Broadway in Indianapolis announces new season, including 'Wicked,' 'Six, 'Moulin Rouge!'
Three shows that haven't yet traveled here will be as part of Broadway in Indianapolis' 2024-25 season. The Circle City debuts are sandwiched between "Elf" The Musical, which will open the season in December, and the beloved "Wicked," which will close it out next summer.
In between are "Moulin Rouge!" The Musical, "Six" and "Beetlejuice" — shows that premiered on Broadway between 2019 and 2021. In a season with several recognizable titles from the movies, "Six" stands out as the popular retelling of King Henry VIII's wives by the women themselves. (Of course, at least a few of these ladies have had plenty of screen time devoted to their experiences and violent endings as well.)
