BE IN THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS The Peace Center’s 2018-2019 Broadway Season is a celebration of everything we love about the Great White Way. Music. Comedy. Drama. Extraordinary performances that raise the bar of excellence. We are thrilled to be able to bring Hamilton to Peace Concert Hall, and have taken great care to ensure that this season is both engaging and amazing. These nine shows have been honored with a total of 32 Tony Awards, including three for Best Musical and one for Best Musical Revival. This season is filled with timeless stories that celebrate the human spirit. They are stories of courage, endurance, and the resilient bonds that connect one another in times of uncertainty. These are incredibly entertaining shows. This is an unforgettable season. And you’re invited to experience every magical moment in the room where it happens.

Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, PHOTO BY JEREMY DANIEL
a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s “tons of fun for all ages” (HuffPost) and “comic gold” (Variety) – sure to bring down the house!

BROADWAY’S HIT CROWD-PLEASER takes you to the stoops of the Bronx in the 1960s – where a young man is caught between the father he loves and the mob boss he’d love to be. Bursting with high-energy dance numbers and original doo-wop tunes from Alan Menken, the songwriter of Beauty and the Beast, A Bronx Tale is an unforgettable story of loyalty and family. Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro and Tony ® winner Jerry Zaks direct this streetwise musical – based on Academy Award nominee Chazz Palminteri’s story – that The New York Times hails as “A Critics’ Pick! The kind of tale that makes you laugh and cry.”

WINNER OF SIX 2017 TONY AWARDS ® INCLUDING BEST MUSICAL AND THE 2018 GRAMMY® AWARD FOR BEST MUSICAL THEATER ALBUM A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have.

Rolling Stone calls Dear Evan Hansen, “a game-changer that hits you like a shot in the heart” and NBC News calls the musical “an inspiring anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond.” Dear Evan Hansen features a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson, a score by Grammy, Tony and Academy Award® winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman), and direction by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal).
