Three major shows coming soon to Clearwater:

Mutts Gone Nuts live on stage

Tampa Bay has gone to the dogs – in a good way. Our super dog-friendly region is replete with pup-friendly restaurants and venues, in addition to a plethora of dog parks, and pet boutiques. On January 14, Ruth Eckerd Hall (1111 McMullen Booth Rd) in Clearwater will host a special dog comedy show, Mutts Gone Nuts. Tickets for the show range from $18-$39 and can be reserved in advance online.

Canines and comedy will collide and unleash havoc and hilarity in a breathtaking, action-packed, comedy dog spectacular, featuring some of the world’s most talented four-legged performers with an uproariously funny, comedy dog spectacular that leaves audiences everywhere howling for more.

Imagine five of the world’s most talented 4-legged performers in an uproariously funny, comedy dog spectacular that is leaving audiences everywhere howling for more! The all-star lineup includes the highest jumping dog in the universe, a hilarious six-pound Pomeranian Pikachu mix, and a host of previously discarded dogs that will dance, prance, flip, and skip their way right into your heart.

Doors open at noon, and the show begins at 1pm. Attendees can also purchase a special pre-show brunch.

Broadway hit Annie live in Clearwater

The timeless classic Annie will take the Ruth Eckerd Hall stage on February 22. Tickets range from $35-$100, and a pre-show dinner add-on is also available.

Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production – just as you remember it and just when we need it most.

Annie, directed by Jenn Thompson, features the iconic book and score, written by Tony Award®-winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin. This celebration of family, optimism and the American spirit remains the ultimate cure for all the hard knocks life throws your way.

Lee Asher arrives in downtown Clearwater

Lee Asher, animal advocate and influential social media figure, makes his Bilheimer Capitol Theatre debut. The show is set for May 31 and tickets range from $49-$69.

Lee is an animal rescue advocate turned animal sanctuary operator, influencer, and star of the Discovery+ / Animal Planet series, My Pack Life, who documents his daily routine and life around The Asher House Sanctuary in Oregon for his millions of followers across social media.

After quitting his day job in 2017 to pursue his passion for rescuing animals and helping people, Lee and his rescue dogs hit the road in a “Skoolie” bus, working with shelters across the nation to host meet & greets and adoption events. Along the way, Lee learned to harness the power of social media to inspire positivity, laughter, and happy tears among his 7.5M+ followers. Not only does he share his furry friends, his audience is invested in his day-to-day lifestyle on the sanctuary, his wellness routines, and more.

The Bilheimer Capitol Theatre is located at 405 Cleveland Street.
