Show Details

“Toot toot, hey, beep beep!”  

Say those words, and you’ll immediately feel the beat, the spirit, the heat of the legendary Donna Summer. Her songs smashed every record. Her story shattered every barrier. Now, the queen arrives in Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.  

She was a girl from Boston with a voice from heaven, who shot through the stars from gospel choir to dance floor diva. But what the world didn’t know was how Donna Summer risked it all to break through every barrier, becoming the icon of an era and the inspiration for every music diva who followed. From Janet Jackson to Beyoncé, they all began with Donna. 

Three actresses play the role of musical icon Donna Summer at different points in her life as “Diva Donna,” “Disco Donna” and “Duckling Donna,” while an inexhaustible ensemble of almost entirely women tear up the stage. 

Featuring stunning, athletic choreography, SUMMER takes us through her tumultuous life and tempestuous loves. Including a mega-watt dream list of musical hits—including “Bad Girls,” “MacArthur Park,” “She Works Hard for the Money,” and “Last Dance”—SUMMER makes [Spring/Winter/Summer/Fall] the hottest season of all.  

Show Run Time: The show runs 1 hour and 45 minutes with no intermission.
Age Recommendation: May not be suitable for children ages 12 and under. 

This production of SUMMER contains the use of strobe lights, theatrical haze & fog and some adult themes, including depictions of drug use and violence.
