The producers of Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast' and '42nd Street' bring you Jerry Bock's musical about a father of five trying to maintain his family and religious traditions while the world and civilization around him change rapidly.

Date Location
Chunky old-fashioned explorer Rick O'Connell (Fraser) returns, and this time he's off to check out the catacombs of ancient China.
