The curtain will rise at the Benedum Center again after an intermission that lasted over a year.
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announced their PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh program will begin in October with The Band's Visit.
The show was playing at the Benedum Center in 2020 when it was interrupted by the pandemic.
“There is a poetry to starting where we left off, particularly given how this production rejoices in the way music makes us laugh, makes us cry, and ultimately, brings us together,” says Marc Fleming, Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Broadway Programming for the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. “More than half of the audience members who purchased tickets were unable to attend the show in 2020 due to the shutdown and we couldn’t be more excited to bring the show back to complete its run and raise the curtain again for Broadway in the Cultural District.”
The announcement comes after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's decision Wednesday to reopen Broadway in September.
