Le Petit Théâtre du Vieux Carré has revealed its 108th season, starting in October. Music - specifically pianos - plays a prominent role in the 2024-2025 season, with two full musicals, two plays with music, and one award-winning American drama. Full-season subscription packages are on sale now, with flexible partial packages and single-show tickets on sale later this year.
"We are excited to bring you three musicals this season," said Producing Executive Director, Don-Scott Cooper. In addition to our subscription season, we are planning several additional events including Tony nominee Betsy Wolfe in concert, and a return of The Skivvies for the holidays.
"Music and passion sit at the heart of our 108th season. These are two stalwart values within our New Orleans community, and we wanted to select a season that would entertain our audiences while engaging them at this core level of our shared humanity," proclaims Artistic Director, A.J. Allegra. "Each of these theatrical works will delight, surprise, and move our community. Our continued goal is for Le Petit to remind audiences why we attend and love the theatre. We want folks to leave our doors feeling enriched, entertained, and more full of life."
