Great Lakes Theater presents in partnership with Oberlin Conservatory of Music
The World Goes 'Round is a stunning revue of the songbook from the multi-Tony award-winning team, Kander and Ebb, with the original production winning three Drama Desk Awards.
Filled with humor, romance, drama and nonstop melody, The World Goes ‘Round is a thrilling celebration of life and the fighting spirit that keeps us all going. From Cabaret to Chicago, the nonstop hit-parade features unforgettable gems, including "Mr. Cellophane," "Maybe This Time," "Cabaret" and "New York, New York," seamlessly interwoven into a passionate, harmonious, up-tempo evening of musical theatre.
Please note: The 1GCC – 25 & Under with ID price is intended for patrons age 25 or younger. Please be prepared to show ID at Will Call; for young children without ID, a parent or guardian may confirm their age when picking up tickets. If this ticket type is purchased by mistake, feel free to call us before the performance. We’re happy to help adjust your tickets and take care of any price difference.
