Following last week's announcement that Wicked will be concluding its smash two-year L.A. engagement in January 2009, Broadway/L.A. today announced the lineup for its 2009 Season, with all productions scheduled to play at its flagship venue, Hollywood's historic Pantages Theatre (6233 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood).
The seven-show Broadway/L.A. Season features the West Coast Premiere of the eagerly-anticipated Broadway musical,
Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage, and the Los Angeles premieres of two of Broadway's most popular current attractions,
Legally Blonde: The Musical and
Grease. A fourth local premiere production will be the first Los Angeles engagement of the Broadway stage extravaganza,
Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas The Musical. Rounding out the season will be the first return of
The Phantom of the Opera to the Pantages in a decade, a new touring production of
Fiddler on the Roof starring Topol (the Oscar-nominated star of the Fiddler film), and the return of
Mamma Mia! Seven-Show Season Packages start at just $214.50 per person.
Broadway/L.A. Season Ticket Holders also get first access to the best seats for two newly-announced Pantages engagements. The national tour of
Rent, featuring
Anthony Rapp and
Adam Pascal from the original Broadway cast and the film, and the Los Angeles premiere of
Rain – The Beatles Experience will each have limited one-week runs. In addition, Broadway/L.A. has arranged for its Season Ticket Holders to get exclusive access to
Wicked now playing at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood.
Season Ticket Holders enjoy a host of benefits not available to the general public, primarily the ability to access the best seats in the house, often at savings of 10% off single ticket prices. They also get a slew of other benefits like lost ticket insurance and any-time-any-reason exchange. Season Ticket Holders have 24/7 account access through a custom website that provides the ability to check performance dates and seating locations, update account information, secure additional priority seats, and make payments online with a few simple clicks.
Later this month, season ticket packages will go on sale to the general public through an exclusive online offer at www.BroadwayLA.org, where visitors may sign up to receive an email giving this priority purchase opportunity. Following an exclusive online-only ordering time frame, season tickets will be available for order by phone toll-free at 866-755-BWAY (2929) or by mail order. To encourage the public to take advantage of our faster and easier online ordering option, those ordering season tickets online will also enjoy savings of up to $21 for each person in their season package.

What's more, if one pays with a qualifying American Express Gold Card Events eligible Card, one will receive not only the 5% rebate described above, but also a bonus of two free Pantages drink vouchers for each season package purchased.*
