CELEBRITY ATTRACTIONS

Founded by Larry and Kay Payton in 1983, Celebrity Attractions is an independent Broadway presenter bringing nationally touring productions to Tulsa and other regional markets.

Kay remains committed to the family-run business as co-owner with son Drew Payton and CEO Kristin Dotson.

For 40 years, Celebrity Attractions has contributed to both the artistic and economic vitality of Tulsa. “We have had an estimated economic impact of over $25 million in Tulsa since returning from COVID,” Dotson says. “A robust arts scene contributes to the quality of life and attracts businesses and talent to the area.”

Since the industry was brought to a standstill with the pandemic, Celebrity Attractions has taken the opportunity to build its audiences back up and deliver world-class entertainment.

At the heart of the organization resides the relationships built over four decades in Tulsa. “We prioritize relationships — with patrons and subscribers, our corporate partners, the venues and labor forces that work behind the scenes, the media and the companies in New York,” Dotson says. “Cultivating and maintaining strong relationships are the key to our success.”

This year’s season continues this month with the blockbuster “Hamilton,” followed by “Ain’t Too Proud” and “Legally Blonde: The Musical.”
