Maine State Music Theatre Tickets on Sale 4/26

Tickets for Maine State Music Theatre's 2017 season will go on sale at midnight on April 26, 2017. Season subscribers are at an all-time high - breaking the record for the theatre's 59-year history - limiting availability of single tickets. Buying early is recommended.

The 2017 season starts off on June 7 - June 24, with the fan favorite ALWAYS, PATSY CLINE. The show explores the friendship between a housewife and the legendary country singer - a friendship began that would last until Patsy's untimely death in 1963. This fun-loving, crowd-pleasing musical features 27 classic songs, including "Crazy," "Walkin' After Midnight," "I Fall to Pieces," and "Sweet Dreams."

In the second slot of the season, MSMT will present Frank Loesser's GUYS AND DOLLS June 28 - July 15. Set in a mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy that takes the audience from the heart of Times Square to Cuba and back in search of luck and love.

T-Birds and Pink Ladies will descend upon the Pickard Stage July 19 - August 5 with GREASE. Head "greaser" and new (good) girl try to relive the high school romance of their "Summer Nights" as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through the unforgettable songs from the hit movie including "You're The One That I Want," "Grease is The Word," "Hopelessly Devoted to You," and "Greased Lightnin'."

Finally, 2017 closes out with the New England regional premiere of Broadway's hit sensation Disney's NEWSIES August 9 - 26. Set in New York City at the turn of the century, Newsies is the rousing tale of a ragged band of teenaged "newsies," who dream only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. This all-singing and dancing, high-energy show features a score by eight-time Academy Award® winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman.

In addition, THE HANK BAND performs two shows on Monday July 10, playing songs that capture the timeless music of Hank Williams Sr.

THE WHO'S TOMMY hits the stage for two performances on Monday July 31. Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album, the full staged production includes the songs "Acid Queen," "Pinball Wizard," and "Uncle Ernie."

On Monday, August 14, Journey back in time for the fun, nostalgic romp through the songs of '50s in THE TAFFETAS.
