Jennifer Turner, president and CEO of TPAC, said this upcoming season is further proof that touring companies are looking at Nashville as a destination in their schedule.

"Not only are we getting a great investment from here in the community, but the Broadway touring industry is starting to notice that Nashville is becoming a very, very hot market," Turner told The Tennessean. "Growth in our subscriber base and the investment that our community is making in TPAC is putting us on the map nationally to get better shows earlier and also special engagements like 'Into the Woods.' We are one of only 10 markets that got this special engagement of a show running on Broadway right now to critical acclaim."

Tickets will be available beginning March 13.
