  • Kimmel Center Cultural Campus

    Dear friends,

    Welcome to the Academy of Music on the Kimmel Center Cultural Campus, the two-week home of this 7-time-Tony nominee and Winner for Best Musical, Come From Away. We are thrilled to host this show’s Philadelphia premiere. A story rich with heart that captures the love and resilience of the human spirit in the wake of the unthinkable, it is captured through a lens of hospitality and grace.

    As we officially kick off our 2019–20 Kimmel Center Broadway Philadelphia season, boasting a combined 44 Tony Awards®, we invite audiences to be swept away into new worlds with each show. Productions premiering in Philadelphia for the first-time-ever include: Tony- and Grammy Award-winning Dear Evan Hansen, the musical that stunned Broadway from songwriting duo Benj Pasek (also a Philadelphia native!) and Justin Paul (of The Greatest Showman fame); Mean Girls, the movie-turned-musical from superstar comedian (and Philly-area native) Tina Fey; Tony Award winners SpongeBob SquarePants and The Band’s Visit; and Escape to Margaritaville, the perfect recipe for a good time with Jimmy Buffet’s greatest hits. New and favorites returning by popular demand include Cirque Dreams: Holidaze, Hello Dolly!, Riverdance, Les Misérables, Jesus Christ Superstar, Waitress, and Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.

    At the center of Come From Away is an unforgettable, international tale of community and friendship. Don’t forget about our FREE monthly programs that speak to the breadth of the human experience. NEW this fall—visit our Commonwealth Plaza in the Kimmel Center to experience Los Trompos (or “The Spinning Tops”). Engineered by Mexican artists Héctor Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena, and crafted with traditional Mexican weavings, these larger-than-life art pieces are here for you to sit or spin—and while you’re there, Look Up! Look In! Commissioned by the Kimmel Center, Mexican-American, Philadelphia-based artist Karina Puente has designed “Papel Picado”, as an aerial companion piece to Los Trompos with 53 hand-cut structures suspended above the Plaza. The latest in a line of Kimmel-commissioned work, this exhibition is one facet of our vision to transform lives daily through the arts. Both grace our Plaza through November 17.

    The Kimmel Center Cultural Campus is the region’s most impactful non-profit performing arts center, and a home to not only touring Broadway, but world-renowned jazz, comedians, family-friendly fun, eight distinguished Resident Companies, and FREE education opportunities all year long. Thank you for joining us for a season of memory-making as we grow our community of Broadway fans & experience Tony-winning blockbuster shows in our own backyard. Make sure to sign up for our Ovation weekly e-newsletter and connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to ensure you don’t miss any news!
