With three Broadway musicals celebrating the careers of pop music stars, a handful of living musical legends and tributes to other classic rock acts, the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall’s 2025-26 season may resemble a nostalgic survey of changing musical styles over the last 60 years.
Executive Director Mary Bensel, who has led the Van Wezel since 2007 , has put together a lineup that includes 54 different acts and productions, including five tribute shows, 10 Broadway musicals and plays, two comedians and a few living legends from Paul Anka and The Oak Ridge Boys to opera singer Renee Fleming, The Temptations and Four Tops.
