Music Theatre Louisville: Broadway Standards Come to Life

Music Theatre Louisville has been providing quality and affordable entertainment for decades. A typical season from the non-profit Music Theatre Louisville boasts four beloved Broadway hits, such as Brigadoon, 42nd Street, The Fantasticks, Cats, Hairspray, Jesus Christ Superstar, Oliver! and Disney's Beauty and the Beast — all of them staged in recent seasons. 

As with community theaters everywhere, the casts for Music Theatre Louisville's performances are talented amateurs from the public.

Like its sister theater company, Stage One, Musical Theatre Louisville productions are now at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Louisville.

You can buy tickets to public performances online, by calling (502) 584-7777 or by visiting the Kentucky Center's box office in person Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., or Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Or call (502) 498-2436 to buy a season subscription.

Pricing for single tickets is adults, $25; students aged 11 through college (with a college ID), $20; seniors 60 and older, also $20; and children 10 and younger, $10. So-called "rush tickets" —sold two hours prior to curtain — are $10. Tickets are $18 each for groups of 15 or more.

The Kentucky Center offers wheelchair access on every seating and parking level. With three weeks' notice, sign interpretation is available for patrons who are deaf or hard of hearing. 

HelloLouisville Tip: In partnership with Stage One, Music Theatre Louisville also offers drama camps.
