Morrison Center Named One Of The Top 100 Theatre Venues Worldwide

The Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts was listed as one of the top 100 theatre venues for worldwide ticket sales in Pollstar's mid-year report. Pollstar is the only trade publication covering the worldwide concert industry, providing in-depth information to entertainment professionals for more than 25 years. The Morrison Center was listed 44th with 60,812 tickets reported for the period of 1/1/11 to 6/30/11. Ticket figures include selected national presentations reportable to Pollstar and not all events ticketed during that period.

"The 2010-2011 Season was extremely successful," said James Patrick, Executive Director of the Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts. "Our Fred Meyer Broadway In Boise had some very strong offerings, including WICKED, which sold out 16 performances and was the most successful show in the Center's history. We are excited to build on that success with our upcoming Broadway series and other presentations. We have some very strong presenting partners, including Magic Space Entertainment, as well as other national promoters that played an important role in this success."

In 2011-2012, the Morrison Center's Broadway Series is scheduled to premiere the 1st National Tour of The National Theatre's critically-acclaimed War Horse and other Center premieres, as well as Broadway classics revisited. The 2011-2012 Broadway series includes ten presentations in all and is one of the largest in the Center's history.

In addition to Broadway shows, the Center will host national entertainers presented by outside promoters and augment its self-presented schedule to include blues, jazz and dance offerings, plus a soon-to-be announced family series.
