I've enjoyed "Phantom" at the Ordway, "Angels of America" at the U of MN, and "42nd Street" at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater...all great entertainment. What are your favorites? ( Edited by plmiller )

Ordway

In 1980, Sally Ordway Irvine (3M heiress and arts patron) dreamed of a European-style concert hall offering “everything from opera to the Russian circus.” Sally contributed $7.5 million—a sum matched by other members of the Ordway family—toward the cost of the facility. The internationally known architect (and Saint Paul native) Ben Thompson was selected to design a building that would project “a visible contemporary image” but would also fit harmoniously on a site facing Rice Park. Ordway Center (originally named Ordway Music Theatre) contains the Main Hall ; an intimate McKnight Theatre ; two large rehearsal rooms; and the Marzitelli Foyer, a spacious two-story lobby with a glass curtain-wall through which theater-goers enjoy a sweeping panorama of Rice Park and in the distance, the Mississippi River.
