Toddmeredith2 Todd Meredith as Buddy Holly

Between 1957 and 1959, one man changed popular music forever. This is his story. Join us for a rock and roll musical review with over 25 songs recreating the magic of Buddy Holly. The incredible legacy of the young man with glasses, whose musical career spanned an all-to-brief period during the golden days of rock’ n’ roll. Holly is described as "The single most influential creative force in early rock and roll."

Years later in 1971 Don McLean released his single, "American Pie", to commemorate Buddy Holly's death and further accentuate the loss of the United States' innocence. Don McLean's song began with the reference to the tragedy as "The Day the Music Died".

We want you to decide what our traditional summer family show is going to be. Starting in January, we’ll give you three titles to choose from, and you can cast your vote on our website, our Facebook site and in the theatre. Stay tuned for more information – but if it’s anything like Willy Wonka in 2011, plan on spending your summer having a blast at the Alhambra!

“Sure to be one of the most popular productions this summer and with darned good reason,” is what Virginia’s Tri-City News said this May when this show opened in Abingdon. We think you’ll love it, too! Jason Petty has won critical acclaim all over the country for his surreal performance as country legend Hank Williams in the off-Broadway hit Hank Williams’ “Lost Highway". So much so that his performance racked up 5 nominations in New York’s award ceremonies for Best Actor. Now, this multi-talented singer/actor/musician is bringing his own tribute show out on the road backed by a swinging four-piece band, Hank Williams tribute artist Jason Petty. This show will make you smile, make you cry, and make you clap your hands and stomp your feet in excitement. We will take you back in time to the beginnings of country music with one of its legends. Combine that with a respectful telling of Williams’ tragic and to-short life story, and you’ll love country music – any music – more than ever.

August 29 - October 7

With 18 motion pictures to her credit and a host of TV shows, including her most famous role as Shirley in Laverne & Shirley, we’re bringing Cindy Williams to the Alhambra stage in the lead role in a romantic comedy about a marriage and a dog. The husband, Greg, finds an abandoned dog in the park, takes her home and names her Sylvia. When the wife, Kate (Ms. Williams) returns home, she quickly finds she has been relegated to the back seat as Sylvia becomes the new love of Greg’s life. Man’s best friend is not always the wife’s best friend, and so the battle begins. This is a laugh out-loud comedy that will have you rolling in laughter.

Don’t take it from us, the NY Times said, “Dramatic literature is stuffed with memorable love scenes. But none is as immediately delicious and dizzy as the one that begins the redeeming affair in A. R. Gurney's comedy, "Sylvia."

This mesmerizing Phantom transforms Gaston Leroux' The Phantom of the Opera into a mystery that enraptures audiences with beautiful songs and an expertly crafted book. Phantom goes behind the mask of the great opera ghost and exposes the mysteries of his passions. Where did the phantom come from? Why is he destined to haunt the opera? What makes his relationship with the young soprano Christine the romance to end all? Based on the 1910 novel “Phantom of the Opera” Yeston and Kopits “Phantom” offers a different twist by beginning the story earlier in his life of the phantom, introducing his father into the plot as a character and other turns along the way. This is a story about Christine, a street singer and Erik the Phantom, who eventually falls in love with her.

For more than 20 years, the Alhambra has been Jacksonville’s home-grown Christmas Tradition. The tradition continues with our production of “White Christmas!”

After leaving the Army after W.W.II Bob Wallace and Phil Davis team up to become a top song -and-dance act. Davis plays matchmaker and introduces Wallace to a pair of beautiful sisters (Betty and Judy) who also have a song-and-dance act. When Betty and Judy travel to aVermont lodge to perform a Christmas show, Wallace and Davis follow, only to find their former commander, General Waverly, is the lodge owner. A series of romantic mix-ups ensue as the performers try to help the General. With classic songs "White Christmas" and "Baby its cold outside"
