LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR & GRILL
MAY 17 - JUNE 30, 2024
Greer Cabaret Theater
The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. The audience is about to witness one of Billie Holiday’s last performances, given four months before her death. More than a dozen musical numbers are interlaced with salty and often humorous reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the lady and her music.
WEST SIDE STORY
JUNE 11-16, 2024
Benedum Center
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is transported to modern-day New York City as two young, idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the American Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.
THE COLOR PURPLE
JUNE 25-30, 2024
Benedum Center
This musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel (and the popular 1985 Steven Spielberg film) spotlights Celie, a downtrodden young woman whose personal awakening over the course of 40 years forms the arc of this epic story. With a joyous score featuring jazz, ragtime, gospel, and blues, THE COLOR PURPLE is a story of hope, a testament to the healing power of love, and a celebration of life.
THE MUSIC MAN
JULY 9-14, 2024
Benedum Center
THE MUSIC MAN follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
JULY 19-SEPTEMBER 1, 2024
Greer Cabaret Theater
From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation, THE PRODUCERS, comes this monster new musical comedy. The comedic genius, Mel Brooks, adapts his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation – YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN! Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick and a leggy lab assistant, Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.
SEUSSICAL
JULY 30-AUGUST 4, 2024
Byham Theater
Celebrate Theodor Seuss Geisel (AKA Dr. Seuss!)’s 120th Birthday with SEUSSICAL - a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners, Lynn Ahrens and Pittsburgh’s own Stephen Flaherty (ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, RAGTIME), have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. Seussical is fun for the whole family!
