W elcome to the Pikes Peak Center. Our 2016-17 Broadway season begins with a special holiday treat, a love
letter to the musical theater created by the folks who brought us SPIRIT OF THE DANCE. It’s jam-packed with holiday songs and scenes that evocate the best of New York this season, including some of Broadway’s biggest hits.
Speaking of Broadway, the new musical theater season got off to a great start with a stage production of the film classic HOLIDAY INN. A revival of FALSETTOS opens this Fall with a stellar cast including Christian Borle, who was featured in the NBC series “Smash” and Andrew Rannells, who starred as Elder Price in the origi-nal Broadway production of THE BOOK OF MORMON. Speaking of stars, Bette Midler plays Dolly Levi in HELLO DOLLY! opening next Spring. Much-anticipated new musicals include AMELIE (based on the popular French film) starring HAMILTON leading lady Phillipa Soo; ANASTASIA from the team that created RAG-TIME; and COME FAR AWAY, a heart-warming tale about the thousands of travelers stranded in a
small town in Newfoundland on 9/11. We hope you enjoy the show. Don’t miss
our presentations of the Tony Award-winning Best Musical ONCE, DIRTY DANCING: The Classic Story On Stage and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR and our special return engagement of STOMP.
