Broadway Quality, Affordable Prices

by Doug Hughes, Marketing Director

Doug HughesIf you’ve been dreaming of seeing The Sound of Music, you have two options in the coming year: wait until mid-2026 and pay over $100 per person to nab good seats for a touring production—or experience the magic much sooner, for a fraction of the cost, at South Bay Musical Theatre, your premier amateur musical theatre arts company in the South Bay.

From Sept. 27 to Oct. 18, 2025, SBMT brings The Sound of Music to the intimate Saratoga Civic Theater. With just 298 seats and only 13 rows, every spot offers a close-up view of the stage. Compare that to the cavernous Center for the Performing Arts, where the 13th row center costs $94—and the nearest parking can run another $20 or more. At SBMT, our best seats are just $59, parking that is mere steps from the door is 100% free, and seniors and students pay even less.

What’s more, SBMT subscribers enjoy unmatched flexibility: if a conflict arises, you can exchange your tickets for another date with just 24 hours’ notice and no “handling fees.” Subscribers to all three mainstage shows also save up to 25% over the cost of single tickets—and can purchase add-on tickets for friends at the same discount.

And when it comes to quality and convenience? Our audiences say it best:

  • “It was fabulous! I felt like I was at a NY Broadway hit.” — Sandy H. on Brigadoon (2025)
  • “The tap dancers were just as good as what I’ve seen on  Broadway.” — Bette E. on No, No, Nanette (2024)
  • “The small theater is great, and being able to park so close was super.” — Sue and Greg H. on Mary Poppins (2024)
  • “Comparable to a Broadway show in NYC. Glad we didn’t have to travel all the way to New York to see this masterpiece.”  — Jian Y.  on Company (2022)
  • “The production was completely professional with a cast that measures up to Broadway!” — Susan H. on Les Misérables (2013)
  • “As good as any New York production.” — Irwin Z.. on Big River (2019)
