Where are my Theatre lovers at?
You may not know this but I actually minored in Theatre when I went to college. I spent most of my high school and college years in different plays and shows. It really was a huge part of my life, and while I don’t like being on the stage anymore, I do love seeing shows.
Charlotte has been lucky enough to get a bunch of different Broadway shows that come through on tour here. This year will be no different. According to a press release by Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, this is their line-up for the year!
Some of the shows coming to Charlotte include, MOULIN ROUGE! The Musical and Company, BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical, THE WIZ, FUNNY GIRL, and MRS. DOUBTFIRE.
But that’s not it, other musicals coming through Charlotte for the 2023-2024 season are, PETER PAN, MAMMA MIA, BEETLEJUICE, Disney’s THE LION KING.
They offer different packages you can buy if you want to see clusters of shows, or you can choose to just buy tickets for one show too. You can check out their website for all the details on that.
This past year, I went to see ANASTASIA, and was pretty blown away by it, so i’m hoping to be able to make it to some of these shows as well!

These Celebrities Have March Birthdays
March signifies the month of rebirth, as we exit winter and enter spring with a fresh start. There are so many celebrities who are born in March, being either a Pisces (until March 20) or an Aries (March 21 to April 19). March Pisces’ energy is usually associated with being empathic, competitive and ethereal. This sign makes incredible artists and creatives. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, making it to be the most wise and psychic of all the other signs. Meanwhile, Aries are the first sign of the zodiac, so they tend to be raw with their needs, wants and emotions. Fiery Aries are bold and ambitious, and when it comes to some of our favorite stars and directors, it is thrilling to watch.
