Broadway Theatre League is located in the VBC down the hall from the Concert Hall, between the Concert hall and Playhouse. To visit us, park in the main VBC Ticket Office parking lot on Monroe Street. After entering the main doors, turn right and we are past the Concert Hall, at the end of the hallway on the right.

We are open Monday – Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and our lunch hour is between 12:00 & 1:00. If you arrive during lunch, we won’t turn you away, but we may ask you to hold our sandwich while we look for your perfect seats. BTL is closed on Federal Holidays and most Mondays after a show weekend.

On the day of each BTL performance, the Concert Hall Box Office will be open one hour prior to each performance time to pick up any WILL CALL tickets or to purchase tickets.

On performance days, please visit the Main Box Office in the VBC Lobby instead of our offices to purchase tickets. We are a small office and our staff often spends most of Friday preparing for the show. 

We are also in and out of the office to answer phones during show weekends, please give us a call at 256-518-6155 if you need anything. If we do not answer right away, please leave a message and we will return your call ASAP. We check messages on show weekend.

The Main VBC Box Office located inside the VBC at the Monroe Street entrance is open Monday – Friday; 10am – 5pm.   BTL event tickets can be purchased at the VBC Box Office. The VBC Box Office is also open two hours prior to large events.

Please call us at 256-518-6155 for available discount options for upcoming shows. We also offer discounts for groups of 10 of more for most shows and performances.

ALL children, regardless of age, even babies in laps, who attend any of our shows must have a ticket and preferably be seated in their seat for the entire performance; you are welcome to bring a booster seat. There are also a limited booster seats available at the Coat Check Counter in the Concert Hall.

Most children (besides babies) should not be seated in your lap because it blocks the view of the patron behind you.

“Is this show appropriate for children?” is a question BTL patrons often ask.

Unlike movies, which are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America and an independent group of parents, live productions have no official rating system. Instead, advisories regarding language, sexual references/ activity, the use of drugs, alcohol and tobacco, violence, and even the use of strobe lights and fog machines are issued to help parents decide if a show is appropriate for their child.

Because each family has its own set of values, beliefs and child-rearing practices, it is the responsibility of parents to research a show’s content and then decide if it is appropriate for their child. Dozens of show reviews, many written by parents of children and teenagers, can easily be found online. Simply enter the show’s name in your computer’s search engine and follow links.

Information about suitability of a show, if available, can be found at each show’s event page on our website.  Information provided by BTL by phone are developed from our review of each show, material provided by each show and reviews from other venues.

Broadway Theatre League has no specific dress code for attending performances. Dress varies widely from casual to suits and dresses. Gone are the days when formal-wear and ball gowns were the norm; we do, however, encourage you to use your theatre date as an occasion to dress up if you would like.

Broadway Theatre League depends on our wonderful BTL Greeters and Ushers. This is a trained volunteer position. To learn more about our Usher program, visit our BTL Volunteer Page.

Besides Ushers and Greeters, we do not have any other volunteer opportunities. We often get asked about volunteering with our touring shows behind the scenes, but the shows have their own crew and we cannot offer any volunteer opportunities to work with them. For specific questions, please contact us.

Broadway Theatre League is known in the industry as a presenter, which simply means we have purchased a professional touring production from a New York agent representing a particular show. Because the shows we purchase are nationally touring, you’ll have to head to New York for an audition. If you do make it, let us know so we can throw a cast party for you when your show hits Huntsville. We wish you luck…. or shall we say, break a leg!

All ticket sales are final and we do not offer refunds. We hope that you are able to find a way to make use of your tickets. We cannot provide resale assistance for our tickets.

EXCEPTION: If a show has been rescheduled or canceled in Spring 2020 due to COVID-19 (Escape to Margaritaville, The Color Purple, RAIN, Choir of Man), please visit our Rescheduled/ Canceled Show Page for more information. If you can’t find the information you’re looking for, please contact us.

We strive to make your theatre experience one that you will positively remember! Please let us know if we have accomplished that for you. We’d love to hear from you about a show you enjoyed this season or from a season of the past. We especially like hearing how well our staff is doing!
