We will also be welcoming back Grammy Award-winning pianist, Jim Brickman, this December. The Atlanta Pops Orchestra will be back for an all-new show, An Irish Heart, featuring Chloe Agnew, formerly of Celtic Women. After our first successful Broadway series, we have partnered again with NobleBank & Trust to bring you even bigger shows in the 2016 - 2017 season. The series begins with The Broadway Boys featuring the stars of musicals such as Wicked, Les Miserables, and more! The quintessential backstage musical comedy classic, 42nd Street, will dance onto our stage in February 2017. In March, the Alabama Ballet will present Giselle, a beautiful piece of dance theatre. Winning eight 2012 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Once The Musical is a truly different and unique Broadway experience. The final show in the series will be the international Broadway sensation, Mamma Mia! The Musical. Considered a blockbuster hit on Broadway, Mamma Mia! will be staying overnight in Oxford for two performances! Based on the tremendous support for the arts in Oxford, we are partnering with Webb Concrete & Building Materials to present our first-ever Country Music series in 2016 - 2017. The all-new Webb Country Music Series will feature Scotty McCreery, Josh Turner, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Lonestar! On behalf of our legions of dedicated volunteers, the staff here at OPAC, and the City of Oxford, I thank you for your continued support of our presentations and programs.
