The Fox vice president of programming, John O’Brien, said he is excited about the mix of seasons this season, which “brings a little bit of everything with elements of each production.”

The upcoming season’s productions were selected after O’Brien viewed shows in New York and decided what they “feel will work best for St. Louis.”

“It is a highly collaborative process, working internally to create the season while working with agents and producers in New York to find dates that work and bring the shows to St. Louis,” he said.

O’Brien elaborated and said the theater’s hope is “always to bring the best of Broadway and to give St. Louis a great mix of titles.”

“We want to make sure we have a variety of shows so there is something for everyone,” he said. “We are so excited about this season because it really is a mix of everything: family titles, blockbusters, beloved music catalogs, classic musicals, St. Louis favorites, and more.”

He hopes the audience feels joy, connection, excitement, amazement, inspiration, and so much more this season.

“We love sharing Broadway and the Fabulous Fox itself with St. Louis, so we always want our guests to walk away with fabulous memories,” he said.
