Paramount Theatre and Paramount School of the Arts Announce Cancellation Updates

Paramount Theatre has released the following statement regarding updates to their schedule:

Tom Petty famously sang, "The waiting is the hardest part."

He probably wasn't singing about social distancing during a pandemic. But the phrase does capture what many of us are feeling these days.

To make your waiting a little easier and give you something to look forward to, Paramount Theatre has been busy rescheduling our upcoming shows - making hard choices so that we can get back to delighting you at the earliest possible moment. To our valued patrons, here's what you need to know including new show dates and credits:

MOST RECENT CHANGES

KINKY BOOTS

Unfortunately, we must postpone our production of Kinky Boots until June 30-August 15, 2021. If you purchased a ticket to Kinky Boots, your ticket will be moved to the same performance slot during the summer 2021 run. If you cannot make the new performance date, the usual ticket exchange policy applies allowing you to exchange to another Kinky Boots performance of equal or lesser value for a small fee. Subscribers can exchange or purchase additional Kinky Boots tickets starting August 3, 2020. If you cannot attend any performance, please contact the box office at (630) 896-6666 by June 7, 2020 to receive a credit to your account.

2020-2021 BROADWAY SEASON

The 2020-2021 Broadway Season - Rock of Ages, Cinderella, Groundhog Day and Ragtime - will remain scheduled as planned. The pre-order deadline has been extended to June 7, 2020. When you become a 4-show subscriber, you also get 50% off tickets to Kinky Boots, June 30-August 15, 2021.

BOLD SERIES

We are sad to announce that the inaugural season of the Bold Series has been postponed until the 2021-2022 season. Postponing this highly anticipated new project is weighing heavily on all of us, but necessary under the circumstances.

OTHER UPDATES

THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS

The box office has issued credits to all ticket holders for the canceled performances of The Secret of My Success.
