A Collection of Shows as Diverse in Their Stories as Any In Our Extensive Catalogue

They have prompted audiences to fall in love – to return again and again, and to share their feelings with other fans through blogs, fan clubs, and social media.
Why do they belong together?
The word ‘edge’ has several meanings, including these, taken straight from the dictionary:
edge - \ej\ (noun):
-incisive or penetrating quality; a noticeably sharp quality
-keenness or intensity of desire or enjoyment
-the threshold of danger

- they stimulate discussion and generate phenomenal word of mouth.
- they attract audiences including those who might not otherwise be drawn to a musical.
- they generate extensive cult followings and encourage repeat customers.

- they sell tickets!
These are shows that connect on the deepest level with audiences; the ones that challenge them to think, to reflect, to wonder. We invite you to take a look and have a listen—you will love what you hear. It is then up to you to share that pleasure with your audience.
