‘Newsies,’ ‘Kinky Boots,’ ‘Phantom’ Highlight Charlotte’s 2014-15 Broadway Season
The Blumenthal Performing Arts Center has announced the 2014-2015 Broadway Lights Season line-up. Musicals such as Newsies, Kinky Boots, and Phantom of the Opera are included among the shows that are a part of this grand affair in Charlotte.
This year Blumenthal is putting tickets on sale earlier than before so that buyers can avoid a sales tax that goes into effect this year on entertainment tickets. Its First On Board ticket sale runs through January 31 and offers buyers several incentives including: the right to swap two shows for anything on the 2014-15 schedule, free parking for all seven shows at Belk Theater, and a $50 restaurant voucher.
Season tickets range in price from $192 to $764 for the seven-show package. Those wanting to add A Night With Janis Joplin (the only show at Knight Theatre) can expect package prices ranging from $218 to $869.50. An installment plan is available to those interested.
The show line-up is as follows:
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella – November 4-9, 2014 at Belk Theater
A Night with Janis Joplin – December 2-7, 2014 at Knight Theater
