Cy is on the verge of revolutionizing communication! His brilliant invention instantly translates spoken English into American Sign Language (ASL), and vice versa. But his breakthrough means nothing if he cannot connect with the one person he longs for — Roxy, a whip-smart coder, and an integral part of turning their tech dream into reality. As they work side by side, Cy finds himself falling in love, only to watch his best friend, Chris, sweep Roxy off her feet. A modern-day ‘Cyrano’ tale, Elephant Shoes asks: Can love transcend language or will it forever be lost in translation?
With a soaring contemporary score and an immersive blend of spoken English, ASL, and groundbreaking stage technology, this World Premiere co-production between Two River Theater and Deaf West Theatre will ignite your senses and change the way you experience musical theatre.

Bees Deluxe
2025-11-22 05:07 | NJ
Bees Deluxe pushes the limits of convention and twists the blues to create a sound that is unique, highly musical yet deeply respectful of the blues tradition. Their sound is an amalgam of blues idioms, 80’s New Wave, Second Wave Ska and jazz standards. They are touring in support of their new album “Hallucinate” which has been getting great reviews from the blues and Roots Americana press while their live performances are getting rave reviews from music venues up and down the east coast.
For those of you who have experienced their invigorating performances already you know what they bring to the table every time they take the stage. For those of you who have not heard them yet, now is your chance to groove with a great band on their headlining debut. Tickets are available now so get yours early so you do not get shut out.
Renee Maskin is a singer-songwriter from the vibrant music city of Asbury Park, New Jersey. She combines earthy song craft with ambient textures and wry lyrics, a sound that’s both familiar and unconventional at once.
Having cut her teeth in bands over the past several decades, Maskin’s solo debut, Swimming, was recorded in 2020 as a result of the pandemic lockdown. UK’s The Rodeo hailed it as “indie-rock at its finest.” Her follow-up 2023 LP with The Mysterious Wilds, featuring Mike Noordzy and Ben Ross, debuted at #1 on the NACC Folk chart. She rounded out that year with another LP, Shimmer with Maskin back in the producer chair. The record received many accolades, including being named one of the top national releases of 2023 by The Aquarian, and New Jersey Stage Magazine giving Maskin the title of “Songwriter of the Year”.

Stone Flower
2025-11-22 05:07 | NJ
A shared vision to create a truly authentic, high energy tribute to Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame artist, Carlos Santana, resulted in the formation of The StoneFlower Band in 2010. The name was adopted from a song on the Caravanserai Album, which represents a pivotal period in the evolution of the iconic Santana sound. The collaboration of these brilliantly paired musicians reproduces this sound with spot-on precision. StoneFlower’s seemingly effortless syncopation of percussion delivers a spellbinding resonance that gets the audience moving …in their seat or on their feet.
Over the years StoneFlower has enjoyed expanding their musical repertoire for their fans to include other great rock n’ roll bands such as: The Rolling Stones, The Doobie Brothers, David Bowie, Chicago, The Grateful Dead and more. Their uncompromising pursuit of perfection enables them to capture the signature sound of the original artists.

Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
2025-11-22 05:07 | NJ
Sweeney Todd has become a bloody, worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony’s, (including Best Musical), for its Broadway premiere. Stephen Sondheim’s and Hugh Wheeler’s (A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures) tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed and delighted audiences across the world.
An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up… and the carnage has only just begun!

A local fantasy tavern, The Laughing Dagger, is a family owned tavern currently run by Pan Flute the Third. It has gained a reputation for selling illegal love potions. Two investigators, no-nonsense unicorn Officer Applesauce Sparklecake and his rookie partner, hot elf, Augustus Ambrose Whisperbottom, have been tipped off by an unknown source to investigate the claims. Inside the tavern, they meet: • Pan Flute the Third, the bartender, recently named owner and operator of The Laughing Dagger who makes up terrible songs with increasingly ridiculous instruments as the night progresses.
• Scorchy McHavoc, a desperate devil imp who is wanted for crimes and has come to the tavern for unknown reasons.
• Greg the Undeadinator, a necromancer who is struggling with the necromancy form of ED (Nerectile Dysfunction) and is unable to successfully raise corpses. He’s come to the tavern for help.
• Jinxica Broom, a local flirtatious witch, lover of Pan Flute the Third, and the one behind the love potion ritual.
• Gorbag Hellscream (aka “Helly”), a sophisticated ord and former love potion customer who believes the love potion is a scam and wants to prove it.
All is well until the ritual begins and someone is murdered. Who did it? The investigators jump into action and Greg the Undeadinator is able to partially reanimate the corpse for most of the show to help solve their murder.
Can you solve the murder?
