SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Broadway at the Eccles has announced the shows coming to Utah next year.

The six-show season package also includes “Frozen: The Musical,” “Miss Saigon,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Anastasia,” and “A Christmas Story: The Musical.”
Tickets for “Dear Evan Hansen” will be handled much the same way the theater did for Salt Lake’s stop of “Hamilton” – 2018-2019 season ticket holders who renew for next season will get first shot at reserving tickets before they are made available to the general public.
