A message from the Rochester Opera House:
Our Fall musical, Seussical, is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Created by Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo, transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. Seussical runs from October 16 to November 8.
On Saturday, October 24, Arrested Development takes the stage! True Hip-Hop trailblazers since 1991, they have been cultural champions of consciousness and empowerment across the planet. Their representation of eclectic and vibrant African sounds and clothing has produced a unique clash of rhythms and style that continue to contrast the expected look and sound of Hip-Hop culture. See these classic MTV legends LIVE in Rochester. Local heroes Follicly Challenged will warm up the stage.
Mamma Mania returns to the Rochester Opera House stage! Get ready for the unforgettable music, infectious energy, and dazzling sound of ABBA back to the historic theater. Audiences can look forward to a celebration of the legendary Swedish pop group behind some of the most beloved hits of all time.

Join us on Saturday, November 14!
It’s time to take a jump to the left! Let’s celebrate Halloween the right way, by honoring the late great Tim Curry with a very special screening of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show!” Brad and Janet, an innocent couple whose evening takes an unexpected turn when they stumble upon the mysterious mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Featuring unforgettable songs like “Time Warp,” “Sweet Transvestite,” and “Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me!” The film has earned its place as one of the most iconic and enduring cult classics of all time! October 29 and 30 at 9:30pm!
