season, reinforcing our shared commitment to expanding access to world-class

In the last few weeks, GMGP has been
teasing its followers and local theater fans with its upcoming 2025 roster of
shows. On January 17, GMG premiered a teaser video during the Wicked
Singalong, much to the crowd’s delight—and fearless forecasts.
The first two in the year’s lineup were
already announced in the past weeks, confirming everyone’s guesses from the
teaser video: Tony Award-winning musicals Come From Away and Dear
Evan Hansen.
Come From Away will take the stage this June at the Samsung Performing Arts Theatre.
UnionBank Credit and Debit Cardholders enjoyed exclusive early access to tickets
plus a 15% discount during the pre-sale period from February 18 to 20, 2025.
Dear Even Hansen, on the other hand, will be held at The Theatre at Solaire, and
UnionBank Cardholders will again be able to access tickets earlier with a 10%
discount during the exclusive UnionBank pre-sale from April 8 to 11, 2025.
This
much-anticipated hit musical is about Evan Hansen, a high-school senior
struggling with social anxiety, and his journey of self-discovery and
acceptance after a tragic event in school.
