New Broadway Series Coming to Walton Arts Center

Walton Arts Center’s 2020-21 Broadway season will bring six exciting premieres to Arkansas, including the appearance of one fabulous show before it debuts on Broadway.

The P&G Broadway Series is set to begin in September and continue through June 2021, with performances that will take audiences to worlds of pure imagination.

The six Broadway premieres are:

My Fair Lady

This classic tale takes on new meaning in light of the #metoo movement. When linguistics expert Henry Higgins hears the brash, cockney voice of a local flower girl, he makes a bet that he can turn her into a “proper lady.” But, he will soon realize that he has more to learn than she does.

An Officer and a Gentleman

The new musical based on the Oscar®-winning film starring Richard Gere is making a stop in Northwest Arkansas before it debuts on Broadway! This tale of romance and courage follows U.S. Navy bootcamp recruit Zack Mayo as he learns the importance of love and friendship.

Come Far Away

After the tragic events of 9/11, the U.S. airways were closed and planes were grounded. This Arkansas premiere takes audiences to the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small Newfoundland town that welcomed them.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Walton Arts Center is the lucky winner of a golden ticket when this theater musical makes its Arkansas debut! Charlie Bucket’s bland life takes a sweet turn when he gets to experience the wonders of Wonka like never before.

Mean Girls

Straight from Broadway and totally fetch! Cady Heron grew up with lions and tigers on an African savanna, but nothing could prepare her for her next adventure: American high school.

Freestyle Love Supreme

Before Hamilton and In the Heights, Lin-Manuel Miranda was riffing in Freestyle Love Supreme. See the show for the “first” time every time, while the cast takes suggestions from the audience and performs full-length, improvised musical numbers. Each show is unique!

Broadway season subscriptions start as low as $278. Single tickets go on sale in August. Subscribers who renew for the 2021-22 season can guarantee their tickets for the premiere Fayetteville engagement of Hamilton in early 2022.
