To Our Valued Guests,
From the dynamic energy of Beetlejuice to the iconic hip-hop rhythms of Hamilton, we’re incredibly proud of the diverse and captivating performances that brought the magic of Broadway to our stage. Thank you for being a part of this incredible season.
As we say goodbye to Pretty Woman: The Musical, we are excited to usher in a new chapter for Hershey Theatre and the start of our historic renovation project.

Rest assured, we are working diligently to streamline and expedite all essential work to welcome you back as soon as possible. We are hopeful to reopen later this year or early next year, and we are planning a spectacular Broadway season for Spring 2026, which will be announced in the coming months.
