A STELLAR SEASON<br />
for the THEATER<br />
Stage and behind-the-stage crews at the area’s two<br />
largest performing arts venues – the Broward Center in<br />
Fort Lauderdale and the Kravis in West Palm Beach – are<br />
already hard at work, preparing for the arrival of spectacular<br />
performances coming from the Great White Way to entertain<br />
South Florida audiences during the <strong>2018</strong>-2019 season that<br />
begins in October at the Broward Center, November at Kravis.<br />
While theater enthusiasts are already perusing show rosters<br />
listing the 14 musicals – seven at each location – that will<br />
shortly fill the concert halls with blockbuster tunes, most<br />
everyone is wondering: What’s happening with Hamilton?<br />
Not to worry. The story of America’s founding father Alexander<br />
Hamilton, the immigrant from the West Indies who became<br />
George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary<br />
War, will unfold at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts<br />
Dec. 18-Jan. 20, with its stellar acting troupe and a score that<br />
blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway styles.<br />
And yes, tickets are still available.<br />
As for Kravis, Hamilton won’t arrive until the 2019-2020<br />
season. But those seeking tickets should act now.<br />
Officials say: “The best way to guarantee tickets to Hamilton is<br />
to purchase a season subscription for the <strong>2018</strong>-2019 season.<br />
Subscribers who renew their subscription for the 2019-2020<br />
season will be able to guarantee their tickets for the premiere<br />
West Palm Beach engagement before tickets are available to<br />
