NOVEMBER 27 - DECEMBER 22

Christmas in July with the Early Bird Discount!

We know—it’s odd to think about snow, freezing temperatures, and the holidays in the middle of the summer. But here at The Music Hall, we always have December on the brain. It’s hard not to when we’re thrilled to be bringing the absolute classic, Annie, to the stage in partnership with the Ogunquit Playhouse! These productions always bring us joy, between the incredible costumes, dancing and singing, local kiddos who've been cast, unbelievable sets that transport you to NYC, and Sally Struthers in her Broadway Tour reprisal of Miss Hannigan! Annie is on sale, and weekend shows are already going fast!

We want to help you out. The best seats and the best prices are still available during the week, so we’ve extended the early bird member discount into July to give YOU more time to get great tickets. And there’s more! We’ve added more shows to this special discount, so it includes previews (11/27 both shows and 11/29 matinee) and mid-week performances (Wednesday and Thursday shows). Want to be the greatest parent or grandparent ever? Get the kids out of school and come to a Wednesday 2pm show! Want to give your team or employees a special holiday treat? Forgo the tired holiday party in the office and catch a show after work together (ask about our group discount, too)!

Do not miss out on this special offer, going on now through July 15

Give the Gift of Magic to Others in Your Community

This holiday season’s Ogunquit Playhouse production of Annie at The Music Hall will be as magical as ever with extraordinary sets, super talented young people, and the songs we all know and love—all in our festive and gorgeous Historic Theater! Share this experience with those in need this year through our Give the Gift of Magic program.

Inspired by Morgan and Tara Rutman, the program gifted 349 tickets to local families and veterans last year. This year, we are excited to work with community partners Haven, Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Hampshire, Arts in Reach, Greater Seacoast Community Health (formerly Families First Health and Support Center and Goodwin Community Health of Somersworth) and Cross Roads House to distribute tickets. Says Janet Laatsch, CEO of Greater Seacoast Community Health, “We are so fortunate to once again be a beneficiary of The Music Hall’s Give the Gift of Magic campaign. This unique opportunity provides an experience many of our families can only dream of.”

From now through the first week of December, every time you purchase a ticket to any show at The Music Hall, you can give an additional, tax-deductible donation that will help us provide Annie tickets to those families in need. Donations are accepted online, in person, or over the phone at the B2W Box Office by calling 603.436.2400.

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR YOUR STAFF

As our partnership with the Ogunquit Playhouse continues to thrive, we hear from more people about building holiday traditions around the show, bringing family as well as friends and coworkers. We’ve also seen great success with office parties. Music Hall friend and restaurateur Michael Labrie closed down the River House and the Atlantic Grill for a night to bring nearly 100 employees and their families to a performance of Elf The Musical. His feedback follows:

What inspired you to share this experience with your staff?

Attending events at The Music Hall has been a tradition in my family for years. I wanted my staff to have an opportunity to do that, too. I thought it would be nice for them to take time away from the restaurant together with their families.

How did it go? Did your staff have a favorite part of the night?

Everyone loved the show. The holiday production is always family-friendly and entertaining for all ages. The Music Hall made it easy for me to provide snack and drink tickets and my staff appreciated the opportunity to enjoy refreshments. Hands down, their favorite part was the finale, when the snow fell on the audience!

Director Zhang Yimou (Hero, House of Flying Daggers) once again pushes the boundaries of wuxia action to create a film like no other, masterfully painting a canvas of inky blacks and greys punctuated with bursts of color from the blood of the defeated. In a kingdom ruled by a young and unpredictable king, the military commander has a secret weapon: a “shadow,” a look-alike who can fool both his enemies and the king himself. Now he must use this weapon in an intricate plan that will lead his people to victory in a war that the king does not want.

Celebrating Our Superlative Season Sponsors

July is a time of celebration and festivities. It’s Hot Dog Month, Ice Cream Month, and Picnic Month. It’s Independence Day (7/4), Barbershop Music Appreciation Day (7/13), and Mutt’s Day (7/31). At The Music Hall, we’ve got even more to celebrate: July is the official beginning of our 2019-20 Season, and the time we honor our major sponsors.

We are truly delighted to share that every member of this amazing group has already renewed their support for the 2019-20 Season. Our Season Sponsors are: the River House Restaurant, returning for a ninth year; Carey & Giampa Realtors, back for a seventh year; and Portwalk Place, celebrating their sixth year. Our Contributing Partner, the University of New Hampshire, has also signed on for their sixth season. We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our lead sponsor, B2W Software, has made a three-year commitment to our partnership, signing on for 2019-20 through the 2021-22 Season.
