Be dazzled at the gloriously reimagined legendary musical, LES MISÉRABLES and thrilled with the stunning new production of JEKYLL & HYDE. Fall in love with the mesmerizing WEST SIDE STORY and don't miss an evening with the widely acclaimed musical revue of Broadway's most celebrated shows in Neil Berg's 100 YEARS OF BROADWAY.

"Thanks to our sponsors and Oklahoma City's continuing support, our entire show line-up offers unforgettable experiences for all to enjoy," said Larry Payton, Celebrity Attractions President.

Breaking box office records, more than 92% of Oklahoma City Broadway subscribers renewed their season tickets for the highly anticipated 2012-2013 season.

"Almost fourteen years ago, the Civic Center Music Hall went dark to begin MAPS renovations. The very last show on stage was a legendary masterpiece which broke Oklahoma City box office records at that time," said Payton. "I am of course talking about the incomparable LES MISÉRABLES. So it's only fitting to open our 2012-2013 Broadway season with this special 25th anniversary production of LES MISÉRABLES. This will be the first time this show has been to Oklahoma City since the Civic Center Music Hall reopened!"
