鈥淭his is the most exciting season I鈥檝e always wanted to present,鈥 said Broadway In 蜜柚直播 General Manager Mario Di Vetta. 鈥淲e wanted to bring a season of premieres so that鈥檚 kind of where we started with the season.

Exit stage left
When Broadway In 蜜柚直播 mounted its first season in 2004, UA Presents, the predecessor of University of 蜜柚直播 arts presenter , was making its exit from the Broadway genre.
UA Presents, which had been bringing Broadway shows to Centennial Hall on the UA campus throughout the 1990s, was smarting from a $250,000 loss on the musical 鈥淗airspray鈥 in the 2004-05 season. It also had settled a lawsuit with the producers of the Broadway show 鈥淟ittle Shop of Horrors鈥 after canceling its eight-performance run in January 2006; they had sold just 3,700 of the 20,000 available tickets.
Broadway In 蜜柚直播 didn鈥檛 appear to be having any problems selling tickets in its first couple of years. When it brought Disney鈥檚 鈥淭he Lion King鈥 to 蜜柚直播 Music Hall in August 2006, some 82,000 people over the six-week run packed the 2,200-seat downtown venue that it shared with 蜜柚直播 Opera and 蜜柚直播 Symphony Orchestra.
鈥淟ion King鈥 was a bold move coming in year two, but it showed that 蜜柚直播 had an appetite for Broadway.
In 2010, Broadway In 蜜柚直播 went even bigger, collaborating with UA Presents to bring the blockbuster 鈥淲颈肠办别诲鈥 for a sold-out three-week run at Centennial Hall. Some 56,000 people saw that show, which Broadway in 蜜柚直播 brought back in 2013 to mark its 10th anniversary.
2013 also was the season that saw the organization uproot from the Music Hall to the 2,500-seat Centennial, where it has been ever since.
20 years by the numbers
In its first 20 years, Broadway In 蜜柚直播 mounted 1,033 performances of 156 events including 鈥淏ook of Mormon,鈥 which has been here five times since its 2016 蜜柚直播 debut, and 鈥淢amma Mia,鈥 which marks its fourth time this year, contributing to the 1.7 million total patrons, including 19,000 for the initial run of 鈥淏ook of Mormon鈥 that set a single week engagement record and 44,000 who turned out in late 2021 for the three-week run of 鈥淗amilton.鈥
Drumroll: 20th
anniversary season
Don鈥檛 ask Mario Di Vetta which of the shows on the 2025-26 season he鈥檚 most looking forward to.
鈥淚t鈥檚 like having to choose your favorite child, which I鈥檓 willing to do,鈥 joked the father of two who has seen all seven shows on Broadway. 鈥溾& Juliet鈥 was such a great show because it鈥檚 such a great musical with all these pop hits you already know. And 鈥楬ell鈥檚 Kitchen,鈥 how they managed to incorporate all of Alicia Keys鈥 songs into a modern hip-hop musical with a great story. The musical just feels very fresh.鈥
Both shows are still playing to full houses on Broadway as they launch inaugural national tours, 鈥& Juliet鈥 last September and 鈥淗ell鈥檚 Kitchen鈥 this fall.
鈥淵ou don鈥檛 have to go to New York鈥 to experience Broadway, Di Vetta said. 鈥淛ust go to your backyard; we鈥檙e right here.鈥
