Dallas Summer Musicals today announced a new operating name change to Broadway Dallas as well as its 2022-2023 Germania Insurance Broadway Series, Broadway Dallas in partnership with Broadway Across America (BAA).
While the organization’s name is changing, its commitment to bringing the best Broadway productions to Dallas is not. As the premier presenter of touring Broadway in the region, Broadway Dallas will continue to deliver the hottest, most award-winning, edge-of-your seat exciting shows to its diverse, multi-generational audiences on a year-round basis (not just in the summer). The name change and a series of new sub-brands also reflect the core of Broadway Dallas’ mission to grow its already expansive education programs and community partnerships which allow the organization to share the “Spirit of Broadway” with members of the community who might not otherwise have access to these world-class productions.
“We changed our name from Dallas Summer Musicals to Broadway Dallas to accurately capture who we are and what we do. It encompasses not only the magnificent work that we put on our stage, but also our other exciting events and community engagement and education programs through which we share ‘the spirit of Broadway’ with as many members of our community as possible,” said Ken Novice, President and CEO of Broadway Dallas.
“We could not be more excited about our 2022-2023 Germania Insurance Broadway Series,” continued Novice. “With new blockbusters, classics, and crowd favorites, it’s a stunning season that offers many opportunities to make new memories with your friends and family.”
The Germania Insurance Broadway Series launches in September with the Tony Award®-winning smash-hit Broadway musical AIN’T TOO PROUD – THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TEMPTATIONS. The series continues with Lincoln Center Theater’s critically acclaimed production of Lerner & Loewe’s MY FAIR LADY; the electrifying new global phenomenon SIX; one of Hollywood’s most beloved romantic stories of all time, PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL; the first North American tour of MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL, the winner of ten 2021 Tony Awards® including Best Musical; TOOTSIE, a laugh-out-loud love letter to the theater, based on the Oscar®-nominated film; and the history-making new play Harper Lee’s TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD – written by Academy Award® winner Aaron Sorkin. In addition, the international Irish dance phenomenon RIVERDANCE 25TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW will be offered as a season option.
SIX and TOOTSIE will be presented by Broadway Dallas at the Winspear Opera House as part of its on-going collaboration with the AT&T Performing Arts Center.

Presented by Broadway Dallas at the Music Hall at Fair Park
(Season Option)
RIVERDANCE, as you’ve never seen it before! A powerful and stirring reinvention of this beloved favorite, celebrated the world over for its Grammy award‐winning score and the thrilling energy and passion of its Irish and international dance. Twenty‐five years on, composer Bill Whelan has rerecorded his mesmerizing soundtrack while producer Moya Doherty and director John McColgan have completely reimagined the ground‐breaking show with innovative and spectacular lighting, projection, stage and costume designs. Immerse yourself in the extraordinary power and grace of its music and dance–beloved by fans of all ages. Fall in love with the magic of RIVERDANCE all over again. For over 25 years, nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of RIVERDANCE.
RIVERDANCE began its journey as the interval act in the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, produced for television by Moya Doherty. This electrifying and innovative seven‐minute dance piece was then developed into a full‐length stage show by Producer Moya Doherty, Composer Bill Whelan and Director John McColgan. With its fusion of Irish and International music and dance, the show broke all box office records during its world première run in Dublin in early 1995. When the show transferred to London the reaction was unprecedented. There followed a hugely successful tour starting in New York in March 1996, where 8 sold‐out shows at Radio City Music Hall heralded the start of two decades of touring by RIVERDANCE companies throughout North America. Since its inception RIVERDANCE has packed theatres throughout North America, Oceania, Asia, Europe, South Africa and South America.
