In his letter to season ticket holders, fondly referred to by the Alhambra as "Season Partners," Managing Partner, Craig Smith, said "We spent 2017 "looking back" with joy at all the memories that have been created here over the past 50 years. We are 'looking forward' with great anticipation to all the Alhambra will be in the future." Smith added, "Our goal is always to provide fresh and exciting Broadway fare, and I think people will love this schedule. It really is a season of spectacular."

Season Partnerships are currently available for as little as $267 per ticket per season. Single show seats are also now on sale starting at just $38. All tickets include a three-course meal that changes with each title, the show and parking. Said Smith, "Our Season Partnerships have increased year after year, and we are selling out our shows. People are understanding that not only do we provide an incredible dining and theatrical experience, but we offer unsurpassed value for the money. No where else can you have dinner, a show and parking for under $50."

Originally opened in 1967, the Alhambra Theatre & Dining is the longest-running professional dinner theater in the United States. In November 2009, the Alhambra was purchased by Theatre Partners, LLC, headed by Jacksonville entrepreneur, Craig Smith as way to give back to Jacksonville and preserve what he believes is one of its cultural jewels. The theater now hosts more than 120,000 people each year, employs more than 70 full-time staff, and donates tens of thousands of dollars and tickets annually to area charities. The Alhambra has hosted legends such as Tony Curtis, Claude Aiken, Sid Cesar and Cesar Romero, and, more recently, Loretta Swit, Barry Williams, Jamie Farr, Michael Learned, Barbara Eden, Mike Farrell and Morgan Fairchild. The Alhambra was the place of Betty Grable's final acting role. The Alhambra is also home to former Miss America, Orange Park, Florida native Leanza Cornett.
