The season may still be months away, but the Fox Theatre is already getting ready for its spectacular 40th anniversary, announcing this morning that the 2022-2023 U.S. Bank Broadway series will bring seven exciting musicals (and one exceptional play) to the historic stage, including family-friendly favorite Frozen and eight-time Tony Award winner Hadestown.
In addition to the U.S. Bank Broadway Series, The Fox will also host productions of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Les Misérables, and several holiday hits. Seven- and eight-show season ticket packages go on sale June 6 at 10 a.m., and sale dates for individual shows will be announced at a later date. In the meantime, here's a quick rundown of the season's shows:
