Broadway in Hollywood just pulled back the curtain on the venue's splashy 2023-2024 season, giving fans a peek at what to expect on the famous stage.
Five of the shows will enjoy their Los Angeles premieres, while a few others will be tried-and-terrific favorites among local theater regulars.
First up? It's "MJ the Musical," a "Tony Award-winning musical that explores the creative and collaborative spirit of Michael Jackson."
"The Wiz" will dance down the Yellow Brick Road soon after, and soon after that show eases onto its next engagement? "Chicago the Musical" will celebrate its 25th anniversary.
"Girl From the North Country," with words and music by Bob Dylan, is next up, then "Mrs. Doubtfire" is set to deliver the smiles and snappy dialogue.
A new production of "Peter Pan" will then swoop in, with a revival of "Company" and "Les Misérables" rounding out the outsized, award-packed, big-thrills season.
The question sure to follow is this: "When can I get tickets?" If you're a current season ticket holder, you're invited to renew as soon as you like, and "new customers may purchase season ticket packages" beginning on Feb. 22, too.
For further details on each production's background, creative team, and history, wave your sequined fedora in the air and kick-step over to the Broadway in Hollywood site now.
