Dear Friend:

Everything you want to see is at the Ahmanson for our 2020/21 Season—and it promises to be unlike any other.

As we put together this season, we looked to some of theatre’s most iconic musicals, both old and new, including the latest phenomenon to capture Broadway’s hearts—eight-time Tony Award®-winning Hadestown, as well as the return of the legendary Les Misérables. I’m also happy to welcome back to our stage Tony Award winners Casey Nicholaw and Bob Martin as we showcase their big-hearted new musical, The Prom. If you’ve been following the New York scene, you’ll know that plays are once again—deservedly—the talk of the town. Proudly, two of those powerhouse productions are coming straight to the Ahmanson: Aaron Sorkin’s new play based on Harper Lee’s American classic, To Kill a Mockingbird, and the National Theatre’s The Lehman Trilogy, directed by Academy® and Tony Award winner Sam Mendes.

And, as if all of these remarkable shows weren’t enough, we couldn’t resist bringing back three musicals that had our audiences on their feet after every performance. Our new Encore! Series welcomes the return of Dear Evan Hansen, Ain’t Too Proud—The Life & Times of The Temptations, and Come From Away, of which you’ll get to select one as part of your subscription. Plus, we have one more show that will be announced later this spring.
