I received tickets to the season announcement event in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.
This year ASU Gammage is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary. This iconic Frank Lloyd Wright designed building has been at the heart of artistic entertainment in Arizona since 1964. In honor of this huge anniversary year, ASU Gammage has announced an incredible line up of shows. If you live here in Arizona, this is a season that should not be missed!

Motown The Musical April 21-26th, 2015
After seeing several performances from this show, I can’t wait to see more, this show should not be missed! Motown The Musical tells the true story of Motown founder Berry Gordy’s journey from boxer to the music mogul who launched the careers of Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson and many more.
Phantom Of The Opera May 27th-June 7th, 2015
A show that truly needs no introduction, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom Of The Opera is here after a sold out tour of the United Kingdom. Critics rave that Cameron Mackintosh’s spectacular new production is “bigger and better than ever before.” I have already seen Phantom before and it is a treasured memory of mine. this show truly made me fall in love with the stage. I can’t wait to see it again!
Wicked August 26th-October 4th, 2015
Sending the season out with a bang, we are lucky enoug to have Wicked back in the Valley of the Sun. Telling the “true story” of what really happened in Oz before the girl from Kansas arrives, this musical is a must see. With an amazing cast and incredible score, there is a reason it sells out across the country over and over again.
What an amazing line up! If you are here in Arizona, I hope you will take the chance to celebrate ASU Gammage‘s 50th year by experiencing a night at the theater at one of these shows! I know I will be! You can find more information about shows and tickets from their website.
