Worried that Broadway might not return to Jackson next year? Consider this option.
The shows are presented at the legendary Saenger Theatre on Canal Street. Let's face it, most of these shows will never appear in Jackson as it is just too small a market. However, the cost of going to see a show in New Orleans certainly adds up when one considers paying for hotel rooms and other expenses. Fortunately there is an alternative.
There is always a show at 2 PM on Saturday and 1 PM on Sunday. Leave Jackson in the morning, go to the show, hit Palace Cafe down the street or Middendorf's on the way back . Nice day trip, good entertainment, and you get back at a decent hour. Click here for more info.
Just a suggestion.

Of all the things to worry about, Broadway not coming to Jackson didn’t make the cut.
Memphis Orpheum announces its season 3/17.
Jackson is simply returning to it's roots. Back in the early days the plantation bosses and local aristocrats would simply go to New Orleans or Atlanta or wherever for a taste of culture and high class entertainment. Jackson only started to emerge in the late 20th century as a limited but temporary venue. As the "new South" continues to emerge Jackson had little progressive leadership and retreated to it's old South roots. We see the results. As bad as New Orleans is, it stays ahead of Jackson.
Go to New Orleans, have a good time.
too far to drive to new orleans
If I’m driving to New Orleans and back for a show I better see sum titties. Right?
@2:06 the type of guys who go see these type shows (and post about them on their blog) aren't the titties and beer type. The sip chardonnay and complement each other's expensive high-heeled "boots"
Straight Guy Here....I signed up for the season info. Good Stuff.
you would probably enjoy going to the movies in Pearl anyway
Does BTTF:The Musical feature an actual DeLorean? because the car was the real star of that franchise!
A +1 to the recommendation.
We've been season ticket holders for many years (you'd have to ask the wife about the specific number) and it's well worth it for anyone who enjoys such things. They are well-done stagings in a very nice atmosphere and I've never felt the slightest amount of danger in attending, even with evening tickets. No one would ever mistake me for anything other than "a typical guy" as I fart, belch, hunt, fish, manspreadsplain, and cuss my way through life with really good Scotch, cigars, and a Lab or two ready at hand (often to chagrin or admonition of of the much-beloved aforementioned wife), but I gotta say I'm on board with this stuff.
