Mazel Musicals, Inc. and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts present Time After Time: The Songs of Jule Stynefrom Wed., Feb. 9th through Sun., Feb. 13th. Specializing in songs created for stars including Carol Channing, Ethel Merman and Barbra Streisand, Styne composed some of America’s bestloved and most enduring songs for Broadway, films, television and radio. Guest star Deborah Tranelli and some of the area’s best entertainers perform a score filled with gold standards of the American Songbook including “Just In Time,” “Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend,” “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “Time After Time,” “I’ve Heard That Song Before” and “People.” Showtimes are Wed., Feb. 9 through Fri., Feb. 11 at 8 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 12 at 2 and 8 p.m.; and Sun., Feb. 13 at 2 and 7 p.m. This is a presentation in the Melodies and Memories Series, which is sponsored by Vi Living at Aventura, and was conceived and directed by Barry Levitt, former Artistic Director of New York’s 92nd Street Y’s smash Lyrics and Lyricists Series.

Mazel Musicals, Inc. and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts present Zero Hour from Wed., Feb. 16 through Sun., Feb. 27. Jim Brochu won a Carbonell Award for this striking portrayal, which brings all of Zero Mostel’s swagger, ferocity, intelligence and fantastic wit back to the stage in a volcanic tour-de-force directed by three-time Oscar-nominated film star, Piper Laurie. A naïve reporter attempts to interview the famously volatile artist, prompting an explosion of memory, humor, outrage and juicy backstage lore. Best remembered for his comedic genius and his definitive roles such creating Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, Mostel was equally known for his place on the infamous Hollywood blacklist of the 50s. Showtimes are Wed. through Fri. at 8 p.m.; Sat. at 2 and 8 p.m.; and Sun. at 2 and 7 p.m. This is a presentation of the Double Chai Theatrical Series. Tickets are $36.
