Mark Frie, CEO of the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, remarked that this acquisition would bolster Tulsa's standing in the Broadway touring market, especially in the wake of the pandemic.

Despite the change in ownership, Dotson reassured the community that Celebrity Attractions will continue its dedication to providing outstanding customer experiences in Tulsa.

Celebrity Attractions was founded in 1983 by Larry Payton, who passed away in 2013, after which his family managed the company until its recent sale to ATG.

Celebrity Attractions, a prominent entertainment company in Tulsa renowned for hosting Broadway shows, has been acquired by the London-based Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG).

Kristin Dotson, who has served as CEO of Celebrity Attractions for three decades, expressed her enthusiasm about the acquisition, emphasizing the potential for improved support and resources following the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With a rich history spanning 40 years, Celebrity Attractions has been responsible for bringing major Broadway productions like Chicago, Hamilton, Wicked, and Disney's The Lion King to the Tulsa Performing Arts Center.
