Announcing The 2018-19 Broadway On Tour Season At The Community Center Theater

Broadway Sacramento announced the 2018 - 19 Broadway On Tour season at the Community Center Theater, sponsored by Wells Fargo, featuring four shows not previously presented in the series and three that are favorites of Broadway Sacramento audiences. The season features Sacramento premieres of On Your Feet!, Waitress, Aladdin, and The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical. Returning shows are a newly-updated Stomp, which was presented twice before by Broadway On Tour; the new Lincoln Center Theater production of Falsettos, which was presented once before; and the brand new revival of Cats, which has previously been presented twice each by Broadway On Tour and Broadway At Music Circus.

Three of the shows in the 2018 - 19 season run for more than one week: Waitress (14 performances), Stomp (12 performances) and Disney's Aladdin (24 performances). The Lightning Thief, which is a special limited engagement and not part of a season subscription, runs for four performances; tickets to the show are currently available only to season subscribers, with a general public on-sale date TBD.

Season subscriptions provide significant savings-up to $120 off the price of a pair of single-show tickets-and guarantee tickets to every show in the season. Six-show subscriptions (including Stomp) range from $144 to $453, depending on performance day/time and seating location. Five-show subscriptions (without Stomp) range from $126 to $386, depending on performance day/time and seating location. Single-show tickets range from $21 to $165 and will go on sale at a later date.

Season tickets are on sale now, and current season subscribers have until June 1 to renew their season tickets and keep their current seat locations. Season tickets are available only at the Wells Fargo Pavilion Box Office, 1419 H Street, Sacramento, or by calling (916) 557-1999.
