Broadway in San Antonio has revealed its upcoming season, including a Hamilton tease.
The 2017-2018 season will feature On Your Feet!, The Color Purple, An American in Paris, The Bodyguard, The King and I, Irving Berlin's White Christmas, The Book of Mormon, and Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella. But the real coup is that the blockbuster musical Hamilton is slated to play the Majestic Theatre the season after.
Hamilton will be part of the 2018-2019 Broadway in San Antonio season. Dates have not been revealed, but "renewing subscribers will be able to guarantee their tickets for its premiere engagement in San Antonio," says Emily Smith, general manager of the Majestic and Charline McCombs Empire Theatres in a release.
The musical will also hit Houston in spring 2018 and Dallas (dates to be announced).
"San Antonio audiences continue to be incredibly generous and supportive of Broadway in San Antonio and it gives us great pride and delight to bring our audiences another amazing season with shows ranging from award-winning musicals to innovative and thought provoking productions," says Smith.
