Legally Blonde (directed and choreographed by Marc Robin), The Pirates of Penzance, Dreamgirls and My One and Only are also on the schedule.

Hero, conceived and written by Aaron Thielen, has music and lyrics by Chicagoland songwriter Michael Mahler. In the show, according to Marriott, "aspiring comic book artist Hero Batowski lives anything but a superhero's life — he's 28 years old, works in his family's comic book shop and still lives at home with his dad. A long-ago tragedy left Hero unable to move on with his life. When a series of unexpected events occur, Hero must decide whether he is ready to finally face his fears and get his life on track. This quirky new musical explores those extraordinary moments in an ordinary life as a young man discovers the hero within."

Performances will play June 20-Aug, 19, 2012. Additional creative personnel will be announced.
