Arizona Broadway Theatre's 2024-2025 Season!




MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET (OCTOBER 4 – NOVEMBER 2)
What happens when you put those four iconic musicians in the same room? You get one of the greatest jam sessions ever. Million Dollar Quartet brings Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley together with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal, and celebrations. Relive the era with this 2010 Tony Award nominated musical showcasing hit songs including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Hound Dog,” and many more. Join Arizona Broadway Theatre as we kick off our sensational 20th Season with this electrifying show.


BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (NOVEMBER 15 – DECEMBER 29)
In the grand tradition of The Little Mermaid, The Wizard of Oz and A Christmas Carol, ABT brings this revered fairy tale to life on stage. This “tale as old as time,” reminds us to look beyond one’s exterior and find the beauty from within. Belle finds herself in the middle of a daring and magical adventure, attempting to rescue her beloved father from a terrible beast and offering herself in exchange for his freedom. She soon discovers that she is not the only prisoner held in the beast’s extraordinary castle. All of the fanciful characters, such as a talking tightly wound clock (the butler), adorable teacup (a young boy), kindhearted candelabra (maître d’), are trapped in this spellbound form until the beast, who is actually a young prince, can learn to love and have his love returned.


HELLO DOLLY (JANUARY 17 – FEBRUARY 21)
Considered America’s finest piece of musical theatre, Hello Dolly storms the ABT stage in January 2025. Start your year off right with this classic love story with music including Before the Parade Passes By, Ribbons Down My Back, and the title smash hit, Hello, Dolly!. Combined with extravagant costumes, spectacular sets, and elegant staging, it only takes a moment to fall in love with this epic production. Join ABT as we ring in the new year with this showstopper.


PHANTOM (MARCH 7 – APRIL 10)
“Yeston and Arthur Kopit’s Phantom” is a musical adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s famous novel “The Phantom of the Opera.” The musical follows the plot written by Gaston Leroux and provides a deeper insight into every character, their motivations, and their backstories. We begin by meeting Eric – disfigured from birth yet as beautiful on the inside as he is misshapen on the outside. He was hidden beneath the famous Paris Opera House to live out his years. When an untalented egomaniacal Diva takes over the Opera House the musical environment so dear to his life, on which he subsists, is shattered. When seeking a voice and a singer to restore the beauty, he finds himself falling in love with Christine Daaé. This version of the beloved story of “Phantom” features a score that blends elements or classical and contemporary musical theatre styles while providing a fresh take on one of literature’s most iconic characters.  


TO BE ANNOUNCED (APRIL 25 – JUNE 5)
To be announced on May 1, 2024.


CINDERELLA (JUNE 20 – JULY 26)
Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella puts a new spin on the beloved fairytale that continues to enchant audiences with the timeless themes of kindness, love, and the power of dreams. The story follows Ella, a young woman who lost her father and lives as a servant to her wickedly cruel stepmother and stepsisters. With the help of her Fairy Godmother, she attends the royal ball where she captures the heart of not only the prince, but the audience as well. Rediscover a few beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible” and “Ten Minutes Ago” in this hilarious and romantic experience for anyone of any age who has ever had a dream.

TOOTSIE (AUGUST  8 – SEPTEMBER 13)
Meet Michael Dorsey, a talented but difficult actor who struggles to find work due to his reputation. He finds himself willing to go above and beyond to land a role… even if it means disguising himself as a woman named Dorothy Michaels. To his surprise, he lands the role in a popular soap opera as Dorothy Michaels. Tootsie brings us on Michael’s journey as he navigates through the complications of leading a double life. Join us for this updated laugh-out-loud love letter to Broadway that explores themes of identity and authenticity while retaining the charm and humor of the original film.
