NEW SHOWS, NEW HOURS, NEW SEASON

Palace Announces Summer Hours and On Sale Date for Fall Events

Fall will come a little earlier this year, when tickets for the Palace Theater’s September and October events go on sale to the general public Monday, July 26, at 10:00am.

In addition to tickets for the October presentation of NBC’s Last Comic Standing Tour, which went on sale June 14, four new performances have been added to the theater’s Fall line-up and will be available for purchase on July 26. Monty Python's Spamalot, the outrageous musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the film classic "Monty Python and The Holy Grail,” kicks off the Webster Broadway Series on September 24 and 25, and on October 2, the original cast of Broadway’s The Jersey Boys reunite to sing hits from the show, as well as a variety of Motown classics, during “The Boys in Concert.” Fan favorites Tower of Power return for an encore performance on October 22, and internationally-acclaimed “People’s Tenor,” Michael Amante, sings alongside Connecticut’s very own Soprano Marissa Famiglietti for a memorable night of music on October 23.

EPASS and subscriber pre-sale tickets for these Fall performances will be available starting Thursday, July 22, at 10:00am. For $75, a Palace EPASS membership gives patrons the opportunity to buy tickets to all shows featured in the 2010-2011 season, before they go on sale to the general public. For more information on becoming an EPASS member, contact the Box Office at 203-346-2000.

In addition to these new shows, the Box Office will also be hosting new summer hours.  Effective July 1, the Box Office’s hours of operation will be Mondays, from 10am to 5pm; Tuesdays and Wednesday, from 10am to 3pm; and Thursdays and Fridays, from 12pm to 5pm. The Box Office will be closed on weekends, except when there is a performance.
