Riverside Center for the Performing Arts in Fredericksburg is gearing up for an exciting 2025 season. It will showcase a diverse lineup of musicals, classic plays, and compelling dramas. With a mix of nostalgic favorites and thought-provoking productions, Riverside aims to offer something for everyone.
Season Opener: "Heartbreak Hotel"
The season kicks off in January with Heartbreak Hotel, a musical celebrating Elvis Presley's rise. Featuring over 40 of his classic hits, the production promises to transport audiences back to the early days of rock and roll. Director Patrick A’Hearn expressed confidence that the show will be a hit, noting that “group ticket sales are already off the charts.” Heartbreak Hotel is set to be a fun and high-energy start to the new season, inviting the audience to relive the music and magic of a young Elvis.
A Powerful Story: "Jesus Christ Superstar"
In time for the Lenten season, Riverside will bring the iconic *Jesus Christ Superstar* to the stage. This legendary rock opera tells the story of the final week of Jesus’ life, focusing on the music's emotional depth and power. “It’s a story that we all know, and it’s an inspirational one,” said A’Hearn. “From Elvis to Jesus, we’re moving through musical history and telling stories that people connect with on a deep level.”
