Curtain Call in Pennsylvania

History & Heritage

 

Hershey Theatre

When it comes to Pennsylvania, most visitors think immediately about the historic sites of Gettysburg or Philadelphia or the chocolate-flavored attractions Hershey has to offer, but groups should not rule out the Keystone State as a hotspot for entertainment. With curtains rising in theaters across the state for musicals, concerts and dinner shows, tour planners have countless opportunities to add some razzle-dazzle to their itineraries. National headliners, classic Broadway hits, religious dramas and the grandeur of old-time architecture spark interest among travelers of all ages.

The American Music Theatre in Lancaster features a variety of original shows and touring concerts in its 1,600-seat venue. Since opening in 1997, the theater has welcomed Grammy, CMA, Tony and Oscar winners to its stage. Upcoming shows include Country Classics (May 2-June 30), Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons (May 17) and The 50’s Dance Party (July 13).
