These wildly successful Broadway shows are household names. And luckily for Charlotteans, you don’t have to jet off to New York to see them for yourself. Blumenthal Performing Art’s Encore Series, running from December 2017-September 2018, is bringing all the Broadway shows you want to see to the Queen City.
The Encore Series will start up in December and run until September 2018, but if you want the best seats for the best price, get your tickets now. The series tickets get you guaranteed seats at every show. They’re also flexible so you can exchange, swap and add to your tickets after you purchase them.
