Lincoln Center Line-up
The Lincoln Center has released its fall line-up. I highlighted the Imagination Series below. Tickets go on sale August 9th. I can't wait!
Lincoln Center Announces 2011 Season Line Up, Grand Re-Opening Dates
Released on Wednesday, May 18th, 2011
The Lincoln Center has stacked the deck (and not just its brand new Rooftop Deck) with a Grand Re-Opening Season featuring national tours of Tony-award winning Broadway musicals, dance, classical music and family shows. This year offers holiday specials, concerts and comedy events for extra appeal.
The Lincoln Center Performing Arts Grand Re-Opening Season will kick off the weekend of September 16th.
Season renewals began today, new subscriptions will be available July 1, and single tickets go on sale August 9. This year several shows are expected to sell out. Visit www.lctix.com for more information on shows and to purchase tickets when they go on sale.
2011/2012 Lincoln Center Shows
Grand Re-Opening: The Mid-Town Men – 4 Stars From The Original Cast of Jersey Boys. Tickets include grand opening reception with complementary drinks and appetizers
Showstoppers Series: South Pacific, Spamalot, 100 Years of Broadway, Straight No Chaser, Burn The Floor

The Lincoln Center renovation and expansion will be completed in phases. Many areas of the building will be finished in July, when several weddings are scheduled for the new Rooftop Deck and completely renovated CanyonWest Grand Ballroom. The Performance Hall will be completed in August.
In addition to the new Rooftop Deck overlooking the Entry Plaza, other improvements include state-of-the-art acoustical upgrades in both performance halls, a new self-contained and climate-controlled arts gallery, greatly expanded lobby spaces with three new permanent bars, new (and more) bathrooms, and a newly remodeled ballroom and Outdoor Terrace.
“The ‘new’ Lincoln Center is all about improving the patron experience,” said Jill Stilwell, director of Cultural Services. “We’ve created new spaces to meet and mingle prior to shows, relocated the Box Office to a more convenient space, added 17,000 square feet of new space and renovated 55,000 feet of existing space. Now, we look forward to providing a community gathering spot for Fort Collins and Northern Colorado for the next 32 years.”
The Lincoln Center has also upgraded its ticketing system, and will now offer print-at-home ticketing as well as the opportunity to pick your seats when purchasing online.
The Lincoln Center will host a public open house from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Sunday, August 14. More information on the open house and the renovation is available at LCTix.com.
