2022-2023 PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh Season Announced

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust will continue the tradition of bringing the best of Broadway directly to Pittsburgh through the 2022-2023 PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh Series. The touring Broadway shows coming to Pittsburgh this season include Frozen, Hadestown, Hairspray, Jagged Little Pill, Beetlejuice, Six, and Tina - The Tina Turner Musical. Season specials include Les Misérables and Dear Evan Hansen.

"We could not be more excited to welcome these incredible touring Broadway productions to the Benedum Center," says Marc Fleming, Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Broadway programming for the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. "In programming this season, I wanted to bring to the stage the same energy and excitement we've felt in reopening our Cultural District.

As the season was teased out on social media, our audiences have confirmed that there's truly a show for everyone this season. The line-up has Tony® Award-winning musicals alongside popular revivals. A strong theme that has emerged is one of female empowerment. From Six, which allows King Henry VIII's wives to tell their stories, to Hadestown's all-female creative team, to iconic leading ladies like Elsa, Tina Turner, and Tracy Turnblad - this season shines a light on women's voices and talent making such a massive impact on the Broadway industry."

Welcome to Hadestown, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today... and always.

Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales - that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone - as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell's beguiling melodies and Chavkin's poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.

Directed by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus (Waitress, Pippin, upcoming 1776) with a Tony-winning book by Diablo Cody (Juno) and Grammy-winning score, this electrifying production is about a perfectly imperfect American family.
