The Wizard of Oz

Krewe of Chewbacchus
Get an early start to your parade season this year with the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus on Feb. 9 in the Marigny. It is a marching parade full of dozens of sub-krewes, each with its own unique theme relating to sci-fi/fantasy/nerd culture (e.g. The Leijorettes, Krewe du Who, Krewe of the Living Dead).

The Book of Mormon
Leave the kids at home for this raucous, irreverent, and R-rated musical from the creators of the hit TV show South Park.
