Just last week, Stage Entertainment, James L. Nederlander and Tali Pelman, in association with Tina Turner, have announced that Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief, Vogue U.S.; U.S. Artistic Director and Global Content Advisor, Condé Nast co-hosted a cocktail reception alongside Fashion Model & Activist Adut Akech, Fashion Model Cindy Bruna, Writer/Director & Activist Janet Mock (“Pose”), Super Model & Activist Joan Smalls and Actor & Activist Yara Shahidi (“Grown-ish”) followed by a special performance of Broadway's TINA – THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL to benefit RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization.

Pittsburgh CLO's exclusive engagement of the hit musical comedy THE BOOK OF MERMAN, part of the Pittsburgh CLO Kara Cabaret Series at the Greer Cabaret Theater, runs January 30 – March 8, 2020. Don't miss this incredibly original hit fresh from its side-splitting Off-Broadway run!

'Even if you haven't seen HAMILTON, you can still have a wonderful time at our show.'

Pittsburgh CLO is celebrating the 15th season of the CLO Cabaret with the first show ever performed at the venue – FOREVER PLAID! This show is just as perfect a fit for the unique Cabaret space now as it was in the Cabeinaugural season. This New York musical comedy hit is the deliciously funny and charming story of “The Plaids,” a classic 1950s all-male singing group, who were killed in a car crash on their way to their first big gig!

I won't grow up! And I don't have to watching the CLO's production of Peter Pan. The timeless musical brings all of the whimsy and adventure to life on stage, but the magic of this performance does not come just with the story; talented actors and a renowned choreographer/director take this production to new heights.

'It's got groove; it's got meaning. Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion.' For the Pittsburgh CLO, the star-studded cast of Greaserocks the Benedum and sets the tone for a riveting summer season. With Broadway and television actors flooding the stage, the musical has proven to be a shoo-be doo-wop she-bop good time.

Pittsburgh CLO will fill the Benedum Center with the sock-hop sounds of the original high school musical, GREASE, June 7 - 16.

Three contestants risk it all to win a record-setting $10 million jackpot. Inspired by primetime game shows that make every viewer feel like they're in the hot seat, GAME ON is a one-of-a-kind WORLD PREMIERE musical that will have your blood pumping with every twist and turn.

Pittsburgh CLO brings Lerner and Loewe's BRIGADOON from the Scottish Highlands to the Benedum Center stage July 17 - 22. As part of its ongoing mission to celebrate musical theater, Pittsburgh CLO often revives classics, thus introducing new audiences to the masterpieces of Broadway's golden age.

Before there was Magic Mike, there was The Full Monty. Based off the 1997 British film of the same name, The Full Monty debuted as a Broadway musical in 2000 and revealed just how far and how bare six unemployed men were willing to go to earn money again.

Pittsburgh CLO's THE FULL MONTY will take it all off at the Benedum Center this summer July 6 - 15.

Pittsburgh CLO's THE FULL MONTY will take it all off at the Benedum Center this summer July 6 - 15. With a book written by Terrence McNally (Ragtime) and the music/ lyric talents of David Yazbek (The Band's Visit, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Women On The Verge of a Nervous Breakdown), this duo cooks up an aggressive crowd-pleaser that is both highly-entertaining and charmingly uplifting.

Take a trip back to the 80s, where Australian accents abounded in California and Greek muses littered the earth; where short shorts and cross dressing was the norm; and where Sonny Malone is inspired to create the greatest roller disco since antiquity.
