All five shows are multiple Tony Award winners, and each will be locally produced with Broadway artists working hand-in-hand with talented Midwesterners, selected in a nation-wide talent search to be held in March of 2009.
Two classic shows (not seen at MTWichita for more than 20 years) have been confirmed for the 2009 season, and they are CAMELOT (last produced in 1988) and KISS ME KATE (not done since 1978). This will mark the professional area locally of the 1999 revised Broadway version of KISS ME KATE.
Two new-to-MTWichita titles have also been confirmed: MISS SAIGON and Mel Brooks’ THE PRODUCERS.
The fifth title will also be a new-to-MTWichita show, hopefully the recent Broadway hit THE DROWSY CHAPERONE. (This title not yet confirmed.)
A sixth show will be produced as an “added attraction,” not part of the five-show subscription series, but seats made first available to subscribers. Its title will be announced after Septermber 22, for contractual reasons.
