In early 2025, travelling musical productions will be coming to our home city. Here are a few everyone is sure to enjoy.
Mamma Mia, one of the most successful musicals of all time, and the inspiration for award-winning films will be venturing into Jacksonville on its Broadway tour.

Peter Pan, a musical about a boy who never grew up and his adventures in Neverland. Based upon the original Peter Pan play, this performance will feature exciting battles and original songs that will capture all audiences.

Les Misérables, one of the most popular musicals in history, is having its second revival since its discontinuation in 2003. Since then, “Les Mis” has been adapted into a film. This award-winning show tells an admirable story about a French rebellion and human spirit.
