Music Theatre Louisville’s season ignites next month in the Bomhard Theater. They are very excited about another relaxed and fun summer season in The Kentucky Center, with great shows, close up seats and all kinds of snacks and ice cream that you can carry right to your seat. There will be a free Music Theatre Louisville season kickoff show on the riverfront in New Albany on Saturday, June 5, and at Iroquois Amphitheater Sunday, June 6, both at 7:30. The season begins with the historical musical 1776, June 25-July 3; continues with the musical comedy Nunsense, July 18-25; and ends with Annie, one of the world’s best-loved musicals, August 6-15. Come see the July 3 special performance of 1776 at 6:30 pm and be right there on the Belvedere for the city’s fireworks show! Good seats are still available. An MTL subscription is a great value – 3 shows for just $75 – including parking!
