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.

Catch it your way: an open-captioned performance on July 11; audio-described on July 12 (matinee); sign-interpreted on July 13; plus evening shows through July 17 to fit any schedule

The narrative—gang rivalry, love across divides, the immigrant experience—resonates just as strongly today. Songs like “America” and “Somewhere” still echo with relevance and hope
4. Family-Friendly Theater
Under the tent, Sacramento audiences can share this vibrant, emotional masterpiece—ideal for musical lovers and families seeking a summer arts experience that moves the heart.

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.

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.

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.”

This winter, audiences of all ages will have the chance to witness one of history’s most inspiring stories brought to life onstage in Sacramento. From February 4 through March 8, 2026, B Street Theatre presents Harriet Tubman & the Underground Railroad, a powerful theatrical retelling of the extraordinary life of Harriet Tubman. Written by Jerry Montoya and returning by popular demand, this production returns to the Family Series stage due to overwhelming community interest.

Performed at The Sofia Tsakopoulos Center for the Arts, the play invites theatergoers to follow Tubman’s remarkable journey from enslavement to fearless conductor on the Underground Railroad. Through determination, bravery, and an unwavering belief in justice, Tubman risked everything to lead others to freedom — a narrative that resonates across generations. Filled with adventure, faith, heart, and hope, the show underscores how one person’s courage can shape history and inspire audiences to stand up for what’s right.

Highly recommended for ages 5 and up, the performance runs about 75 minutes with an intermission, making it perfect for families, school groups, and young audiences discovering this powerful chapter of American history. Advance tickets are already on sale, and given the show’s popularity — it has sold out in past runs — early booking is advised.

Throughout its limited run, audiences will have multiple chances to experience this moving portrayal of resilience and hope. Student matinee field trips are also available, offering an educational complement to classroom study and a memorable live-theater experience for kids.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, parent, educator, or theater lover, Harriet Tubman & the Underground Railroad promises to be a highlight of Sacramento’s winter arts season — a chance to feel the pulse of history in a performance that speaks to the power of courage and community.

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.

Mean Girls The Musical Is Coming – And That’s So Fetch!

Get in, loser—we’re going to the theater! Mean Girls, the hilarious, high-energy Broadway musical, is coming to town from February 18-23, 2025, and you do NOT want to miss it.

This razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud adaptation of the iconic 2004 film brings all the drama, sass, and unforgettable one-liners to the stage in a glitzy, pink-powered spectacle. With a book by comedy queen Tina Fey, music by Jeff Richmond, and lyrics by Nell Benjamin, Mean Girls is packed with witty dialogue, catchy songs, and over-the-top high school chaos.

The Story You Love, Now Live on Stage!

Cady Heron thought she knew survival skills—after all, she grew up in the African savanna. But high school? That’s a whole different kind of jungle. When she moves to suburban Illinois and befriends the ultimate trio of frenemies—Regina George, Gretchen Wieners, and Karen Smith (a.k.a. The Plastics)—she quickly learns the rules of popularity, manipulation, and how to navigate cafeteria seating like a pro.

But when Cady hatches a plan to take down Queen Bee Regina, she realizes that messing with high school royalty can have some seriously savage consequences.

Why You Need to See Mean Girls on Stage

Hilarious & Smart – Written by Tina Fey (yes, THE Tina Fey), this musical delivers snappy, on-point humor that keeps audiences laughing all night long.

A Killer Soundtrack – With music by Jeff Richmond (of 30 Rock fame) and lyrics by Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde: The Musical), every song is catchy, hilarious, and totally fetch.

All Your Favorite Moments, Live! – From the Burn Book to the Halloween party gone wrong, every iconic moment is brought to life on stage—plus some fun surprises!

A Spectacular Broadway Experience – Directed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw, the show is packed with show-stopping dance numbers, dazzling set designs, and jaw-dropping performances
