Schedule of Broadway shows coming to Orlando starting this fall
ORLANDO, Fla. - Broadway shows are coming back to Orlando.
The COVID-19 pandemic shut down shows and concerts across America in early 2020. The good news for Orlando residents though is that some of these will begin again soon.
The Florida Theatrical Association, Dr. Phillips Center and Broadway Across America announced on Wednesday that the 'FAIRWINDS Broadway in Orlando' series will begin in the fall of 2021.
