Fans of musical theater in the Bangor region will have a lot to look forward to in the coming year with the announcement of a slate of Broadway shows coming to the Cross Insurance Center.
The Cross Center announced on Thursday that six Broadway tours will make stops in Bangor beginning in September, and will include several shows that have never been performed in Maine before.
The Broadway Bangor series begins on Sept. 12, with “Shrek: The Musical,” and is followed just a few weeks later with the Maine premiere of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s hit comedy, the multi-Tony Award-winning “The Book of Mormon,” on Sept. 29.
Later that fall, “Dear Evan Hansen,” the teen drama that won the 2017 Tony for Best Musical, will visit the Cross Center on Nov. 9.
The series will then take a break until the spring, when the venue then hosts “The Addams Family: A Musical Comedy” on March 25, 2025. On April 1, 2025, the Cross Center will feature “Come From Away,” the heartwarming musical about the small Newfoundland town that welcomed passengers diverted there after the Sept. 11 attacks.
The series will close out with the Broadway tour of “Mean Girls,” the musical version of Tina Fey’s beloved comedy, on May 5, 2025. The musical premiered on Broadway in 2018. A movie version of the musical hit cinemas in January of this year.
Subscription packages for the entire series will go on sale from April 19 through May 3, and single-ticket days will be available afterwards. For more information, visit the Cross Insurance Center website.
