Curated by Justin Lucero & Denise Prosek
Directed by Justin Lucero
Music Direction by Denise Prosek

Cue the confetti and put on your Sunday clothes! It’s Theater Latté Da’s 100th production—a milestone worthy of a celebration like no other. We invite audiences to join us for a cabaret-style bash packed with powerhouse performances by Latté Da luminaries, emceed by Twin Cities favorite Tod Petersen. In honor of achieving this “impossible dream,” Journey On is a musical trip down memory lane, with unforgettable numbers drawn from almost three decades of beloved shows. This strictly limited engagement kicks off our season with style, soul, Sondheim, and “all that jazz” you’ve come to expect from Minnesota’s home for adventurous music theater.

MY FAIR LADY
Nov 12 - Dec 28, 2025

Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner
Music by Frederick Loewe 
Adapted from George Bernard Shaw’s play and Gabriel Pascal’s motion picture Pygmalion 
Original production directed by Moss Hart

Directed by Justin Lucero
Music Direction by Denise Prosek

When Professor Henry Higgins takes on the ambitious task of molding flower seller Eliza Doolittle into his vision of refinement, she is swept into a world brimming with possibility and unexpected discoveries. Widely considered one of the greatest musicals of all time, My Fair Lady is guaranteed to capture hearts with its wit and charm, even as it reveals that asking someone to change the way they speak is asking them to surrender a piece of who they are. At the heart of Lerner and Loewe’s sparkling satire lies a powerful exploration of transformation: what it means to change, and what is lost when one’s voice is reshaped to fit someone else’s ideal. This thought-provoking, endlessly entertaining classic is a perfect theatrical gift for all ages, carried along on a timeless score featuring such songs as “I Could Have Danced All Night” and “On the Street Where You Live.”

THE GLASS MENAGERIE
Feb 4 - Mar 1, 2026

Written by Tennessee Williams

Directed by Justin Lucero

The Glass Menagerie is a luminous memory play that captures the fragile ache of longing, illusion, and family ties strained to their breaking point. Filtered through Tom’s introspective narration, the story unfolds like a faded home movie—its details soft, its emotions piercing. Tennessee Williams’ iconic work scripts music not merely as background, but as an emotional undercurrent: distant, echoing tunes that linger just beyond the moment, weaving through thought, feeling, and the quiet pull of nostalgia. One of the most renowned American dramas of the 20th century, this semi-autobiographical masterwork is not just a play–it’s a reverie.

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!
Apr 1 - May 3, 2026

By Anthony King and Scott Brown 

Directed by Tyler Michaels King
Music Direction by Jason Hansen

Fresh off its hit Broadway premiere, Gutenberg! The Musical! is a clever, offbeat, frequently absurd comedy that affectionately spoofs the world of musical theater. This love letter to new works is told through the lens of two aspiring writers earnestly pitching their wildly inaccurate musical about the invention of the printing press, blending infectious enthusiasm, witty songs, and irreverent historical twists. Twin Cities theater luminary Tyler Michaels King returns to Latté Da, this time wearing the (trucker) hat of Director. Equal parts satire and celebration, Gutenberg! is a fast-paced theatrical romp that revels in the art of making something out of nothing—one song and one dream at a time.

MY ÁNTONIA
Jun 3 - Jul 12, 2026

WORLD PREMIERE!

Conceived by Jessie Austrian, Noah Brody, Kate Kilbane, and Dan Moses
Music & Lyrics by The Kilbanes
Book by Noah Brody
Adapted from the novel by Willa Cather

Directed by Jessie Austrian
Music Direction by Jason Hansen

In this Latté Da-commissioned world premiere, Willa Cather’s beloved novel is envisioned as an intimate celebration of resilience and the enduring strength of women. Featuring a sweeping indie folk score by The Kilbanes and an imaginative libretto by Noah Brody, this poignant adaptation traces the immigrant experience on the Great Plains at the turn of the 20th century through the eyes of the lifelong friendship between orphan boy Jim Burden and Ántonia Shimerda, daughter of a Bohemian immigrant family. My Ántonia offers a timely celebration of the contributions of immigrants to the nation’s identity and spirit as America marks its 250th anniversary. Rooted in the land and shaped by memory, this powerful work invites us to consider how we remember our past, and whose stories we choose to tell.
