OKC Broadway has announced their 2024 – 2025 Season.

“I cannot think of a better time to announce our next OKC Broadway Season.   We are nearing the end of a 2023-24 Season Series that has been nothing short of record-breaking thanks in large part to our loyal subscriber family and the incredible continued support of our season sponsor Paycom.  Our dedicated patrons, generous sponsor, and the partnership that is OKC Broadway allow us to, once again, bring Broadway's biggest hits and more to Oklahoma City in the 2024-25 Season.  This season is all about hilarious fun, moving musicals, and Tony Award-winning epic productions. As we've seen, performances do sell out, so we are thrilled to offer season subscribers the best seats at great savings over buying tickets individually.  The 2024-25 Season begins at the Civic Center Music Hall just after Labor Day!” said Elizabeth Gray, General Manager of OKC Broadway and Executive Director of the Civic Center Foundation.  

The season will begin with TWO WEEKS of the 10-time Tony Award-winning Best Musical MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL. Next, audiences will take a rare look at one of the greatest entertainers of all time, Michael Jackson, in MJ The Musical.  And then IT'S SHOWTIME with Broadway smash hit BEETLEJUICE The Musical, followed by a GORGEOUS new production of PETER PAN. The season continues with musical theater at its FINEST—SOME LIKE IT HOT, and ends with the BRILLIANTLY hilariously new musical from the writer of “Schitt's Creek,” & JULIET.   

OKC Broadway is the presenter of the nationally touring Broadway shows and is a partnership between The Nederlander Organization, known for presenting live theatre and concerts world-wide; and the Civic Center Foundation, who in its 20+ year history has donated millions to the Civic Center Music Hall for improvements to heighten the theatre experience for both performers and audiences.
