At 10am on Tuesday, February 20, Tennessee Performing Arts Center announced their upcoming 2024/2025 Broadway at TPAC season. Included in the announcement are six Music City premieres and two returning favorites.
Just a couple weeks ago, when TPAC began teasing their 24/25 Season Announcement as 1 Spectacular Season, they did so by revealing one of the six premiere productions headed to Music City as Moulin Rouge! What’s more, it will be in Nashville for a special two-week engagement October 8-20, 2024.
Back in December, another of the six coming premieres was announced early when it was revealed that the National Tour of Shucked would be coming to TPAC’s Jackson Hall November 5-10 of 2024. Not only is Shucked coming to TPAC, it’s also kicking off the National Tour with the Nashville dates, which makes perfect sense considering Music City is home to both Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, the show’s composers.
With the official announcement hitting their socials first thing Tuesday morning, the rest of the season was unveiled. Below are details about each show taken directly from TPAC’s Season Announcement:
