"We have the biggest and best lineup of shows in our history coming to our iconic Belk Theater over the course of the next year and we look forward to celebrating with the whole community," said Blumenthal President/CEO Tom Gabbard. "These free Open Houses are a great way for all patrons to truly get to know Charlotte's premiere spot for touring Broadway."

The Open Houses will include exclusive backstage tours and an Inside Broadway Chat with Blumenthal President/CEO Tom Gabbard.
