    National tour of Moulin Rouge

    Moulin Rouge! The Musical is touring here and the theme of this year's Broadway Dallas gala.

    If this spring weather has you feeling restless, then March's theater lineup is ready to follow suit. There are lots of very short runs happening this month, with some shows only playing a day or two.

    That means you'd better be quick in catching those you want to see, and also that this is an opportunity to see many different shows in a short time span.

    We are also heavy into society season, and as such there are three theater-related galas on this list as well. Two occur on April 1, a Saturday, so we're listing them here to make sure you don't miss out.

    In order of start date, here are 12 local shows to watch this month:

    On Your Feet!
    Broadway at the Center, March 2-4
    On Your Feet! is the inspiring true story about heart, heritage, and two people who believed in their talent — and each other — to become an international sensation: Gloria and Emilio Estefan. The musical features some of the most iconic songs of the past quarter-century, including "Rhythm is Gonna Get You," "Conga," "Get On Your Feet," "Don’t Want To Lose You Now," "1-2-3," and "Coming Out of the Dark."

    Silver Foxes
    Uptown Players, March 2-12
    This world premiere comedy from James Berg and Stan Zimmerman, who wrote Golden Girls, is about an ensemble of queer men who rescue their best friend from a homophobic assisted living facility. The three older men plus their buddy’s younger twink lover navigate stray cats, online hook-up sites, and the real estate-ravenous lesbian couple next door to become a fabulous de facto family in an iconic midcentury Palm Springs house. There will be a special talk back with director Michael Urie and the playwrights after the March 4 performance.

    Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience
    AT&T Performing Arts Center, March 3-5
    Potted Potter takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books (and a real-life game of Quidditch) into 70 hilarious minutes. The production has been updated with a refreshed set design, upgraded illusions, and all the latest hilarious insights into the wonderful world of all thing Hogwarts. It includes favorite characters, a special appearance from a fire-breathing dragon, endless costumes, jokes, songs, props, and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic, plus lots of mayhem.

    La Fete Rouge et Violette
    WaterTower Theatre, March 4
    Immerse yourself in the spectacle of theater at the Red and Purple Ball, a night of fine dining, musical performances, acrobatic feats, specialty crafted cocktails, a luxe dinner by celebrity chef Blythe Beck, and more. Be the first to experience the future of WaterTower Theatre with stellar performances by Dallas-based professional musical theater artists and special guests.

    Nuevo Mundo
    Teatro Dallas, March 4, 11, 18
    In celebration of the fresh new voices and performance styles blossoming across the global south, Nuevo Mundo, Teatro Dallas' first-ever bilingual new works festival, features three emerging directors and the plays they have selected for a staged reading series. Playwrights include Emilio Infante, Bella O'Brien, and Jaime Chabaud.

    Beautiful: The Carole King Musical
    Casa Mañana, March 4-12
    Before she was hit-maker Carole King, she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice. From the chart-topping hits she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, trailblazing success with Tapestry, Beautiful takes audiences back to where it all began – and takes them on the ride of a lifetime.

    Mind Over Murder!
    Pegasus Theatre, March 9-25
    Who murdered famed magician Marko the Magnificent? Could it have been his manager? Or his wife? Perhaps his assistant. All of the suspects and more are gathered at the mansion that was Marko’s home on the one-year anniversary of his death while performing the death-defying "bullet catch" for the reading of his will. Can Harry Hunsacker solve this crime before it’s too late? The production will be presented in RadioVizion, an alternative technique devised by Pegasus Theatre that focuses on evoking the experience and glamour of being in a live radio studio of the 1930s and 1940s. Live sound effects, actors at period-style live microphones, and costumes suggestive of the era complete the effect.

    Menopause the Musical
    AT&T Performing Arts Center, March 10-11
    In Menopause the Musical, four women at a lingerie sale have nothing in common but a black lace bra and memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, not enough sex, too much sex, and more. The musical parody is set to classic tunes from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s.

    Moulin Rouge! The Musical
    Broadway Dallas, March 15-April 2
    Welcome to a world of splendor and romance, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur, and glory, a world where Bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows and revel in electrifying enchantment. Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza. The production is a theatrical celebration of truth, beauty, freedom, and — above all — love.

    Last Stop On Market Street
    Dallas Children's Theater, March 18-April 1
    On a Sunday after church in a bustling, ethnically and culturally diverse American city, CJ and his Nana board the public bus for their weekly trip across town to help out at a soup kitchen. Along the way, CJ notices the many differences among people and asks tons of curious question. With Nana’s fearless and compassionate guidance, CJ discovers that everyone and everything has a unique rhythm and purpose. This inspiring and imaginative play is based on the New York Times bestseller that won a Newbery Medal, Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor, and a Caldecott Honor.

    cleaVage: The Front Story
    Musical Writers Productions, March 19
    The “real” story behind fake breasts, cleaVage is a larger-than-life musical comedy inspired by the doctors and patients who shaped the spectacular rise, fall, and rebound of silicone gel breast implants. This staged reading will be held at Dallas Children's Theater.

    Annie
    Broadway at the Bass, March 28-April 2
    Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production.

    The Mountaintop
    Circle Theatre, March 30-April 15
    The Mountaintop is a gripping re-imagination of events the night before the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On April 3, 1968, after delivering one of his most memorable speeches, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages outside. When a mysterious stranger arrives with some surprising news, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy to his people.

    Broadway Dallas 2023 Gala: Moulin Rouge
    Music Hall at Fair Park, April 1
    Celebrating the best of Broadway, the evening begins with a cocktail reception followed by a pre-show dinner. Following the full performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, with complimentary intermission cocktails, guests will then have access to the After-Hours experience featuring French-inspired fare, a full flowing bar, tunes spun by DJ Sheka, plus a special performance by Trap Opera Star Madelyn Brené and more sparkling surprises throughout the night.

    Lastly, guests can enjoy a late-night snack from Fletcher’s Original Corny Dogs food truck as they head home. The gala is headed by Honorary Chairs Ambassador Kathryn Walt Hall and Craig Hall, along with Gala Chairs Jolie Humphrey and Gail Plummer.

    Turtle Creek Chorale Rhapsody with Patti LuPone
    Meyerson Symphony Center, April 1
    Guests can spend an evening with a true Broadway legend as Patti LuPone explores — through indelible interpretations of classic Broadway showtunes by the likes of Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Jule Styne, Stephen Schwartz, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin — how her lifelong love affair with Broadway began and the unpredictability of the Great White Way.

    The VIP Gala Experience offers an opening reception with open bar, seated dinner, complimentary valet parking, live auction, premium seating for the private concert by LuPone, and access to the after party with a live band and open bar.

    Tickets are also available for the concert + after party only, which range from $75 to $400 and include reserved concert seating and access to the after party experience with a live band.

    Whether you're seeking holiday nostalgia, family-friendly fun, or show-stopping spectacle, theaters across DFW are ready to deliver. Keep in mind that a lot of holiday shows opened last month and play well into December, so these entries are in addition to those.

    Here are 11 shows opening at Dallas-Fort Worth theaters in December, listed in order of start date:

    All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914
    Stage West Theatre, December 3-21
    On Christmas Eve 1914 in the cold trenches of World War I, something miraculous happened. A lone soldier stepped into no man’s land, lifted his voice in song and began this remarkable true story. In that no-longer-silent night, troops from both sides laid down their weapons for an extraordinary holiday celebration of music, feasting, and camaraderie.

    Black Nativity
    Bishop Arts Theatre Center, December 4-21
    This reimagined production follows a family coming together to celebrate the holiday season while carrying the weight of a recent loss. Guided by the wisdom of their ancestors and interwoven with the timeless story of the birth of Jesus, the heartfelt retelling offers both reflection and joy.

    The Lion in Winter
    Theatre Three, December 4-28
    Set during Christmas in the court of 12th-century England, The Lion in Winter follows King Henry II as he reunites his estranged queen and their sons for the holidays, igniting a battle over succession. The play examines family conflict, shifting alliances, and the pursuit of power.

    A Christmas Story: The Musical
    Broadway at the Bass, December 5-7
    From Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the songwriting team behind Dear Evan Hansen and The Greatest Showman, A Christmas Story: The Musical brings the classic 1983 movie to hilarious life onstage.

    Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings
    Lyric Stage, December 5-21
    At first, Francis, Jinx, Smudge, and Sparky aren't sure why they've returned to Earth for another posthumous performance, but a phone call from the heavenly Rosemary Clooney lets them know that they're needed to put a little harmony into a discordant world. Sprinkled among the Christmas offerings are audience favorites, like their riotous three-minute-and-eleven-second version of The Ed Sullivan Show — this time featuring the Rockettes, the Chipmunks, and The Vienna Boys Choir, as well as a Plaid Caribbean Christmas that puts the "Day-O" in Excelsis.

    Star of Wonder: A Carol Ann Christmas
    Uptown Players, December 5-14
    In this festive world premiere, Carol Ann Knipple — Uptown’s hilariously misguided theatrical dreamer from When Pigs Fly — returns with a new holiday spectacular. After her beloved Melody Barn burns to the ground, Carol Ann heads to Dallas to mount the show of her dreams … at a theater she doesn’t quite understand.

    A Winter's Cabaret
    Amphibian Stage, December 12-13
    The annual cabaret returns for an evening of cozy nostalgia, laughter, and a touch of holiday magic. The event will celebrate two local talents: Amber Marie Flores (last seen at ‘Phib' in Juan Garcia), and Zak Reynolds. Under the music direction of Vicky Nooe, the one-hour performance blends humor, tenderness, and song into a feel-good celebration of the season.

    Disney's Beauty and the Beast
    Broadway Dallas, December 16-January 4
    Disney’s 30th anniversary production is a breathtaking musical filled with the romance and grandeur. The enchanting and timeless tale has been brought to life like never before, with spectacular new sets and dazzling costumes. The show boasts the Oscar-winning and Tony Award-nominated score, including the classic songs “Be Our Guest” and “Beauty and the Beast.”

    Leslie Odom, Jr.: The Christmas Tour
    AT&T Performing Arts Center, December 20
    This festive concert features holiday classics, originals from Odom's Christmas albums, and special performances of songs from Hamilton, the Broadway phenomenon that earned him a Tony for his iconic role as Aaron Burr.

    Sarah Brightman: A Winter Symphony
    AT&T Performing Arts Center, December 21
    Soprano Sarah Brightman, of Phantom of the Opera fame, comes to Dallas with her new Christmas spectacle featuring an orchestra, choir, special guests, and Brightman performing many of her holiday classics and greatest hits.

    Mrs. Doubtfire
    Broadway at the Center, December 26-28
    Out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard will do anything for his kids. After losing custody in a messy divorce, he creates the kindly alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As his new character takes on a life of its own, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father.
