McCarter Theatre recently previewed their upcoming season, which includes theater, cabaret, dance, music, jazz, and signature events. I don’t know why it just hit me that McCarter is really Broadway, Off-Broadway, Lincoln Center, the Carlyle and Madison Square Garden all rolled up into one tidy package in the heart of town. That’s pretty amazing in suburbia. Especially because of the high-caliber of the performances.
A nice selection was revealed, but not ALL performances are set yet since some artists don’t know their schedules so far in advance. With that said, here’s the sneak peek into McCarter’s 2012 – 2013 season.
