SOCK IT TO 'EM!
Tickets are on sale for KINKY BOOTS playing at Thalian Hall from December 30 -January 15. Based on true events, this huge-hearted hit tells the story of two people with nothing in common — or so they think. Charlie is a factory owner struggling to save his family business. Lola is a fabulous entertainer with a wildly exciting idea. With a little compassion and a lot of understanding, this unexpected pair learns to embrace their differences and creates a line of sturdy stilettos unlike any the world has ever seen! But in the end, their most sensational achievement is their friendship.
Don't miss your chance to see this ~fabulous~ production - or you might get a swift punch from Lola! Tickets at www.OperaHouseTheatreCompany.org.
Maybe between these three, Charlie might have the ability to complete a stable stiletto that will support a drag queen! 👠 Find out at KINKY BOOTS!

We are heartbroken to say that our long time friend and former musical director, Lorene Walsh has passed away. Lorene conducted and played piano for countless shows at Opera House for more than 14 years. In that time, she kept dozens of bands coordinated, taught many actors how to sing, and in a handful of 1776 productions- caught up on her reading. She shared so much with our Wilmington Theatre Community playing for shows and special events not only for Opera House but also several other theatre organizations when she wasn’t, as Ron Chisolm would put it, “working for Jesus.” We are happy to remember her for many things; her love of Alfie Boe, her Springer Spaniels, her fierce friendship and incredible love for music. We also wanted to share her wonderful performance from 2019’s Showstoppers when she gave us this gorgeous performance of “How Great Thou Art.”
The countdown is on! Every hour, we’ll announce a show from our upcoming season, finishing up with our New Year’s Eve gala show! We are so excited to get back to a full season. . . For everyone with a 2020 season ticket, we will begin working on processing roll-overs this coming week. Season tickets packages will go on sale soon!!
