Based on a film written by Billy Morrissette and produced by Richard Shepard, Jon Stern, Abandon Pictures
Directed by Lonny Price & Matt Cowart
Choreography by Lorin Latarro & Travis Waldschmidt
Music Direction by Joshua Zecher-Ross
Take a bite out of this deliciously macabre, laugh-out-loud New York Times Critic’s Pick based on the cult film and Shakespeare’s play.
Stifled by the limitations of their lives in ‘70s small-town Pennsylvania, Mac and Pat are burger joint employees with ambition. As their hunger for power grows-and the body count rises-the couple cooks up a plan to supersize their serving of the American Dream. Under the direction of Broadway legend Lonny Price, Gwon’s tasty rock score and Mitnick’s sizzling script are the perfect recipe for a bloody good time.
Featuring Will Dusek, Katherine Fried, Emily Gunyou Halaas and Matthew Riehle.

Spirited, savvy Ella defies her stepmother’s wishes and captures the heart of a charming prince on her quest to transform her life…and the world. Empowered by kindness and a fairy godmother, she both sparkles and sparks change in this beloved classic with some surprise twists! A cherished score, a fresh, modern script, and inventive staging magically combine in Artistic Director Justin Lucero’s Latté Da debut, reminding us that goodness and courage can lead to happily ever after.
Featuring Theo Janke-Furman, Nambi Mwassa, Hope Nordquist and Sally Wingert.
SCHOOL PICTURES
Feb 5 - Mar 2, 2025
Written & Performed by Milo Cramer
Directed by Morgan Green
New York Magazine’s choice for Best Play of 2023, a “completely wonderful” musical portrait of modern school life is “as riveting as it [is] sweetly funny.”
Directed by Morgan Green, this “extraordinary meditation on teaching and learning” is told in musical snapshots of individual teenagers. Solo writer-performer Milo Cramer, a former tutor, offers charming and keen observations of ten NY students fighting to get into competitive schools. At its heart are questions about what’s really worth knowing and worth sacrificing in a system in which success seems so arbitrarily distributed.
Featuring Milo Cramer.
FUN HOME
Apr 2 - May 4, 2025
Music by Jeanine Tesori
Book & Lyrics by Lisa Kron
Based on the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel
Directed by Addie Gorlin-Han
Music Direction by Jason Hansen
This groundbreaking and beloved Tony-winning Best Musical is inspired by Alison Bechdel’s best-selling graphic memoir.
Introspective and refreshingly honest, this hit musical is hailed as one of Broadway’s most original. Through the lens of three pivotal stages in Alison’s life, Bechdel’s witty and wistful illustrated autobiography comes to life in this moving journey to acceptance, directed by Addie Gorlin-Han. Looking back on her 1970s childhood in the family-owned funeral home and her complex relationship with her father, Alison discovers they had more in common than she ever knew.
Featuring Shad Hanley, Monty Hays, Sara Masterson and Essence Renae.
PASSION
Jun 4 - Jul 13, 2025
Book by James Lapine
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Justin Lucero
Music Direction by Jason Hansen
Artistic Director Justin Lucero will lead Latté Da’s 99th mainstage production and a return to its signature staging of Sondheim’s masterworks.
Set in 1860s Italy, a gripping, fiery love triangle ignites when a dashing army captain is transferred to a remote military outpost. Giorgio, already in a passionate, clandestine affair with Clara back home, enters the sights and heart of Fosca, a fragile woman who turns out to be capable of adoration and desire unlike anything he has ever known. This Best Musical Tony winner, one of Sondheim’s most unforgettable, is an exultantly dramatic journey of love, desire, and obsession.
Featuring Sasha Andreev, Isa Condo-Olvera, Katherine Fried and Bradley Greenwald.
