WELCOME TO THE KENTUCKY CENTER!

As The Book of Mormon celebrates its 15th anniversary on Broadway, we’re thrilled to welcome our favorite mismatched missionaries back to Louisville. This nine-time Tony Award-winning musical features a powerhouse creative team: Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park), along with Robert Lopez, a two-time EGOT winner known for his work on Frozen, Coco, and Avenue Q

We’ll close out the 2025-2026 season with The Outsiders in August. Winner of four Tony Awards, including the 2024 award for Best Musical, this production brings S.E. Hinton’s iconic 1967 novel and the beloved 1983 film to life with stunning stagecraft and choreography. We’re excited to welcome the show in its inaugural national tour.

Thank you to everyone who renewed their season tickets for the 2026-2027 season! Because of your continued support, we’ve created a lineup that is contemporary, nostalgic, and full of fun. If you haven’t renewed—or are considering becoming a new subscriber—this new season is packed with hit musicals, along with exclusive subscriber benefits.

The season kicks off this fall with Jersey Boys and The Lion King. After the new year, we’ll present five consecutive Louisville premieres: BOOP! The Musical in January, A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical in February, Death Becomes Her in March, Maybe Happy Ending in April, and the season concludes in May with Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen. We hope you’ll join us!

Many thanks to you for being here today, and to PNC Bank, the Louisville Theatrical Association Board of Directors, The Kentucky Center team, and all our incredible volunteers for their continued support.

Enjoy the show!
