From DMPA:

Des Moines Performing Arts (DMPA) announced their new 2024-2025 Willis Broadway Series for the Civic Center. Six shows make up the Season Ticket Package with three returning favorites and a special concert, in collaboration with the Des Moines Symphony, offered as add-on options.  

The six-show Season Ticket Package includes: Back to the Future: The Musical, Shucked, Life of Pi, Some Like it Hot, & Juliet, and Parade. The add-ons include Santino Fontana with the Des Moines Symphony, Chicago, Hadestown, and Hamilton. 

All six shows in the Season Ticket Package are first-run national Broadway tours. This season marks the 20th Anniversary of the Willis Broadway Series. 

DMPA has a long tradition of financially investing in Broadway productions as part of the Independent Presenters Network (IPN), a consortium of 40 leading Broadway presenters, theaters, and performing arts centers. The 2024 – 25 season features three DMPA-invested shows:  

·         & Juliet

·         Life of Pi

·         Some Like it Hot

The only way to guarantee seats to the six-show Willis Broadway Series is to purchase Season Tickets.  Season Tickets to the Willis Broadway Series are on sale now at the Civic Center ticket office, by phone at (515) 246-2322, or online at DMPA.org. Single tickets will go on sale to the general public nearer to the season. 

Avoid being scammed – only by tickets from the venue, or its official venue, where you wish to attend an event.
