HAMILTON CONFIRMED FOR 2018-2019 SEASON
MEMPHIS, TN – Today the Orpheum Theatre Group unveiled the highly anticipated 2017-2018 Broadway Season at an announcement party at the historic Orpheum Theatre. Attendees were the first to hear about next season’s exciting offerings. HAMILTON was officially announced as part of the Orpheum’s 2018-2019 Broadway Season.
“This upcoming season of shows has collectively earned an impressive 21 Tony Awards,” said Brett Batterson, President & CEO of the Orpheum Theatre Group. “From shows that just stepped off Broadway to award-winning revivals, this season’s lineup gives you a chance to discover new favorites and to rediscover the titles you know and love.”
The 2017-2018 subscription series includes Rodgers & Hammerstein’s THE KING AND I, AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, FINDING NEVERLAND, THE COLOR PURPLE, and SOMETHING ROTTEN! Season options include return engagements of the Spectacular New Production of THE PHANTOM OF THEOPERA and Memphis’ most popular musical, WICKED. The 2017-2018 Broadway Season is generously sponsored in part by Memphis Area Honda Dealers. Subscribers for the 2017-2018 season will be first in line to secure their tickets for HAMILTON when renewing their subscription next year.
“We are so excited to host HAMILTON during our 2018-2019 Season,” continued Batterson. “The best way to guarantee seats to this blockbuster show? Become a Broadway season subscriber now!”
