The Boy Who Loved Batman Oct. 1-Nov. 10 (World Premiere) Based on a true story, The Boy Who Loved Batman is an inspirational comedy about one man’s vision that became a national phenomenon. It’s a crazy journey that goes from New Jersey to Hollywood, comic books to the silver screen. Every hero needs a hero, even Batman. Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical Nov. 12-17 Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical is the record-setting Broadway holiday sensation which features the hit songs “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” from the original animated special. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is “two sizes too small,” decides to steal Christmas away from the holiday loving Whos. Magnificent sets and costumes inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations help transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville and helps remind us of the true meaning of the holiday season. Don’t miss what The New York Times calls “an extraordinary performance! 100 times better than any bedtime story.” Some Like it Hot Dec. 10-15 Winner of four Tony Awards®, including Best Choreography and Best Costumes, and the Grammy Award® for Best Musical Theater Album, Some Like it Hot is “A super-sized, all-out song-and-dance spectacular!” – The New York Times. Set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement, Some Like it Hot is the “glorious, big, high-kicking” (Associated Press) story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they catch a cross-country train for the life-chasing, life-changing trip of a lifetime. Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations (Broadway Encore) Jan. 3-5, 2025 Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations returns to the Straz by popular demand. It’s the electrifying smash-hit Broadway musical that follows The Temptations’ extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, set to the beat of the group’s treasured hits, including “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Get Ready,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and so many more! The Cher Show Jan. 14-19, 2025 Superstars come and go. Cher is forever. For six straight decades, only one unstoppable force has flat-out dominated popular culture ¬¬¬– breaking down barriers, pushing boundaries and letting nothing and no one stand in her way. The Cher Show is the Tony Award®-winning musical of her story, and it’s packed with so much Cher that it takes three women to play her: the kid starting out, the glam pop star and the icon. The Cher Show is 35 smash hits, six decades of stardom, two rock-star husbands, a Grammy®, an Oscar®, an Emmy® and enough Tony Award-winning Bob Mackie gowns to cause a sequin shortage in New York City, all in one unabashedly fabulous new musical that will have audiences dancing in the aisles! MAMMA MIA! (Broadway Encore) Jan. 28-Feb. 2, 2025 A mother. A daughter. 3 possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you’ll never forget! Set on a Greek island paradise where the sun always shines, a tale of love, friendship, and identity is beautifully told through the timeless hits of ABBA. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the father she’s never known brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited decades ago. For nearly 25 years, people all around the world have fallen in love with the characters, the story and the music that make MAMMA MIA! the ultimate feel-good show. A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical Feb. 11-16, 2025 Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A Beautiful Noise is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chartbusting, show-stopping American rock icon. With 120 million albums sold, a catalogue of classics like “America,” “Forever in Blue Jeans” and “Sweet Caroline,” an induction into the Songwriters and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award and sold-out concerts around the world that made him bigger than Elvis, Neil Diamond’s story was made to shine on Broadway – and head out on the road across America. Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical before it, A Beautiful Noise is an inspiring, exhilarating, energy-filled musical memoir, that tells the untold true story of how America’s greatest hitmaker became a star, set to the songs that defined his career. MJ the Musical Feb. 25-March 2, 2025 He is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Now, Michael Jackson’s unique and unparalleled artistry comes to Tampa as MJ the Musical, the multi-Tony Award®-winning new musical centered around the making of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour, begins a tour of its own. Created by Tony Award-winning director/choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status. Disney’s The Lion King April 2-20, 2025 More than 100 million people around the world have experienced the phenomenon of Disney’s The Lion King, and now you can, too, when Tampa’s best-loved musical returns to the Straz Center. Winner of six Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, this landmark musical event brings together one of the most imaginative creative teams on Broadway. Tony Award-winning director Julie Taymor brings to life a story filled with hope and adventure set against an amazing backdrop of stunning visuals. The Lion King also features some of Broadway’s most recognizable music, crafted by Tony Award-winning artists Elton John and Tim Rice. There is simply nothing else like The Lion King. Mystic Pizza April 29-May 4, 2025 Based on the beloved 1988 MGM rom-com that launched the career of Julia Roberts, Mystic Pizza is a new musical about three working-class girls who navigate the complexities of life, love and family in a small-town pizza joint serving everyone from the townies to the privileged country club set. And what’s in that secret sauce, you ask? The hits of the ‘80s and ‘90s! The hit songs range from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” to “Hold On” to “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now.” Shucked June 3-8, 2025 Shucked is the Tony Award®–winning musical comedy The Wall Street Journal calls “flat out hilarious!” And nobody knows funny like economists. Featuring a book by Tony Award winner Robert Horn (Tootsie), a score by the Grammy® Award–winning songwriting team of Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally (Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow”) and directed by Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien (Hairspray), this corn-fed, corn-bred American musical is sure to satisfy your appetite for great musical theater.  To keep up to date with the very latest happenings in Orlando, sign up to the   Gotta Go Orlando Newsletter , and don't forget to follow us on social media for everything Orlando: Twitter , Facebook , Instagram , and  YouTube .

  • Health & Safety In Orlando | Gotta Go Orlando

    Safety In Orlando Millions of people travel to Orlando every year and have a wonderful time without any safety issues whatsoever. ​ However, as with any tourist destination in the world, crime and the threat of terrorism is a fact of life, so it is important that you are aware of your surroundings and take some actions that can help prevent you from being a victim. Take a common sense approach and if you see anything suspicious call 9-1-1. Safety Tips It is always good common sense to keep the following safety tips in mind when traveling: ​ Always lock the front door and any patio doors when inside a hotel room and before leaving. Use the safety chain/lock for security. ​ Never open the hotel room door unless you know who is there. If you did not call for the service offered by the person at the door, call hotel security or the front desk to see if they have sent someone to your room. Place valuables in a safety deposit box in your room or at the safe in the hotel office. Do not leave valuables in your car. When checking into a hotel, consult the floor plan map on the back of your room door to familiarize yourself with fire and emergency exits. ​ When driving, keep all car doors locked. Give or pin your cell phone number to children in case you are separated. For Emergencies, Dial 9-1-1 ​ ​ If You Loose Your Passport If you are an international visitor to Florida and you lose your passport, you should immediately notify the police and the nearest Embassy or Consulate of your home government. You will need to show ID and proof of citizenship as well as pay a fee and file a police report. Replacements can take up to two weeks, but some consulates offer a three-day rush service for a fee. In an emergency, some consulates provide temporary travelling papers that will allow you to re-enter your home country with a passport. It is a good idea to make two photocopies of your passport and any other travel documents before leaving home. Take copies with you, packed separately from the originals, and leave the other set with someone at home. Having copies available will expedite passport replacement should it become necessary. ​ ​ Driving Safety Considerations ​ Florida's Safety Belt Law means all front seat occupants must buckle up. ​Passengers 18 years of age or older may be individually fined if they are not buckled up. ​ Passengers under the age of 18 must be belted in either the front or back seat of the vehicle and passengers aged 5 and under must be secured in a federally approved child-restraint seat. ​ Mosquito Safety Considerations There has been no local, mosquito-borne transmissions of the Zika virus in Orlando. Orlando’s tourism areas are some of the most frequently managed areas for mosquito control. ​ Wildlife Safety Considerations Central Florida's animal population is diverse and plentiful, however, visitors must take safety precautions while in any outdoor setting. ​ Avoid feeding or harassing wildlife of any kind, especially bears and alligators. State law prohibits the killing, possession or harassment of alligators. ​ Alligators and snakes are not just found in the wild, but in lakes, rivers and marshes,residential neighborhoods and around golf courses. When near any type of fresh or brackish water, be aware of the possibility of this wildlife. ​ Never leave any children or pets unsupervised near water, and do not swim at night or in any areas not designated for swimming. Urgent Care Millions of visitors travel to Orlando every year and have the time of their lives, however from time to time we get unwell and may require a Doctor or a Dentist. Fortunately, here in Orlando we have excellent health care facilities available 24/7, 365 days per year and you will be in safe hands at all times. ​ Orlando has many friendly, professional walk in medical care facilities for all kinds of urgent (non life-threatening) medical needs. Most major insurance plans are accepted and appointments are never needed. ​ Urgent Care Versus The Emergency Room: Depending on you or your loved one's condition, an urgent care facility might be more appropriate than going to an emergency room, or it could be the reverse situation An emergency is defined as a serious medical condition or symptom caused by an injury or sickness, or mental illness, which arises suddenly and requires immediate treatment to avoid death or disability. This can be a difficult decision to make, especially when things are happening quickly, the list below to help guide your decision. If you think you are having a medical emergency, you should call 9-1-1 immediately. Urgent Care Allergies Asthma Back Pain Bronchitis Cold, Flu or Fever Cough Fractures Headaches Infections Lacerations Minor Burns Nausea Rash Sore Throat Sprains Vomiting Diarrhea Pink Eye Ear Infection Emergency Room Chest Pains Compound Fractures Ingestions of Poisons Major Head Injuries Major Trauma Seizures Severe Burns Shock Snake Bites Uncontrollable Bleading Difficulty Breathing Stroke Heart Attack
