Broadway in Bartlesville! makes its 2023-24 season appearance in October
Five traveling New York-based shows will grace The Center’s stage during the 21st season of the Bartlesville on Broadway! national touring series.
The excitement begins on Sunday, Oct, 1 at 7:30 p.m. with "Come From Away," a true story of the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed 7,000 stranded airplane passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Newsweek cheers, “It takes you to a place you never want to leave!” On 9/11, the world stopped. On 9/12, their stories moved us all.
"Jesus Christ Superstar" makes a return to Bartlesville on Sunday, Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m. This Andrew Lloyd Webber musical is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary series of events during the final weeks in the life of Jesus Christ, as seen through the eyes of Judas. Reflecting the rock roots that defined a generation, the legendary score includes, “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” “Gethsemane” and “Superstar.”
Starting off 2024 is "Mean Girls" on Thursday, Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Directed by Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon), "Mean Girls" tells the story of a naïve newbie who falls prey to a trio of lionized frenemies. Based on a book written by actress and comedian Tina Fey, this new musical is “fresh, fun and infectious” (People). USA Today says, “We’ll let you in on a little secret because we’re such good friends: Get your tickets now!”
"Hairspray," Broadway's Tony Award® winning musical comedy phenomenon, comes back to Bartlesville on Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m. It's 1962 Baltimore and 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad is out to dance her way onto TV's most popular show, to change the world and win the hearts of America once again. This mega-hit musical is piled bouffant-high with laughter and romance along with the deliriously tuneful songs you love.
Rounding out the Broadway season is a musical tribute is "The Cher Show," which will come to Bartlesville Tuesday, April 9, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. Superstars come and go. Cher is forever. For six straight decades, only one unstoppable force has flat-out dominated popular culture—breaking down barriers, pushing boundaries, and letting nothing and no one stand in her way. "The Cher Show" is the Tony Award-winning musical of her story, and it’s packed with so much Cher that it takes three women to play her: the kid starting out, the glam pop star and the icon.
