SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts is excited to welcome fresh faces and veteran Broadway talents during its 2021–22 season. Scottsdale Arts ONE Members have a chance to grab their favorite seats before tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, April 2, 2021.

As the Great Bright Way in Manhattan’s lights were dim most of last year, the Center was able to present two Broadway concerts featuring performers on hiatus from national and international stages.
