Washington Pavilion adds 3 shows to 2022-23 season

Now there are three more reasons to get excited about the new performance season coming up at the Washington Pavilion.

A “bonus bundle” of shows has been added to the six-show all-Broadway Pavilion Performance Series.

Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story

Coming to the Mary W. Sommervold Hall stage Nov. 2-3, 2022, this show, which is loved by critics and audiences alike, tells the enduring tale of Buddy Holly’s meteoric rise to musical fame and his final legendary performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, before his tragic and untimely death at the age of 22.

Boasting a phenomenally multi-talented cast, together they present two terrific hours of music with more than 20 of his greatest hits, including the timeless classics “That’ll Be the Day,” “Peggy Sue,” “Oh Boy” and “Rave On.”

R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

It’s the ultimate tribute to the legendary Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, and will wow audiences Feb. 13-14, 2023.  The production journeys through Aretha Franklin’s courageous life of love, tragedy and triumph, starring a live band, supreme vocalists and a night full of music by one of the greatest artists of all time. The show is designed to transport you to the 1960s Motown era with songs like “Natural Woman,” “Think,” “I Knew You Were Waiting for Me,” “Chain of Fools” and “Respect.”

Special pricing is available when you purchase tickets to both shows in this Bonus Bundle package. Series subscribers will enjoy a deep discount when they enhance their four- or six-show Series subscriptions by buying the Bonus Bundle as well.

Forever Young

An exciting look at one of the greatest hits of all time, this show will perform at the Washington Pavilion on Oct. 11, 2022. Packed full of pop, rock and country classics, it tells the story of how one record player truly can change everything.

Tickets for “Buddy” and “R.E.S.P.E.C.T.” go on sale to Pavilion donors today, subscribers and members Thursday and the public Friday. “Forever Young” goes on sale to Pavilion donors Aug. 31, subscribers and members Sept. 1 and the public Sept. 2. Go to WashingtonPavilion.org/Shows for details.
