Excalibur
2026-02-20 19:30 (America/New_York)
Starring Nigel Terry, Helen Mirren, & Nicholas Clay

Merlin the magician helps Arthur Pendragon unite the Britons around the Round Table of Camelot, even as dark forces conspire to tear it apart.

The initial fight scene had to be filmed three times. It was filmed at night, and all of the film came out underexposed the first two times, due to a fault in the exposure meter. The cameraman had a nervous breakdown over the issue and quit.

Dame Helen Mirren and Nicol Williamson were initially reluctant to work with each other. They’d been in a disastrous production of “Macbeth”, and were not on speaking terms. Writer, producer, and director Sir John Boorman cast them because their natural animosity would be perfect. According to Mirren, she and Williamson “wound up becoming very good friends” during filming.

The black smoke in Arthur’s first siege on a castle was created by burning tires. It left black flakes on a nearby town.

The Princess Bride | Feb 28 & Mar 1
2026-02-28 19:30 - 2026-03-01 14:00 (America/New_York)
Starring Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin & Robin Wright

The Strand is proud to bring this beloved tale back to the Big Screen, a story that a grandfather reads to his grandson, which, in addition to swashbuckling and adventures galore, also includes – gulp – kissing.

Mandy Patinkin who just performed at the Strand has said that the role of Inigo Montoya is his personal favorite over the course of his entire career.

According to author William Goldman, when he was first trying to get the movie made in the 1970s, a then-unknown Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to play Fezzik, and he was strongly being considered because Goldman could never get his first choice, André the Giant, to read for the role. By the time the movie was made about twelve years later, Schwarzenegger was such a big star they could not afford him. Andre was cast after all, and the two big men had gone on to become friends.

When asked what his favorite thing about making this film was, André the Giant replied, without skipping a beat, “Nobody looks at me.” He felt treated as an equal, without people staring at him because of his grand height.

Robin Wright and Cary Elwes were smitten with each other during filming, naturally helping their chemistry in the movie. Elwes said that he “couldn’t concentrate on much of anything after that first encounter with Robin.”

It’s a very rare treat to bring both of these bands together for one incredible night of original music, and an outstanding concert experience in the intimate setting of The Strand!

NEW HOLLOW is a pop-rock trio known for their infectious songs, signature vocal blend, & electrifying concerts. Combining distorted guitars with nostalgic close harmonies, they’ve been described as a mix between The Everly Brothers and Nirvana. New Hollow gained national attention by performing the National Anthem at the Thanksgiving Day game at Cowboys Stadium, then landed 3 singles on Billboard’s Hot 100, and shared the stage with acts like Fall Out Boy, Train, and Joan Jett.

THE BAND LIGHT describes themselves as a ‘rock n roll boy band’. It’s old-soul musicality and captivating star power that create their dynamic live performances, capturing the hearts of passionate fans across the U.S. and beyond. They brought their show to an arena stage at Penn State’s annual THON, BMI’s Nashville showcase music festival, and various shows at ‘THE POP UP’ series alongside the Jonas Brothers. In 2024, the band supported Quarters of Change on their ‘Portraits Tour’ along the East Coast and New Hope Club on their US tour.

The Searchers
2026-03-08 14:00 (America/New_York)
Starring John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, & Vera Miles

On it’s 70th anniversary, experience this acclaimed Western starring Wayne as a Civil War veteran who embarks on a years-long journey to rescue his niece from the Comanches after the rest of his brother’s family is massacred in a raid on their Texas farm.

Considering the part of Ethan Edwards to be the best character that he ever portrayed on-screen and The Searchers (1956) to be his favorite film role, John Wayne named his youngest son Ethan Wayne in homage.

Natalie Wood was still a student in high school when this film was being made, and, on several occasions, John Wayne and Jeffrey Hunter had to pick her up at school. This caused a good deal of excitement among Wood’s female classmates.

Rhett Walker | Faith & Family Tour with Olivia Lane
2026-03-12 19:00 (America/New_York)
Grammy and Dove Nominated Christian Music Artist

Rhett Walker is a Grammy and Dove nominated Christian singer-songwriter known for his Southern rock style and faith-filled storytelling. His debut single, When Mercy Found Me, earned him a Grammy nomination and introduced his heartfelt, storytelling style to the Christian music scene. Since then, he has received multiple GMA Dove Award nominations for his inspiring music. With hits like Gospel Song, Somebody Say Amen, Believer, and Man on the Middle Cross, Walker continues to share messages of faith and redemption all over the country.

Rhett is still in the midst of mapping out his all-new ‘Faith & Family Tour’ for 2026, but one thing is certain. He’ll be visiting Zelienople for the very first time! Used to playing much larger venues across the country, we were thrilled when his agent told him about The Strand, and he was genuinely intrigued about performing with his full band in such an intimate space.

Rhett will be joined on his 2026 tour by OLIVIA LANE, a Nashville-based recording artist & songwriter. During a popular string of viral TikTok posts in 2021 sharing her “atheist to amen” journey, she shared her song Woman At The Well, which struck a massive chord on the youth-oriented social media platform. Lane is known as much for her beaming smile and disarming charm as her pristine, soulful performances.

Enjoy this lyric video of one of Rhett’s biggest hits, Somebody Say Amen, then see him live on stage in the intimate setting of The Strand Theater on Thursday, March 12!

Sinners
2026-03-13 19:30 (America/New_York)
Starring Michael B. Jordan, Miles Caton and Saul Williams

See the film nominated for 16 Academy Awards on the big screen before the Oscars!

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

Director Ryan Coogler said that two of his biggest influences for the film were From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) and The Faculty (1998) both directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Filmed primarily in New Orleans and the surrounding areas of Louisiana during the spring of 2024, meaning high heat most of the time. Wunmi Mosaku says they learned fast to follow Michael B. Jordan’s lead and not complain – but maybe still vent. “What I learned from Michael was he doesn’t complain. He would just kind of be very still in his very thick suits -very thick, very hot. He would be like, ‘There’s nothing we can do to change it, so let’s just kind of push through,’ because the complaining brings you down a little bit.” Mosaku clarifies, though: “Except for the bugs. The bugs were hard to not complain about.”

Forever Simon & Garfunkel

Tribute to the Best Selling Duo in Rock History

Forever Simon & Garfunkel: A Tribute celebrates the best selling duo in rock’n’roll history. With humor, soaring energy, charm, and laser precise harmony, Sean Altman & Jack Skuller lead the audience on a concert journey through Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s teenage roots, their early success as a groovy folk act, their global dominance as hit-makers, and even some of Paul Simon’s solo career, with songs like The Sound Of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Mrs. Robinson, I Am A Rock, The Boxer, Homeward Bound, Cecilia, Hazy Shade Of Winter, Feeling Groovy, Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Kodachrome, and many more!

Award-winning singer-songwriters Sean Altman (Rockapella) & Jack Skuller (Songwriters Hall Of Fame Buddy Holly Prize) met on stage in 2010, when they were paired at a variety show to duet Mrs. Robinson. Jack had just celebrated his 14th birthday, and Sean had just celebrated his shiny new AARP card, but the audience found their December-January musical bromance and brotherly harmony to be enchanting and mesmerizing. They formed Forever Simon & Garfunkel in 2020, and tour internationally.

Check out this delightful promo reel, which not only showcases this duo’s amazing vocal talent,but their genuine chemistry as performers!

The Everly Set
2026-03-15 14:00 (America/New_York)
A Celebration of The Everly Brothers

In 1957, teens Phil and Don Everly supercharged the vocal sound of Rock’n’Roll with “Bye Bye Love” and “Wake Up Little Susie”, unleashing the sparkling vocal harmonies that would influence The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, The Hollies, The Eagles, Peter Paul & Mary, and the Bee Gees.

Now, six decades later, two acclaimed singer-songwriters with a mind-bending three-decade age difference combine millennial pluck with baby-boomer sass to present The Everly Set: Sean Altman & Jack Skuller Celebrate The Everly Brothers, featuring Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, Cathy’s Clown, All I Have To Do Is Dream, When Will I Be Loved, Crying In The Rain, Love Hurts, Bird Dog, Claudette, Walk Right Back, and more hits and rarities in concert.

Jack Skuller signed his first recording contract at just 14 years old. His debut single “Love is a Drum” was called “arguably the best single released by anyone [that] year” by The Examiner, and The New York Post labeled Skuller “a mini Jack White.” His music career has since earned him a reputation for powerful live shows rooted in old school rock’n’roll. In his teen years, Skuller performed his original music for thousands of people across the U.S. as a Disney recording artist. He has been featured on the Disney Channel, FOX-TV’s Good Day New York, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, and with the GRAMMY Foundation. His music was selected for an ASPCA campaign, and is continually played on indie rock radio across the U.S. (including Sirius XM). The Songwriters Hall of Fame recognized his talent by awarding him the esteemed Buddy Holly Prize. Now, Skuller continues to produce his raucous, catchy brand of rockabilly and rock’n’roll that American Songwriter once noted as “analog, vintage, and cool, with a sincerity.” As NYC The Deli Magazine put it – “Buddy Holly would be proud.”

Ex-Rockapella star Sean Altman is “tuneful and sharply witty” (Los Angeles Times) and “relentlessly clever” (Chicago Tribune), with “catchy melodies, clever arrangements and lyrics that yield satiric gems” (Washington Post), combining “the tunefulness of the Beatles and the spot-on wit of Tom Lehrer” (Boston Globe) with a “silky tenor voice that produced chills” (New York Times). Altman — widely regarded as “the Father of Modern A Cappella” — co-founded and led the pioneering vocal group Rockapella through its heyday on the Emmy-winning daily PBS-TV series Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, for which he co-wrote the famous theme song. Original songs from his six albums have been featured on dozens of TV and radio shows including Saturday Night Live, NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, and Schoolhouse Rock. Altman has twice performed at the White House, he has shared concert stages with Billy Joel, Steve Miller, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jay Leno and Joey Ramone, and he has recorded with artists as varied as Steve Miller, XTC, John Cale, Richie Havens, and They Might Be Giants.

Spend Part of Your Easter Season with This Groundbreaking Rock Opera

The Motown concerts may hold the record as our most popular concert series, but the undisputed champion of our full-cast productions is Jesus Christ Superstar! When we premiered it in 2016, it was the first time we sold out every seat in the run. The 2018 revival was rated by our patrons as even better than the televised version starring John Legend that aired that same year on NBC. In 2022, the shows were sold out weeks in advance!

We’re excited to bring Andrew Lloyd Webber’s trailblazing musical back to center stage in this fully-produced event to help you celebrate the Easter season.

There’s no better way to experience this groundbreaking musical than in the intimate setting of The Strand, where you won’t miss a single smile, whisper, or tear. The show brings you to joyous heights and deep sorrow, as it explores Christ’s humanity during his final days on Earth.

Jesus Christ Superstar is part of our ‘Tis the Season subscription series that also included Chiller Theatre: The Musical and Yacht Rock Live.

Broadway’s Juliet Ewing Takes You Thru the Musical Journey of the Iconic George Gershwin

George Gershwin was one of the most significant and prolific composers of all time. Of course, he’s known for his work on Broadway, but just as significant and relevant were his orchestral and piano compositions in which he blended, in varying degrees, the techniques and forms of classical music with the stylistic nuances of popular music and jazz.

Broadway Star, JULIET EWING returns to The Strand, so much a fan of the Gershwin songbook that she created her own cabaret show around it. Now, she’s thrilled to collaborate with us on a more expansive exploration of Gershwin’s iconic works.

The Music of George Gershwin is part of our Broadway On Main subscription series that also included Rock of Ages and Solid Gold: In Concert.

Toast To The Rat Pack & Marilyn

DIRECT FROM LAS VEGAS! It’s a genuine pleasure to welcome back renowned tribute artists, Sebastian Anzaldo (Frank), Andy DiMino (Dino), Lambus Dean (Sammy) and their sensational Toast to the Rat Pack! We’re also delighted with the return of the kittenish Susan Griffiths, whose unparalleled tribute to Marilyn Monroe has been seen in movies, TV and music videos for many years!

We first met Susan when she and Andy DiMino brought their sensational Marilyn & Dean show to The Strand in 2018. Their 2022 Christmas show, Baby, It’s Cold Outside Sold Out! Audiences were so enamored with Susan that, when we brought back the full Rat Pack, we asked them to bring Marilyn, too! It turns out, lots of fans love seeing Susan strut her way between Andy, Sebastian and Lambus! Susan has appeared in her Marilyn persona for such iconic film and TV shows like Pulp Fiction, Marilyn & Me, Nip/Tuck, as well as countless photo shoots and appearances. That video of Marilyn you saw when Elton John performed Candle in the Wind during his live concerts? Yep, that’s Susan!

Come fly with us to the glamorous, glitzy nights of 1960’s Las Vegas and see Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Marilyn Monroe together again. Revel in the sights, the banter and the music! When you see these amazing tribute artists, you’ll swear that you’ve traveled back in time to the Sands Casino! When you hear them sing, you’ll undoubtedly fall under the spell of “Mr. Bojangles.” Some would say their flawless renditions of “Come Fly With Me,” “That’s Amore” and “I Want to be Loved by You” are too good to be true, but see it for yourself and you’ll become a believer. This amazing cast will take you on a trip back to the bright, glamorous, sparkling nights of Las Vegas.

Experience the glory days of disco with NIGHT FEVER – A Tribute to the BEE GEES. This spectacular concert brings the greatest hits of the legendary pop group Bee Gees back to life.

It's A USO Christmas | Dec 19 & 20 Only!
2026-12-19 19:30 - 2026-12-20 14:00 UTC
Swing into that Good Old-Fashioned Christmas Spirit!

Nostalgia takes the stage as The Strand presents a concert event saluting those famous USO shows produced for our troops overseas back in the 1940s and 50s. Expect non-stop music, comedy and ‘backstage’ hijinks.

It’s a USO Christmas harkens back to the beloved variety shows made famous by the likes of Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Marilyn Monroe, and The Andrews Sisters. We honor these heroes of yesteryear with a fictional cast of characters and a story that weaves between on-stage performances and peaks ‘behind the curtain.’

The Emcee is the wise-cracking song and dance man, trying to keep his stars in line and the troops entertained. The Starlet is a voluptuous bombshell that handles anything from the sultry Santa Baby to the warm-hearted Christmas Song. The Broad has soul, wit & heart wrapped up in a bawdy, funny gal. She’ll make you laugh, then break your heart. The GI is young, handsome, idealistic, and sings like an angel.

It’s A USO Christmas is a show whose audience enthusiasm has grown every year since its debut. It continues to find new fans while others make it a part of their annual Christmas traditions, just like A Musical Christmas Carol or The Nutcracker. But this is an EXCLUSIVE production of The Strand. If you don’t see it here, you won’t see it anywhere else!

The Strand is an official charitable donor to United Service Organization, INC (USO), and a portion of all ticket proceeds will benefit this tremendous organization. It’s an honor and a privilege for this production to be recognized officially by USO!
