Broadway Sacramento Presents: White Christmas

Broadway Sacramento is bringing a beloved holiday classic to life with its sparkling production of White Christmas, the musical that wraps nostalgic charm, irresistible music, and heartfelt storytelling into one dazzling package. Inspired by the 1954 film, this stage version celebrates everything people adore about holiday theatre: big ensemble numbers, timeless songs, and a story that warms even the frostiest December day.

A holiday musical filled with joy

White Christmas follows two song-and-dance partners who team up with a sister act for a winter adventure that turns into something much bigger than they expected. Romance blooms, friendships deepen, and a Vermont inn in need becomes the setting for a story full of generosity and cheer. The musical features the legendary music of Irving Berlin, including “Sisters,” “Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep,” and the iconic title number that has become a permanent part of the American holiday soundtrack.

Broadway-quality magic in Sacramento

Broadway Sacramento is known for bringing professional productions to the capital region, and White Christmas is no exception. Expect beautiful choreography, crisp harmonies, elegant vintage costumes, and sets that capture the story’s midcentury charm. It’s the kind of show where the tap numbers sparkle, the ballads soar, and the finale brings the entire audience together in a festive glow.

A perfect way to celebrate the season

Whether you grew up watching the movie or are discovering the story for the first time, White Christmas is pure holiday delight. It’s a cozy, heartwarming musical that pairs perfectly with hot cocoa, twinkling lights, and winter nights spent with family and friends. Broadway Sacramento’s production offers a joyful reminder of community, kindness, and the simple pleasure of sharing a beautiful show with the people you love.

Million Dollar Quartet

A Rock ‘n’ Roll Reunion for the Ages – Million Dollar Quartet Hits the Music Circus Stage

Step back in time to the night rock ‘n’ roll history was made.

From May 30 through June 5, 2025, Broadway At Music Circus welcomes Million Dollar Quartet—the electrifying jukebox musical that captures one unforgettable evening in Memphis when four musical legends shared a mic, a piano, and pure magic. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins came together for the first and only time at Sun Records on December 4, 1956. The result? A jam session so iconic, it earned a name that still resonates today.

This stage sensation takes audiences inside that impromptu studio gathering—complete with legendary hits like “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and “I Walk the Line.” More than a concert, Million Dollar Quartet is a behind-the-scenes look at the personalities, rivalries, and raw energy that made these young men into icons.
Presented in the intimate, in-the-round setting of Music Circus, this production brings you closer than ever to the crackling spontaneity that defined rock’s golden age. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the fab four or discovering their music for the first time, this show promises to bring down the house.

Based on the hit 1984 film that had everyone hitting the dance floor, Footloose tells the story of Ren McCormack, a city teen who moves to a small town where dancing is outlawed. With powerhouse songs like “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” “I’m Free (Heaven Helps the Man),” and, of course, “Footloose,” this musical is a celebration of youth, rebellion, and the joy of cutting loose.

Broadway Sacramento Expands Year-Round Theatre Programming
In an exciting development, Broadway Sacramento has reached an agreement with the Sacramento Theatre Company (STC) to expand its programming beyond its traditional summer season. This means more shows, more opportunities to enjoy professional musical theatre, and more reasons to celebrate the performing arts in Sacramento.

For nearly 75 years, Broadway Sacramento and STC have shared a campus at 15th and H Streets. While STC has brought wonderful productions to the city for decades, rising costs have made it difficult for them to continue. As a result, Broadway Sacramento will now be the sole operator of the theatre complex, ensuring that live, professional theatre continues to thrive in the community.
“This is a bittersweet moment,” said STC Board President Betsy Wood. “We are proud of our legacy, and while we are sad to make this transition, we fully support Broadway Sacramento’s expansion.”

Broadway Sacramento Board Chair Dr. Jacqueline M. Calkin echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the company’s commitment to maintaining year-round theatre programming. “We take this responsibility seriously and look forward to continuing to bring world-class productions to Sacramento audiences.”

Broadway At Music Circus is a truly unique musical theatre experience, renowned by theatre professionals and fans across the country.

A Bright Future for Sacramento Theatre

As Broadway Sacramento President/CEO Scott Klier puts it, “Our goal is to make Sacramento a true theatre destination—one that continues to grow and thrive.”

So, get ready to dance, sing, and celebrate! With Footloose leading the charge, 2025 is shaping up to be a spectacular year for theatre in Sacramento. Grab your tickets, put on your dancing shoes, and join the excitement!

Dive Into Glamour and Romance at Moulin Rouge! The Musical in Sacramento

This February, Sacramento audiences will get swept up in a whirlwind of spectacle, music, and passion as Moulin Rouge! The Musical comes to the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center for a limited engagement from February 3–7, 2026. Presented as part of Broadway Sacramento’s touring season, this dazzling production brings the glittering heart of Paris’s most legendary cabaret to life onstage right here in the Capital City. 

A Theatrical Celebration of Love, Truth, and Beauty

Based on Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 hit film, Moulin Rouge! The Musical masterfully blends classic storytelling with contemporary flair. It’s a jukebox musical that weaves beloved pop songs — from Lady Gaga and Sia to iconic Broadway hits — into an electrifying theatrical experience. 

Directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers with a book by John Logan, the show follows the romantic and tragic journey of Christian, a young writer who falls deeply in love with Satine, the sparkling star of the Moulin Rouge cabaret. Their forbidden romance unfolds amid the glitz, glamour, and bohemian thrills of turn-of-the-century Paris, where the club becomes a playground of dreams, heartbreak, and exhilarating spectacle. 

Moulin Rouge! The Musical made its world debut in 2018 and quickly became a Broadway sensation, winning 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical and captivating audiences with its bold reimagining of the beloved film. 

What to Expect in Sacramento

When you step into the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center for Moulin Rouge!, get ready for:
• Eye-popping costumes and lavish sets that bring the Belle Époque era to vivid life. 
• A heart-pounding musical mash-up combining pop hits with theatrical flair, pulling you into the cabaret’s electric world.

Whether you’re planning a date night, a girls’ night out, or a memorable theatrical outing with friends or family (recommended for ages about 12 and up due to mature themes), Moulin Rouge! delivers a feast for the senses. 

A Night You Won’t Forget

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is more than a stage show — it’s an experience that celebrates the joy of performance, the thrill of love, and the power of storytelling through song and dance. With its mix of romance, spectacle, and pop culture thrills, this Broadway hit brings Paris — and its unforgettable spirit — straight to Sacramento. 

& Juliet

& Julie

Sacramento, your autumn soundtrack just got sparkly. & Juliet lands at the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center for a multi-week run September 24 – October 5, 2025, with evening and matinee performances most days. If you like your Shakespeare remixed with pop bangers and confetti cannons, this one’s your jam.

What it is: A fizzing, funny “what-if” sequel that asks what happens if Juliet doesn’t end it all for Romeo—then rewrites her story to the beat of Max Martin’s greatest hits. The creative team includes David West Read (Schitt’s Creek), with a playlist that samples “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “I Want It That Way,” “Confident,” and more. Runtime is around 2 hours 30 minutes with one intermission.

Plan like a pro: This production uses strobe/flashing lights, loud effects, confetti cannons, and pyrotechnics (great energy, but worth noting for sensory-sensitive guests). The show includes some adult language. Factor that into your family night plans.

Tickets: Grab seats via Broadway Sacramento and official ticketing partners (Ticketmaster lists the run at SAFE CU PAC). If you’re flexible, midweek evenings often have excellent availability.

Bottom line: & Juliet is pure pop joy with heart—and a perfect downtown night out between Farm-to-Fork eats and post-show selfies under the L Street lights. See you there.

Jeeves & Wooster

Jeeves & Wooster Bring Perfect Nonsense to B Street Theatre!

Get ready for an evening of wit, whimsy, and utter mayhem as Jeeves & Wooster in Perfect Nonsense takes the stage at B Street Theatre! This award-winning comedy, fresh from London’s West End, is a must-see for fans of classic British humor, quick-witted banter, and the delightful absurdity of P.G. Wodehouse’s world.

What’s All the Nonsense About?

At the heart of the hilarity is Bertie Wooster, the lovable but hapless aristocrat who, at the insistence of his friends, attempts to recount his latest misadventure in a one-man show. As you might expect, things don’t go quite to plan. Enter Jeeves, Bertie’s ever-resourceful valet, who steps in to save the day by managing the set, playing multiple characters, and ensuring his employer doesn’t make a complete fool of himself (well, not more than usual).

The result? A brilliantly chaotic blend of Monty Python zaniness and Downton Abbey elegance, packed with mistaken identities, clever wordplay, and a whirlwind of theatrical antics that will leave you in stitches.

Why You Can’t Miss It

• It’s an Award-Winning Riot: Winner of Best New Comedy in London’s West End, this show has been lauded for its clever writing and laugh-out-loud performances.
• Classic British Charm: If you adore the dry wit of Wodehouse, this is your chance to see it brought to life in the most delightfully ridiculous way possible.
• A Theatrical Tour de Force: With just a few actors playing a multitude of roles, the energy, timing, and sheer talent on display make this a performance you won’t soon forget.

Whether you’re a long-time Jeeves & Wooster fan or new to their misadventures, Perfect Nonsense is the perfect escape into a world of lighthearted comedy and dazzling stagecraft. Don’t miss your chance to witness Bertie flounder, Jeeves juggle (not literally, but close enough), and an entire cast of characters come to life in a way that only live theatre can deliver.

White Chip

The White Chip – A Powerful, Darkly Funny Journey to Sobriety

The road to recovery isn’t always a straight line—it twists, turns, and sometimes crashes before it climbs. The White Chip, making its West Coast Premiere, takes audiences on an unforgettable ride through addiction, self-destruction, and the unexpected humor that sometimes sneaks in along the way.

This deeply personal and wickedly funny play follows Steven, a man who seemingly has it all: a loving wife, loyal friends, and a career on the verge of greatness. But behind the success, he’s fighting a battle no one sees. From his first sip to his downward spiral, from career highs to personal rock bottom, his journey is both heartbreaking and hopeful.

What makes The White Chip stand out is its honest, unflinching look at addiction, layered with sharp humor and raw emotion. Addiction is often told in tragic tones, but this play dares to find levity in the darkest moments, making Steven’s story all the more relatable. It’s not just about falling—it’s about getting back up.

Critically acclaimed and fast becoming a must-see in American theatre, The White Chip is a story of resilience, redemption, and the unexpected paths to recovery. Whether you’ve struggled with addiction, know someone who has, or simply love powerful storytelling, this play is a moving and unforgettable experience.

A Christmas Carol The Musical at the Woodland Opera House

November 21 to December 7, 2025

If you’re looking for a holiday tradition that delivers heart, spectacle, and showstopping music, the Woodland Opera House has the perfect gift wrapped and ready. This year’s production of A Christmas Carol The Musical brings Charles Dickens’ timeless tale to life with an unforgettable score by famed Disney composer Alan Menken, whose credits include Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Newsies. Menken’s melodies give Scrooge’s journey extra sparkle, turning familiar moments into rich musical storytelling.

A historic setting that feels like stepping into a storybook

Built in the late 19th century and lovingly restored, its gleaming woodwork, red velvet seats, and ornate balconies transport audiences straight into the golden age of theatre. The building holds a rare honor as one of only four fully functioning historic opera houses still operating in California. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized as a California Historical Landmark, it’s the kind of venue where holiday magic feels right at home.

A Classic Tale with Broadway Pedigree

With music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Mike Ockrent and Lynn Ahrens, this adaptation offers a sweeping, melodic, Broadway sized take on Dickens’ iconic story. Originally presented by Radio City Entertainment at Madison Square Garden, the show features choreography inspired by Susan Stroman’s original staging and big ensemble numbers that feel lively and joyful.

The story follows the icy heart of Ebenezer Scrooge, a man who values coins over compassion. His “Bah, Humbug!” is legendary, but everything changes when he’s visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Their guidance forces him to confront who he has been and who he could become. By Christmas morning, he reclaims his humanity, offering generosity and warmth to the people he once ignored.
