The mainstage at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall presents a wide variety of more than 120 performances, including the biggest lineup ever of Broadway musicals, several Van Wezel debuts and return engagements by some of Sarasota's favorite stars. The schedule carries on the long-standing tradition of creating many memorable moments at the Van Wezel. There is cause to celebrate both this season's offerings and the programs that have been presented over our first 31 years. The Van Wezel has come a long way since 1970, when "Fiddler on the Roof" was our first performance. Since then, many local, regional, national and international artists and attractions have graced our stage: Luciano Pavarotti, Leonard Bernstein, Bob Dylan, Cary Grant, Gregory Peck, Rudolf Nureyev, The Boston Pops, The Chicago Symphony, Willie Nelson, Vladimir Horowitz, Dizzy Gillespie, The Temptations and a very long list of Broadway, children's and family shows. You have our commitment that we will strive to continue to bring these kinds of memorable performances in the future.
