The Broadway Theater League of Utica has a new name.

They've been rebranded as Broadway Utica with the tag line "Where Touring Broadway Begins."

Officals have also announced the lineup for the next season, which will feature four tech shows -- "Jersey Boys, "Bullets Over Broadway", "The Wizard of Oz" and "Once."

Executive Director John Fehlner says a tech show marks the first time the cast, crew and set for a Broadway touring production are together in one place.  Fehlner says the four tech shows will have an economic impact of $4 million to $6 million on Utica and the surrounding area.

The Stanley Theater and Broadway Utica have hosted seven tech shows since 2011.

Jersey Boys-- September 17, 18, 19, & 20, 2015 (Thursday, Friday, Saturday evening and Sunday matinee)
