The Maltz Jupiter Theatre in north Palm Beach County is offering audiences classics of every genre, starting with Agatha Christie’s quintessential whodunnit, “Murder on the Orient Express,” Oct. 29 – Nov. 12.

This clever adaptation boasts all the glamour, intrigue and suspense with a healthy dose of humor to quicken the pace.
The magic of the yuletide season comes to life in Charles Dickens masterpiece, “A Christmas Carol,” Nov. 28 – Dec. 10.

“Beautiful – The Carole King Musical,” Jan. 9 – 28, traces a remarkable path to stardom – first as part of a hit songwriting team and then becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. This jukebox musical includes all the beloved songs, including “I Feel the Earth Move,” “One Fine Day” and “You’ve Got a Friend,” that became the soundtrack for many generations.
In Neil Simon’s “Plaza Suite,” Feb. 11 – 25, audiences are invited to check into suite 719 at New York’s Plaza Hotel in the swinging 1960s and end up meeting three comical couples: a long-married couple revisiting their honeymoon suite to rekindle the flame; a Hollywood producer on the prowl, reunited with his childhood sweetheart; and the parents of a nervous bride who has locked herself in the bathroom!
Artistic director Andrew Kato’s season wraps up with “42nd Street,” March 12 – 31. This love letter to Broadway is the ultimate show biz fairy tale of the chorus kid who becomes an overnight star. A 1930s backstage musical packed with plenty of pizzazz, it will set your heart pounding with its rhythmically tapping feet and a hit parade of songs, including “Lullaby of Broadway,” “We’re in the Money,” “Shuffle Off to Buffalo,” and of course, “42nd Street.”
