Saratoga Springs: Universal Preservation Hall Announces a Wedding, Taylor Swift Dance Party and One of the Country’s Most Popular Folk Bands

Universal Preservation Hall is announcing three new shows coming to the Great Hall in early 2024. 

2024 is kicking off with a wedding at UPH! “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding” is a one-of-a-kind night theatrical experience like no other, coming to the Great Hall Thursday, Jan 18- Sunday, Jan. 21 for six performances. Everyone is a welcome guest at the ceremony and reception, there’s real food, real dance, and real mingling with the cast of lovable characters. It’s an Off-Broadway comedy staged as a festive celebration in which the audience doesn’t just watch the show but participates directly in the fun as members of the family or friends of the bride and groom.

It’s time to enter a laser dance party era with the “Taylor Swift Laser Dance Party.” A place for Swifties to grab their friendship bracelets and sparkly outfits and join in the Great Hall 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 27 for a two-hour Taylor Swift live DJ set with a national touring laser light show. 

Over the course of their notable career, Canadian group Leahy has secured a place as one of the country’s most highly regarded progressive folk-roots bands. Leahy will be in the Great Hall 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 15. The “Leahy sound” – a combination of strong stride piano, driving rhythm guitar, unique bass lines and layered with a contemporary drumming style – was the foundation from which wildly talented fiddle led instrumentals and vocals were launched to mainstream music listeners. For Leahy there are no boundaries – the band’s genuine love of such a diverse range of music fuels their uncompromising creativity and, by refusing to be bound to the conventions of any one genre, they have forged a truly distinctive reputation.

Tickets are available through the Box Office at Proctors in-person, via phone at (518) 346-6204 Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m. or online at universalpreservationhall.org. Groups of 10 or more can get their tickets by calling (518) 382-3884 ext. 139.
