American Music Theatre is honored to be recognized as American Bus Association’s (ABA) 2016 “Best Theatre Obsessed with Customer Service” in Destinations’ latest issue!

In the September-October issue of ABA’s Destinations magazine, a special section — the “Best of the Best Editor’s Pick” — showcases the best of the best across eight different categories of travel suppliers: hotel/lodging, restaurant/dining, shopping venue, theater, museum, casino/gaming, attraction, and events.

Our Groups department, House staff, and everyone else within AMT work hard to give our guests the best experience possible, and we’re honored to be recognized for doing just that.

American Music Theatre has been a member of ABA for many years. ABA serves an industry that provides more than 600 million passenger trips annually on charters, tours, scheduled service, and shuttles. Membership in ABA includes motorcoach operators, tour operators, tourism-related organizations (like AMT,) and products and service suppliers.

We thank the American Bus Association for this recognition, and look forward to hosting many more guests who visit AMT through their efforts. We’ll work hard to repeat the honor again next year!

Here are nine just announced shows to add to next year’s calendar, including four coming to AMT for the very first time!
