Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Rock Classics. Real Heart. Big Laughs.


Classic pop-rock favorites burst to life, woven with intimate, cabaret-style moments where performers share funny, heartfelt stories about love — the kind that will have you laughing one minute and leaning a little closer to the person beside you the next.

A powerhouse band fuels iconic anthems with electric sing-along energy, while those in-between moments make it feel personal and quite playful.

It’s fresh and yet nostalgic —
a celebration of love in all its forms and phases — steady, surprising, hard-earned, and deeply felt… in a concert experience that’ll leave you glowing.

Inside the Birth of a New Work with Rob Bell

Be among the first to encounter Rob Bell’s newest theatrical work — not at its final arrival, but at the living, breathing beginning. Before its 2028 world premiere at Prima, Play With A Play offers a rare chance to hear the not-yet-announced piece early, while it is still being discovered in the room.

Professional actors give the work its first life aloud, creating an experience that places you unusually close to the creative spark. The evening then opens into live conversation with both author and performers, exploring what is stirring in the piece, what is resonating in the room, and what it means to meet a story this early in its life.

This is more than attending an intimate performance. It is a front-row seat to the creative process itself — a chance to experience a new work while it is still near its source, alive, immediate, and full of possibility. A rare opportunity to witness how new work takes its first breath and to take part in the dialogue that helps shape what it becomes.

For Prima subscribers, Play With A Play serves as your fifth experience of the season, offering a front-row seat not only to a performance, but to the creative heartbeat behind it. Also open to Prima sponsors and Producer’s Circle donors.

Blank

One performer. One script full of blanks. One room buzzing with possibility.

A guest performer walks onstage having never seen the script. They discover it for the first time alongside the audience, with one more surprise waiting: the script is full of blanks.

That’s where you come in.

With help from the audience, the performer fills in the story in real time. Every performance features a new person on stage and a completely one-of-a-kind experience shaped by the people who are present.

Funny and unexpectedly moving, BLANK turns theatre into a playful shared adventure. You may be invited to help fill in a blank, but you won’t be asked to perform. Just come ready for an experience that can only happen once — and only with you in the room.

Produced by special permission of Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour.
