Get ready to travel back in time to an iconic cultural phenomenon with The British Invasion – Live On Stage. This immersive multimedia show places you front and center of pop culture history. Featuring an all-live band with huge projection period photos along with original film footage, the show focuses on British music that dominated the charts and airwaves, and in turn changed the very essence of pop culture. We know these last few years have felt like a Hard Day’s Night, but we hope this night out at the Hall will make you feel alright. The British Invasion – Live On Stage concludes our 2021-2022 BNSF Popular Entertainment Series. We look forward to celebrating 25 years of Bass Performance Hall in the 2022-2023 BNSF Popular Entertainment Series, which will be announced this summer. Our 2021-2022 Broadway at the Bass season continues this summer with a trio of hits: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s OKLAHOMA! in June, followed by Jesus Christ Superstar and Mean Girls in July.

The season kicks off in November with the Lincoln Center Theater Production of Lerner & Loewe’s My Fair Lady, the classic musical sure to have you saying, “I Could Have Danced All Night.” Then in 2023, Pride Rock returns to Bass Hall as Disney’s The Lion King celebrates 20 years on tour; just in time for Valentine’s Day comes the new musical based on one of Hollywood’s most romantic love stories, Pretty Woman: The Musical; one of the most beloved musicals of all time, Annie, returns in a new production in the spring; Broadway’s funniest new musical will have you feeling “Unstoppable” when Tootsie takes the stage; and in June, the 2022-2023 season concludes with Hadestown, winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album.
