The blockbuster season, which includes a total of eight productions, begins in September with "Some Like it Hot," a high-kicking song and dance hit which scored four Tony Awards and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.
The audience favorite "Hamilton" will make its third stop at Shea's in October, this time as a special subscriber add-on. Season subscribers will have the option to purchase tickets in June for an additional cost before seats go on sale to the general public.
The new musical "& Juliet," a modern twist on Shakespeare's tragic love story, will light up the stage in November with a score that features popular pop anthems from the likes of Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson.
Disney's "The Lion King" roars back into Buffalo for a two-and-a-half-week run around the Christmas holiday, while "A Beautiful Noise, the Neil Diamond Musical" will arrive in April. "Back to the Future," the new hit musical based on the 80s classic film, will transport audiences back in time when the DeLorean rolls onto the Shea's stage next June.
Season tickets are on sale now at sheas.org.
