TONY-WINNING 5-SHOW SEASON WITH 6 TH SHOW OPTION! DEAR MUSIC CIRCUS SUBSCRIBER: This will be our 65th Music Circus season, the 13th in the Wells Fargo Pavilion. Since my father Russell and his partner Howard Young started Music Circus in 1951, we’ve had the privilege of working with some amazingly talented and respected individuals. Over the years Music Circus has developed an outstanding reputation throughout the theatre world that has attracted some of the top veteran Broadway actors and creative professionals in the industry to come to Sacramento and create on-stage magic for you. And moving from a tent into a state-of-the-art facility in 2003 has enabled us to continually enhance the quality of our productions. To best serve our patrons, we continue to evolve. In response to your feedback, last year we added a Sunday matinee and moved all evening performances to an earlier 7:30 PM start time. This year we’re offering a sixth production, the Vietnam era rock musical Hair, and we’re giving our subscribers the choice of whether or not they want to include the show in their season. The 2015 season features all Tony Award®-winning musicals, including four that have never been at the Wells Fargo Pavilion: The magical journey Peter Pan, the Mississippi adventure Big River, the musical comedy Bye Bye Birdie and the generation-defining Hair. Plus two multiple Tony-winning classics: West Side Story and My Fair Lady, both all-time favorites of Music Circus audiences. You’ll be able to experience top-notch productions of these great shows, created right here in Sacramento, for one week only, in the intimate Wells Fargo Pavilion. As a subscriber you’re already enjoying the benefits of season tickets, including a savings of up to $110 over the price of single-show tickets. I hope you’ll renew your season subscription today. Thank you for your continued support of Music Circus. As a nonprofit organization, it’s only with the help of donors and season subscribers like you that we can create the exceptional Music Circus productions you enjoy each summer and offer enriching arts education programs throughout the year. Looking forward to seeing you this summer!
Sincerely, Richard Lewis, California Musical Theatre President & CEO
