There’s no show quite like a Broadway show and, luckily for us, we don’t have to travel all the way to NYC to see one. The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and Broadway Across America are bringing exciting new arrivals to the city, from South Florida premieres to the return of blockbuster musicals. Since there are always so many things to do in Miami all the time, and shows are constantly coming and going, it’s hard to keep track of what’s currently on. To make things a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of productions to look forward to! Check them out:
Some Like It Hot
