By:

Tickets for the inaugural season of the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival are now on sale. Tickets can be purchased online, by calling 315-255-1785 or 800-457-8897, or in person at the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival winter offices in the Westminster Presbyterian Church located at 17 William St. 2nd Floor, Auburn, N.Y.

Beginning in May, the 250-performance, professional musical theater festival will offer shows that range from revivals of the most storied classics to newer favorites, along with 20 new musicals, presented in their earliest stages of development, in a series known as “THE PITCH.”

The Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival will be held at three different venues just minutes away from each other. As the festival continues to grow in the upcoming years organizers anticipate the festival to annually draw 150,000 attendees, generate a $30 million boost to the local economy and help create 400 new jobs.

Heralded as a top travel destination by “Shermans Travel” magazine, the Finger Lakes region offers fine dining, celebrated wineries and outdoor activities once the curtains close.

Tickets are now available including single-show tickets; Off-Broadway Passes, which include one ticket to each show at Auburn Public Theater; Merry-Go-Round Playhouse subscriptions, which include one ticket to each of the four shows at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse; and Flex Passes, which allow for flexibility in selecting up to nine musicals. Group rates and an “early bird/night owl special” are also available.

Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival, produced by the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse in Auburn, N.Y., is a new annual summer-long festival featuring nine professional musical productions along with 20 new musicals, presented in their earliest stages of development, in a series known as “THE PITCH.” The festival will offer productions at three different venues just minutes away from each other. As the festival continues to grow in the upcoming years, organizers anticipate the festival to annually draw 150,000 attendees, generate a $30 million boost to the local economy and help create 400 new jobs.
