The season will conclude July 30–August 4 with the 2012 Tony-winning Best Musical Once, inspired by the film of the same name.
“Pittsburgh CLO’s 2019 Summer Season showcases a carefully-curated selection of Broadway favorites and contemporary hits designed to welcome audiences from across the region to enjoy world-class musical theater at an affordable price at the beautiful Benedum Center,” said Pittsburgh CLO Executive Producer Van Kaplan. “I am pleased to welcome my dear friend Betty Buckley and the National Tour of Hello, Dolly! direct from Broadway this coming year. Critics and audiences have embraced this production with great enthusiasm, and it is certain to sweep Pittsburgh off its feet. I am also proud to premiere productions of Once and Rock of Ages for the first time. In addition to perennial hit Grease and family-friendly Peter Pan—during which we look forward to introducing countless young people to the magic of live theater—Pittsburgh CLO will also showcase a stunning production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! As part of our ongoing commitment to revive musical theater classics, Oklahoma! will now live on through a new generation of theater-goers.”
