV series in the 1960s and the subject of five Hollywood films.
The musical by Tony Award nominee Andrew Lippa is
based on Charles Addams’ original single-panel cartoons and focuses
on an 18-year-old Wednesday who has fallen in love with a “normal”
teenager from Ohio and the chaos that ensues as the Addams face the
possibility of changing their traditional macabre ways. The
Addams Family is directed and choreographed by Michael
LaFleur with music direction by Michael Gilch.

June 3 – 19,
2022
Celebrating its 50th anniversary, GREASE is
the word this summer! Rescheduled from spring of 2020, America’s
favorite 1950s musical GREASE is finally
taking the stage at the Vogel Auditorium, under the direction and
choreography of Lisa Stevens (Broadway & West
End’s Chicago, 9 to 5) with music direction by Logan
Medland. When the Broadway musical was transformed into a
Hollywood spectacular starring John Travolta and Olivia
Newton-John, Grease became a cultural phenomenon
and the musical continues to break records in the box office—because
it’s that much fun…and we LOVE every song! The show runs
June 3 through June 19….stay tuned for the full cast announcement and
