JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Officials with Broadway Jackson announced the 2024-25 season at Thalia Mara Hall has been canceled.

“With no other venue capable of hosting our Direct from Broadway shows in the State of Mississippi, six of our seven season events will be cancelled. We will immediately begin booking the Broadway in Jackson 2025-2026 season, but commit to only present events when we are confident that Thalia Mara Hall is safe for you, our touring artists, and theater technicians,” officials said.

In early August, the city was forced to close Thalia Mara Hall after “early microbial activity” was discovered following a recent malfunction with the HVAC controller in the facility.

According to the report by the State Fire Marshal’s Office (SFMO), mold was found in the facility, and human waste was found on the balcony. The report also found that some fire extinguishers were not up to date. The city submitted an action plan to fix the issues found in the report.

According to Broadway Jackson, they will be able to bring some holiday cheer this year with Mannheim Steamroller Christmas, now scheduled to appear at the Mississippi Coliseum on Friday, December 27. Season ticket holders will receive priority access to their emails.

All patrons who renewed their season tickets will receive a full and immediate refund to the card they used to purchase. It could take 10 to 15 days for the refund to show up in their credit card statement.
