Seussical - http://www.seussical.com
Seussical is a contemporary re-imagining of Dr. Seuss, which weaves together many of his most famous stories and characters in unexpected ways.

Wicked - http://www.wickedthemusical.com
Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most spellbinding new musical in years.
Caroline or Change - http://www.carolineorchange.com

After being dumped by his girlfriend Toffee, an orphan named Jonny rides off on his motorcycle into the nuclear waste of a neighboring atomic power plant. Even though he is buried in a lead-lined coffin at the bottom of the ocean, Jonny returns as a teenage nuclear zombie, "glowing" and determined to graduate and take his girl to the senior prom
Aida - can't find official website
AIDA is a contemporary musical take on the grand classic tale of the love between a soldier and an enslaved princess – a love that condemns them to death, but ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between the two warring nations, heralding an unprecedented time of peace and prosperity.
The Wild Party - can't find official website
THE WILD PARTY tells the story of one wild evening in the Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie and Burrs, a vaudeville dancer and a vaudeville clown. In a relationship marked by vicious behavior and recklessness (mirroring the time in which they live), they decide to throw a party to end all parties.
Hope that helps in some way.
