2024 Spring Season
Dear Patrons, Places, everyone! Our 2024 Broadway season will soon begin! Thanks to our loyal patrons and generous sponsors, Broadway is returning to the ETSU Martin Center for the Arts for its second season. And this year, in addition to our season of four Broadway shows, we will be offering two add-on shows.
Letter from Jen Clements
One of ETSU’s greatest success stories from 2023 will be the kick-off of our Broadway season. We brought you four amazing shows – “Annie,” “Cats,” “Riverdance25th Anniversary Show,” and Chicago” – and all were performed to sold-out crowds here at the Martin Center. It was an epic inaugural season, and we look forward to the curtain rising on this season’s line-up. Claim your seat now by purchasing your 2024 Spring Broadway Season Ticket.
Get ready! A magical season at the ETSU Martin Center is just ahead. We look forward to seeing you here.
Jennifer Nuss Clements Executive Director of ETSU Martin Center for the Arts

JAGGED LITTLE PILL January 10, 2024 | TWO SHOWS SOME SHOWS YOU SEE. THIS SHOW YOU FEEL. Joy, love, heartache, strength, wisdom, catharsis, LIFE—everything we’ve been waiting to see in a Broadway show— is here in the exhilarating, fearless new musical based on Alanis Morissette’s world-changing music.
JAGGED LITTLE PILL is recommended for ages 14 and up. Please note: This production contains strong language, adult themes, drug use, and moments of sexual violence that some may find upsetting. Photo by Matthew Murphy, Evan Zimmerman for MurphyMade
Directed by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus (Waitress, Pippin, 1776) with a Tony-winning book by Diablo Cody (Juno) and Grammy-winning score, this electrifying production about a perfectly imperfect American family “vaults the audience to its collective feet” (The Guardian). “Redemptive, rousing and real, JAGGED LITTLE PILL stands alongside the original musicals that have sustained the best hopes of Broadway.“ (The New York Times). You live, you learn, you remember what it’s like to feel truly human…at JAGGED LITTLE PILL.
THE LINCOLN CENTER THEATER PRODUCTION
MY FAIR LADY February 12 - 13, 2024

From Lincoln Center Theater and director Bartlett Sher comes “a sumptuous new production of the most perfect musical of all time” (Entertainment Weekly), Lerner & Loewe’s MY FAIR LADY. Boasting such classic songs as “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “The Rain in Spain,” and “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly,” MY FAIR LADY tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady.” But who is really being transformed?

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR March 18 - 20, 2024 Celebrating its 50th Anniversary, a new mesmerizing production of the iconic musical phenomenon returns to the stage. Originally staged by London’s Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre and helmed by the acclaimed director Timothy Sheader (Crazy for You, Into the Woods) and cutting-edge choreographer Drew McOnie (King Kong, Strictly Ballroom), this production won the 2017 Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival garnering unprecedented reviews and accolades. Appealing to both theater audiences and concert music fans, this production pays tribute to the historic 1971 Billboard Album of the Year while creating a modern, theatrical world that is uniquely fresh and inspiring. With lyrics and music by Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winners Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jesus Christ Superstar 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".

SHREK THE MUSICAL
April 4 - 5, 2024
Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Yes, your favorite ogre is back in the hilarious stage spectacle based on the Oscar®-winning, smash hit, DreamWorks animated film. This Tony Award®-winning fairy tale musical adventure features songs from Jeanine Tesori (Kimberly Akimbo; Caroline, or Change), a sidesplitting book by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Kimberly Akimbo) and brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life. USA Today raves, "Altogether irresistible!" You’ll be a “believer” too as there’s more to the story than meets the ears.

MEAN GIRLS April 29 - May 1, 2024 Direct from Broadway, MEAN GIRLS is the hilarious hit musical from book writer TINA FEY (“30 Rock”), composer JEFF RICHMOND (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), lyricist NELL BENJAMIN (Legally Blonde) and original director and choreographer CASEY NICHOLAW (The Book of Mormon). The story of a naïve newbie who falls prey to a trio of lionized frenemies, MEAN GIRLS “delivers with immense energy, a wicked sense of humor and joyful inside-jokery.” USA Today says, “We’ll let you in on a little secret, because we’re such good friends: GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!”
