ROADSHOW
Where Every Object Has a Heartbeat
What if the most valuable thing in the room isn't an object at all?
Welcome to Roadshow, where five hopeful contestants arrive with treasured possessions, extraordinary stories, and dreams of discovering that what they've been holding onto might just be worth a fortune.
But when an eccentric collection of antiques experts begins examining everything from mysterious heirlooms to unexpected curiosities, the competition takes some hilarious—and deeply moving—turns.
As secrets are revealed, memories come to life, and the stakes grow higher, one woman's journey transforms an ordinary appraisal contest into something nobody could have anticipated.
Filled with memorable characters, witty humor, heartfelt songs, and a few priceless surprises, Roadshow, the Antiques Musical is a delightful new musical comedy about love, loss, second chances, and the things we treasure most.
Because sometimes, the most valuable thing in the room is the person holding it.
Meet the Objects
Five contestants. Five treasures. Every one with a story to tell. And one woman with a past to reclaim.
Come see what we have in store
