The 2023-2024 Season Subscription Series features the biggest Broadway series yet with six Tony Award®-winning shows and seven Van Wezel Premieres. The subscription series also includes an array of masterworks in the World Music series and a variety of specials sure to delight fans of all ages.

Hamilton (March 26-April 7) is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre.

Bensel adds, “I am also thrilled to be presenting two other full-week runs of Broadway hits, the eight-time Tony Award®-winner, including for Best Musical in 2019, Hadestown, and the Tony Award®-winner for Best Choreography, Ain't Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations.”

Hadestown (January 30 – February 4), the winner of eight Tony Awards® and a Grammy^® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, is a love story for today...and always. Intertwining two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
