The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, Dallas' must-see, must-attend, state-of-the-art entertainment complex, will host the touring company of WICKED from June 30th to July 25th.

I've been waiting years to see Wicked. Numerous times I've just missed the national tour as I moved from city to city and there were some unfortunately timed vacations along the way. For years friends and family have been telling me how much I have to see this show and the Original Cast Recording has played countless times in my car and office. So last night as three winged-monkeys turned a crank to raise the Wicked curtain during the Overture, my excitement could not have been higher. But I never imagined I would leave the theatre feeling…disheartened.

With a common goal - to expand arts access to children of all abilities - The River Performing and Visual Arts Center (The River), on April 1, 2010 merged with Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS), creating a unique, barrier free, arts education model for non-profit musical theatre performing arts organizations.. The merger of the two highly revered 'Houston-grown' non-profit organizations expands TUTS' education division (TUTS Education) into the city's special-needs community through the strong brand and expertise of The River. The merger benefits The River through reduced administrative cost and direct exposure to TUTS professionals and programs.
