Broadway at the Paramount brings New York musical theater to one of our loveliest historic venues. The 2019/2020 season is underway now, but the 2020/2021 series lineup (presented by Premera Blue Cross, as they note in the press release) was just announced today, and we've got all the details here. The biggest news is that Hamilton is coming back for another six-week run after a slate of sold-out shows in 2018, but other highlights range from Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations to Jesus Christ Superstar to Pretty Woman: The Musical.
