Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announces PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh season
“Moulin Rouge! The Musical” is the first show coming to the Benedum Center in Downtown Pittsburgh for Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh lineup for the 2023-24 season.
The shows were announced on Monday.
“Securing the finest Tony Award-winning shows from the Broadway stage to the Benedum Center as soon as possible is always a goal for us at the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust,” said Marc Fleming, chief marketing officer and vice-president of Broadway programming.
Complementing “Moulin Rouge! The Musical,” will be the pre-Broadway revival of “The Wiz,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” ‘Girl From The North Country,” “My Fair Lady,” “Company,” and “The Kite Runner.” “The Book of Mormon” and “Mamma Mia” will also return.
Fleming said the series is a “popular mix of must-see productions.”
Subscription packages for the series range from $250 to $835. Single tickets will go on sale throughout the year.
