Broadway in Orlando returns this year at Dr. Phillips Center
The 2021-2022 Fairwinds Broadway in Orlando season at Dr. Phillips Center brings the best of Broadway back to the Walt Disney Theater in Orlando, Fla. with a series of eight hit shows, plus options for subscribers to purchase tickets for “Wicked” and “Hamilton” in the 2022-2023 season.
Because Broadway tours have been closed for more than a year — and due to COVID-19’s continued impact on the Broadway industry — there are both schedule changes and new additions for the 21/22 season:
- “Hadestown” – Rescheduled to Dec. 13-18, 2022. It will remain a part of subscribers’ current season, and tickets have been automatically moved to the corresponding performance.
- “Wicked” – Rescheduled for Jan. 25 – Feb. 12, 2023 and will be a season option on the 22/23 season. Subscriber tickets have been automatically moved to the corresponding performance.
- “Beautiful–The Carole King Musical” – Added to the lineup as an option for the current 21/22 season.
- “Hamilton” – Returns in the 22/23 season. Current subscribers will have first access to secure seats for the return of “Hamilton” when renewing their subscription for the 22/23 season.
The following are the upcoming shows for the 2021/2022 Broadway in Orlando series:
