MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT
& CEO
The Blockbusters
Wicked is back!
There are
certain shows that
audiences can’t get
enough of. You can’t
always predict which ones will reach
blockbuster status when they first open on
Broadway, but if we’re lucky, every few years
another big show takes New York by storm
and becomes the must-see production of
the season, with tickets nearly impossible
to come by. A tour is announced, and our
programming department goes into high
gear to make sure The Bushnell is on the
production’s itinerary. You can tell if a show
is going to achieve that rare staying power
of a true blockbuster if, just a week or so
after the production leaves Hartford, our
patrons are asking me, “When are you
bringing back . . . ?” And you can fill in the
blank with Wicked or Jersey Boys or Lion
King or Book of Mormon. This season, we’re
thrilled to have Glinda and Elphaba back
on (and above) the stage of the Mortensen.
Something tells me it won’t be their last visit!
Of course a steady diet of blockbusters
would be like eating nothing but candy,
so we work to balance what we offer on
our stages to appeal to audiences of all
tastes. Enough Broadway for a while? How
about a night of music with the Hartford
Symphony Orchestra, or an always lively
and thought-provoking discussion offered
by The Connecticut Forum? This season at
The Bushnell is especially rich in its depth
and variety of offerings. And tickets make a
great gift -- as we head toward the holidays,
visit our revamped website, bushnell.
org, and take a look at the multitude of
entertainment we’ve got happening in our
halls. Blockbuster or not, there is sure to be
something of interest for almost everyone on
your gift list.
Thank you, as always, for visiting and
supporting The Bushnell. We truly appreciate
your time, interest, and generosity.

be presented.
Behind the Scenes
at The Bushnell
Bushnell tours are given by
appointment. Please call (860)
987-6033 to schedule a tour.
Café
Visit our café for a quick
bite before the show. The
café features soups, salads,
sandwiches, pastries and more.
The café is open one hour prior to
most shows.
In Case of an Emergency
Exits are indicated by signs
located above the theater
entrances. For your safety, please
check the location of the exit
nearest your seat. In the event
of an evacuation, Bushnell staff
and volunteers are available to
assist you.
Disruptive Behavior
Any patron who poses a health
or sanitary risk; disturbs other
patrons; causes damage to The
Bushnell property; or does not
cooperate with staff and security
personnel will be asked to leave
the venue.
Electronic Devices
Cellular phones, pagers and
other electronic devices should
be silenced prior to entering the
theater. Text messaging and the
use of other devices that cause
unnecessary light are prohibited
in the theater.
Late Arrival
Late seating will be at the
discretion of the production
company, and requires that late
audience members wait to enter
the theater until a designated
break in the performance.
For your convenience, closed
circuit televisions are located
in the lobbies.
End of Performance
For your safety and the safety
of your fellow patrons, please
do not leave your seat until the
house lights have been turned
on. Not only is it dark, but it is
inconsiderate to others, including
the performers.
Children
Everyone attending performances
at The Bushnell must have a
ticket, regardless of age. To
ensure optimum enjoyment for
all patrons, we recommend that
children under 5 only attend
shows in the Robinson & Cole

Children’s Theatre. The Bushnell
staff reserves the right to ask any
parents/guardians whose children
cause disruptions during a
performance to leave the theater.

please contact Customer Relations at (860) 987-6059.
