The Lied Center for Performing Arts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln proudly announces its 24th Season of world-class performing artists. The season includes 51 performances of 31 shows from a wide range of genres including Broadway, Classical Music, Dance, Theater, World & Jazz Music, Comedy, Holiday performances, Folk Music and shows for families.
The 2013-2014 Season presents the most in-demand artists in the world to Nebraska and opens in September with the return of Blue Man Group after their five sold-out Lied performances in 2011. Tony Award®-winning musicals Memphis, Hair and West Side Story join with ‘80s rock musical Rock of Ages to complete next season’s Broadway lineup. Many of the 2013-2014 performances will make their Nebraska debut at the Lied Center including I Love Lucy® Live On Stage based on the most beloved program in television history. Respected as one of the top two orchestras in America, The Cleveland Orchestra also makes their Nebraska debut performing a program highlighted by Tchaikovsky’s triumphant Symphony No. 5 and Martha Graham Dance Company will feature Graham’s masterpiece “Appalachian Spring” set to music by Aaron Copland. Additional highlights include Emmy Award winner Wayne Brady who regularly starred on ABC’s smash hit, Whose Line is it Anyway?, fourteen-time GRAMMY® Award-winning banjo player Béla Fleck and one of the largest touring Cirque productions in the world: Cirque Dreams Holidaze featuring amazing acrobatic skills and hundreds of spectacular costumes in a setting of colossal candy canes and 30-foot towering soldiers. The Lied Center and its programs are made possible through the generous 2012/2013 Season support of Ameritas, Friends of Lied and Union Bank.
