Palace Theater Announces Tenth Anniversary Broadway Series

Waterbury – The Palace Theater has big “news” for theatergoers this month, as the performing arts center announces the five, national tours headed to Waterbury as part of the venue’s Tenth Anniversary Season Broadway Series.

The series kicks off in October (23-25) with four performances of the Tony Award-winning, Disney musical Newsies, a dance-filled production following a group of unlikely heroes during the newsboy strike of 1899. The Palace is honored to be one of the first stops on this production’s first-ever national tour, in addition to being its only exclusive Connecticut engagement.

The series continues in December (6-7), with the thrilling tale of Jekyll & Hyde, a haunting production that characterizes the struggle between good and evil, followed by Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story in January (23-24), a production that chronicles the meteoric rise and tragic end of one of America’s first Rock & Roll icons. The series picks back up in March (6-7) with the no- NUNsense musical comedy Sister Act, and concludes in May (30-31) with I Love Lucy Live On Stage, a hilarious, insightful, and critically-acclaimed stage show that allows patrons to experience what it was like to be an audience member during the filming of two iconic I Love Lucy episodes.
