Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,

Good evening, and welcome to the Saroyan for the final show of our 17-18 season Fresno Lexus Broadway in Fresno Series. The , winner of , is making its second appearance in Fresno.

I’m Mike Gibson of Fresno Lexus and as the title sponsor of the Broadway Series, I want to extend my personal warm welcome to subscribers and patrons to these performances. Whether you are a subscriber, returning patron, or at our beloved Saroyan Theatre for the first time, thank you for coming!

While we are on the cusp of beginning our programming for the 18-19 season, I did want to pass along some exciting news. At the time of my writing this letter, our subscription base for the upcoming season is at an all-time high. I personally am so grateful of Fresno’s response to Lexus Broadway in Fresno.

And our 18-19 season is spectacular.

Our first show, Disney’s , is playing in late and early December. Winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this show is one of the most beloved, and celebrated, musicals. Directed by , with music and lyrics by Sir and , this show is one everyone should see and we are excited to be part of its first Fresno engagement.

I think you will find THE KING AND I to be “Something Wonderful”, that you will be “Over The Moon” at and laugh till you cry as we say “Welcome To The Renaissance” with SOMETHING ROTTEN.

I also hope that you will chose to join us for the return of , one of the most “Popular” Broadway musicals of all-time.

As always, we appreciate your patronage…..our Broadway Series can’t happen without your support and enjoy this performance of The Book of Mormon!
