The traveling production of “Hamilton” is expected to be the big draw in the upcoming 2018-2019 season at the Providence Performing Arts Center, which will also mark the 90th anniversary of the theater, formerly known as the “Loews State Theatre”.

“Of course, the flagship of our Taco / White Family series is “Hamilton”,” said Lynn Singleton, the President and CEO of “PPAC”. Hamilton is scheduled from July 23 to August 11, 2019.

“Beyond that, we’re opening three national tours, “Miss Saigon”, “The Band’s Visit” and “Cats”, Singleton said.

He said other shows include “Phantom of the Opera”, the return of “Jersey Boys” the return of “Book of Mormon”, “Anastasia”, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, “School of Rock”, “Waitress The Musical” and “Stomp”.

Tickets for the upcoming season will go on sale at a date to be announced later. Singleton said his phone has been ‘blowing up’ with calls from friends who want tickets to “Hamilton”.

“If you want to guarantee you get seats to “Hamilton”, you really need to become a subscriber,” he said.

In a statement, the theater said that the PPAC Box Office is the only official ticketing source for tickets to a PPAC show, adding, “Be safe; be smart” and avoid purchasing tickets from unauthorized secondary providers who may be peddling counterfeit tickets.
