JT Hodges
We sat down with country singer and actor JT Hodges to discuss what it’s been like to work on a brand new musical. Part of the Plan premieres here at TPAC September 8-24.
Q: How did you get involved with Part of the Plan?
JT: I got involved with Part of the Plan through a fellow songwriter friend of mine who happened to be looking for someone to cast from Nashville for a role. I auditioned and got a call from someone at TPAC, I came in and read a scene and played a little Cat Stevens medley. After the reading they offered me the role and now here I am!
Q: Have you ever done a Broadway style musical before?
JT: I did a musical in high school where I basically got to play myself. I was Conrad Birdie in Bye, Bye, Birdie. It was a lot of fun and pretty awesome. Although it was a non-alcoholic Old Milwaukee beer I did get to chug it onstage at a high school musical which was kinda cool.
Q: What do you think of the show premiering in Nashville?
JT: I think the show premiering in Nashville is awesome. This has been my home for the past seven years now. Songwriting is the backbone of this town and Dan Fogelberg is obviously a phenomenal songwriter, he wrote his single Part of the Plan here in Nashville so I think it’s great.
Q: Who would you recommend to come and see the show?
JT: I would recommend all of Nashville, I’m still trying to decide if my 6-year-old and 4-year-old are ready for it. It might be 12 and up. If my 6-year-old sees me kissing Rebecca onstage she might get a little sad. The script is incredible. It’s a period piece and I think everyone can relate to it. I met a kid 13 years old that’s been playing the guitar, all the stuff he’s learning is Led Zeppelin and The Doors. It’s an era that not just people who lived in it are fascinated by. Anyone can relate to this.
Q: What do you hope audiences take away from Part of the Plan?
JT: I think viewers are going to take away that we all have struggles in our life; things that we think shouldn’t happen at that moment do happen. As much as we want to fight it, it tends to be, for lack of a better word, all Part of the Plan.

It means you’ll be unable to see the entire stage from those seats.
We sell these seats because for many fans the limited view is not a problem, and the tickets are clearly labeled at time of purchase (see photo below). Limited view seating varies event to event and could be something as small as a tiny corner of the stage being blocked from view. Call our box office at 615-782-4040 for additional information on limited view seating.
Seats marked with “Limited View” during purchase path
Many shows impose ticket limits to allow as many people as possible to have equal access to seats. This is done as a deterrent to third party vendors, i.e. scalpers, who may purchase large blocks of seats and then resell them online at an inflated cost. The term “household” refers to any shared information on one or more accounts. This includes, but may not be limited to matching names, mailing and billing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and credit card numbers. Any households that purchase more than the allowed number of tickets may have their order(s) refunded without notice.
