Rascal Flatts cancels Nutter Center show
The Rascal Flatts concert at the Ervin J. Nutter Center has been canceled.
Last week, the band postponed its Saturday, Feb. 6 concert, citing safety concerns after a Friday snowstorm. On Friday, Feb. 12 the group’s publicist announced the cancellation.
“The date did not play due to severe inclement weather and for the safety of the fans,” according to statement by Jessie Schmidt, a publicist for Rascal Flatts.
Then the statement said that those who purchased tickets can take the tickets back to the point of purchase for a refund.
Those who bought tickets at the Nutter Center can start turning tickets in for refund on Monday, Feb. 15 starting at 10 a.m., said Misty Cox, Nutter Center spokesperson.
Since there are no fees, those ticket purchasers will get a full refund.
Online purchasers from TicketMaster will see a section on the site to make the return. Fees are non-refundable.
Cox said she doesn’t know why Rascal Flatts chose not to reschedule a date.
“We didn’t really get a reason,” Cox said.
Last week a spokesperson said the concert would be rescheduled and the group was ‘working immediately to get a date’ for a performance.
In 2008, Rascal Flatts had to postpone a February concert to May due to illness.

‘Lion King’ coming to Dayton
By Terry Morris Staff Writer
“The Lion King” is coming.
The Victoria Theatre Association has announced a 2010-2011 Broadway Series that includes the Disney stage juggernaut.
The lineup also includes the first national tour of the musical ‘9 to 5.’
“Lion King,” by Elton John and Tim Rice, will be presented June 14 through July 10, 2011, at the Schuster Center.
Performance dates for “9 to 5,” the 2009 musical written by Dolly Parton, are Feb. 1 through Feb. 6, 2011.
Other attractions include: A brand new show from “Blue Man Group,” a return visit of the comedy “The Wonder Bread Years” and the musicals “The Drowsy Chaperone” and “All Shook Up.”
Only season subscriptions are on sale now. Single tickets will go on sale at a future date.
The Dayton market has waited a long time for “Lion King,” which is based on the 1994 Disney animation film of the same name. It opened on Broadway in 1997, won the ‘98 Tony and is still running in New York and London. At almost 5,100 performances, it is the ninth longest-running show in Broadway history.
In contrast, Dayton will be only the second stop for the new “Blue Man Group” show and will be among the first cities to get “9 to 5.”
“We want to have something in the series that draws new people to the theater,” said Ken Neufeld, president and CEO of the Victoria Theatre Association and Arts Center Foundation. “We’re seeing that with ‘Wicked,’ ” which opens Feb. 17 for the first time in Dayton. “We’re going to see that with ‘Lion King’ as well. It’s going to be fabulous at the Schuster Center.”
“Drowsy Chaperone,” a musical comedy that attracted a loyal following on Broadway, will be produced by The Human Race Theatre Company. “‘All Shook Up” is built around the songs of Elvis Presley.
The series sponsor will be Miami Valley and Good Samaritan hospitals. For season tickets or more information, call (937) 228-3630, toll free at (888) 228-3630 or go to www.ticketcenterstage.com.
