Philadelphia, Christmas ’83. Big shoulder pads. Big hair. Big greed. 

Billy Ray Valentine is an out-of-work street hustler with a con for every occasion. Louis Winthorpe III is an out-of-touch commodities broker without a care in the world. But during a single holiday season, they become the pawns in an elaborate bet orchestrated by the Dukes, two scheming old brothers, and their lives are forever upended in a hilarious riches-to-rags and rags-to-riches story. 

Inspired by the beloved film, TRADING PLACES is a new musical comedy that will have audiences looking good and feeling good. This show features funny business written by Thomas Lennon (Night at the Museum, “Reno 911”), a score by Alan Zachary & Michael Weiner (First Date), choreography by Fatima Robinson (Super Bowl Halftime Show 2022, “The Wiz Live!”) and direction by Tony Award® winner Kenny Leon (Othello starring Denzel Washington, Purlie Victorious starring Leslie Odom Jr.).
