We hope to have upcoming offers for the following shows: Bob the Builder, Fiddler on the Roof, Wizard of Oz, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins.
Because our group did not make the min order of 20 tickets for some of the shows last season, in general as shows come up we will have just 2 performance dates to per show to pick from. We also won't offer as many shows as in past seasons. The good news is the Texas State Fair show is Mary Poppins. If DFW area homeschoolers can encourage others to order when these offers become available, it will make it easier for our group rep to negotiate with the production companies and Ticketmaster.
Watch for updates.

They have other order options that cost more, but Ticketfast or Standard mail are your most economical options.

If it can't find seats, try again in a different section or a different date with our homeschool discount code entered.

Order early for best seats, the offer stays up while ticket supplies remain available, so order early for best seats and some sections may sell out faster than others.

Homeschool Group Sales Show dates and discount pricing:

How this works:

Upcoming shows available for orders, we need to have 20 tickets ordered per show for these offers to continue.

Based upon your feedback, here are the shows that will be offered for Homeschool Discounts for the next season. Exact show time dates will be picked at a later time. Expect to order well in advance of the show date.

For each show, there will be select performance dates picked for the homeschool discount show during that show's run period, and you will be able to pick from multiple seating/price levels. In general for each show, both a daytime and night time performance are offered. Once the offer expires, you will NOT be able to get the group sales rate, so it's very important for you to order in a timely manner once the sale for a particular show is active.

Note while shows are listed below in order by show date, we may need to do the actual offers out of order, depending upon the show. Only one show will be offered at any one time. For most current info check this page

But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the program's reigning princess, win the heart of hearthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her `do? Only in HAIRSPRAY, based upon the New Line Cinema film written and directed by John Waters.

A good-natured, high-energy musical,” is based on the 1998 hit film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. It’s the 1980s, with junk bonds, MTV, leg warmers and Duran Duran, but Robbie Hart lives in his grandmother’s basement in New Jersey and sings in a wedding band. Dreams of being a singer/songwriter are gone, replaced by a desire to find the right girls and settle down. When his fiancée leaves him at the altar, he becomes a wedding planner’s worst nightmare, taking out his bitterness on stage.

Sweeney Todd -Tuesday, January 15, 2008 at 8pm, Wed, January 16, 2008 at 8pm, Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 8pm and Sunday, January 20, 2008 - - The Majestic Theatre - Special - $20 student tickets! - offer completed
This is the Tony(R) Award-winning Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's musical thriller, SWEENEY TODD. The touring production of Doyle's revolutionary re-imagining of the musical - considered to be Sondheim's masterpiece - is presented by Dallas Summer Musicals' Broadway Contemporary Series, starring Judy Kaye (The Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia!) as Mrs. Lovett and David Hess as the demon barber himself, Sweeney Todd. This exciting and innovative new production features a multi-talented ensemble of ten talented actor/musicians, five from the 2006 Tony(R) Award-winning Broadway company.
How does the movie compare to the theater production?
According to my group sales rep: "I also wanted to tell you, that the movie is rated R, however our show is not that gruesome. It has some issues that I believe would be more PG-13, but certainly not rated R."

Unexpected things can come from the sky--messages, signs, promises. On stage, not only rain will fall, surprises will pour down as well. There's a certain kind of feeling in CIRQUE ELOIZE: RAIN, almost a sense of nostalgia, like a strange need to go back to the house you came from, the house where a family once lived, where your roots are. In our house we call this kind of beautiful, sweet sadness that you feel when you look at a sunset, "rain in your eyes."
