CHARLOTTE — Broadway fans will see the return of beloved favorites along with some of the newest shows to hit the road during Blumenthal Performing Arts’ 2023–2024 season.

Blumenthal revealed the lineup on Tuesday, which includes “Moulin Rouge! The Musical,” “Company” and “Back to the Future.”

“In Charlotte, audiences are coming back in droves and there is high demand for top quality entertainment,” Blumenthal President and CEO Tom Gabbard said in a news release.

Charlotte is one of the first three cities in North America to welcome the 2022 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical “Back to the Future,” which opens on Broadway in August.

The Queen City is also the only place in the Carolinas and surrounding areas this season where you can catch Steven Sondheim’s “Company,” the pre-Broadway tour of “The Wiz,” plus “Clue,” “Cookin’” and “Message in a Bottle.”

“As a top 10 market, we are thrilled to present the largest Broadway season in the region, including several first national tours that won’t be seen anywhere else in the area for some time. Fans from across the Carolinas and Tennessee will have the opportunity to travel to Charlotte for the chance to see these exclusive Broadway shows, further establishing Charlotte as a cultural destination in the region,” Gabbard added.

An additional show will be announced at a later date.

The full lineup is listed below.

Season tickets and season ticket renewals are on sale now. Tickets for individual shows will go on sale to the public closer to the performance dates.
