BROADWAY DALLAS NEWS | JULY 2022
Posted on July 1st, 2022
Dear Friends,
To keep with the spirit of our recent (and ongoing) triple digit temperatures, the Broadway Dallas team has been on fire.
Below you’ll find articles and photos from recent community events we participated in here at Fair Park, like the Dallas Pride Parade and the North Texas Juneteenth Festival.
You’ll read about Germania Family Day at Disney’s Frozen, coming up on July 23 – a fantastic, fun and free (with a ticket to the show) pre-show event taking place in the AIR-CONDITIONED Music Hall lobby.
And in case you missed our recent news, even as we are riding high on our amazing 2022/2023 Broadway season (featuring Moulin Rouge!, SIX and To Kill a Mockingbird, to name just a few), we have already announced that the 2023/2024 season will feature TINA – The Tina Turner Musical, and the return of the international blockbuster, the hottest ticket on earth… Hamilton. The best way to secure your tickets for these blockbusters is to get season tickets NOW.
Broadway Dallas is working hard for you – have a wonderful summer!
See you in the lobby!

Broadway Dallas President and CEO

DONOR SPOTLIGHT
Avid travelers, ski adventurers, and arts enthusiasts, Dr. Anu Ravipati and Dr. Devesh Ramnath joined the Broadway Dallas family when they received season tickets as a holiday gift many years ago. Since then, they have maintained their annual season subscriptions, as well as continually growing their charitable involvement to becoming CenterStage Radiant Star donors this year.
“Our eyes, ears, and hearts were opened that the lesser-known shows were just as phenomenal as the more famous ones,” Anu describes. “Our CenterStage membership allows us meet and greet opportunities, the ability to purchase tickets before the general public, and our kids love the snacks and beverages in the BDO Membership Suite. The friendly personalized customer service can’t be beat! Our donation is also a way to contribute to Broadway Dallas outreach programs. We are both heavily ‘science people’ and strongly believe that it is important to integrate art into STEM fields. All parts of our brain need to be activated and stimulated for us to succeed in any field. Our favorite program is Broadway Dallas’ Give a Kid a Seat. Each year, thousands of students attend a Broadway show for free at the Music Hall after participating in a STEM-based curriculum taught by Dallas teaching artists. Wow! We wish everyone had this opportunity.”
