WHAT, LIKE IT'S HARD? While the Pablo Center at the Confluence continually adds productions and events to its year-long calendar of happenings, the bulk of its ninth season has rolled out – now with its July 21  announcement unveiling three new Broadway productions. (Submitted photo)

Pablo Center at the Confluence will continue to grow its ninth season, "On the Rise," with its latest wave of performances, spotlighted by the welcoming of a new ticketing host and the group's first-ever Broadway subscription.

From "KPOP Princesses: A Tribute to Demon Hunters" to Davis Sedaris and Swan Lake, season nine has already brought the city of Eau Claire a presentation of world-class entertainment for every age and interest.

Today, July 21, the Pablo Center launched its first-ever Broadway subscription, a new opportunity for local and visiting patrons to purchase the season's three Broadway productions in one fell swoop.

Between "Legally Blonde: The Musical," "SIX" and "Shucked" – each with their own Tony Award nominations and wins – these newly announced shows promise to deliver laugh-out-loud humor, heartfelt storytelling, modern pop-inspired music and more.

"Broadway continues to be a huge hit with our audiences, and we're thrilled to finally offer a subscription package," Kathy Wright, Pablo Center's director of talent and booking, said. "People no longer have to leave the Chippewa Valley to experience nationally touring Broadway productions.

"We're proud to offer the quality of entertainment you'd expect in a major market while providing the convenience and hospitality that make an evening in Eau Claire so enjoyable," Wright continued.

Pablo Center's new Broadway subscription package – and single show tickets – will be available first to Pablo Members, then the general public. 

A New Era for Broadway at Pablo Center

Headlining today's announcement is the launch of Pablo Center's first-ever Broadway subscription, allowing patrons to purchase all three Broadway productions together for the first time in the organization's history.

The subscription includes:

• "Legally Blonde The Musical" – The beloved Broadway hit follows Elle Woods as she defies expectations and discovers her own potential in this funny, energetic, and inspiring musical packed with memorable songs and heart.
• "Shucked" – One of Broadway's biggest recent successes, this Tony Award-winning musical comedy delivers laugh-out-loud humor, heartfelt storytelling, and an irresistible country-inspired score.
• "SIX" – The international phenomenon transforms the six wives of Henry VIII into modern pop icons in a high-energy concert experience that has captivated audiences around the world.
