Broadway San Jose has announced its 2013-14 season. Headlining the 6-show season will be a three-week run of Wicked, the Tony Award winning musical that maintains its position as the top selling musical on Broadway, nine years after its premiere.
From the release: the fifth Broadway San Jose season will start in October of 2013 with the Bay Area exclusive engagement of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, followed by a new revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic Evita in November.
The first show of 2014 will be a multi-media tribute to chart-topping, Grammy-Award-winning The Bee Gees, with a unique tribute performance titled The Australian Bee Gees Show; followed by a musical tribute to Webber, Broadway’s most beloved composer, beginning in May.
Coming in July is the blockbuster Jersey Boys, the rags-to-rock-to-riches story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.

Broadway San Jose general manager Nanci Williams said, “With two blockbusters, two Bay Area premiere engagements, and a three-week run of Wicked, our fifth season in San Jose promises to bring more patrons to the San Jose Center for Performing Arts, and to downtown San Jose, than ever before.”
“For more than 40 years, the Center for the Performing Arts has played center stage for patrons of all ages to enjoy symphonies, ballets, community events, comedies, and musical performances,” said Bill Sherry, Team San Jose CEO. “San Jose residents and visitors deserve the best Broadway has to offer and Broadway San Jose’s fifth season is the best line-up yet.”
Broadway San Jose’s 2013-14 season begins on October 29th, 2013.
