SEASON PREVIEW

2023 - 2024

We’re in for another thrilling run of Broadway hits!

PNC Broadway in Louisville’s 2023-24 season is loaded with five premieres and the longawaited return of worldwide sensation, Wicked, which kicks off the series in the fall.

It’s followed by TINA – The Tina Turner Musical, which tells the inspiring story of a woman who broke barriers and became the Queen of Rock n’ Roll. Set to the pulse-pounding soundtrack of Turner’s most beloved hits, this electrifying tribute will send you soaring to the rafters.

In winter 2024, an unforgettable theatrical experience filled with spectacular special effects, stunning sets and costumes, and powerhouse performances, Disney’s Frozen will play for two weeks at The Kentucky Center. Next up is a truly hilarious whodunnit, Clue, based on the cult 1985 Paramount movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game. Then, the six wives of Henry VIII will take the microphone to remix 500 years of historical heartbreak into a euphoric celebration of 21st century girl power when SIX rules the stage next spring. The incredible season will conclude with the smash hit Beetlejuice, a musical comedy about making the most of every “Day-O.”

There really is a show for everyone and plenty of family-friendly options.”

Wicked

September 20 – October 8, 2023

So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. Wicked, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz, but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emeraldgreen skin — smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships — until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”

From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, Wicked — the untold true story of the Witches of Oz — transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story that USA Today cheers is “a complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry, and think.”

Tina The Tina Turner Musical

November 28 – December 3, 2023

There is only one Tina, Her voice is undeniable. Her fire, unstoppable. And her triumph is like no other.

An uplifting comeback story like no other, TINA – The Tina Turner Musical is the inspiring journey of one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time. With 12 Grammy Awards, Turner’s live shows have been seen by millions, with more concert tickets sold than any other solo performer in music history.

Featuring her much-loved songs, TINA – The Tina Turner Musical is written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Katori Hall and directed by the internationally acclaimed Phyllida Lloyd.

DISNEY’S FROZEN

January 24 – February 4, 2024

From the producer of The Lion King and Aladdin, the Tonynominated Best Musical, Frozen is now on tour across North America.

The critics rave, “It’s simply magical!” (L.A. Daily News). Heralded by The New Yorker as “thrilling” and “genuinely moving,” Frozen features the songs you know and love from the original Oscar-winning film, plus an expanded score with a dozen new numbers by the film’s songwriters, Oscar winner Kristen Anderson-Lopez and EGOT winner Robert Lopez.

Oscar winner Jennifer Lee (book), Tony and Olivier Award winner Michael Grandage (director), and Tony winner Rob Ashford (choreographer) round out the creative team that has won a cumulative 16 Tony Awards.

Frozen is everything you want in a musical: It’s moving. It’s spectacular. And above all, it’s pure Broadway joy.

Clue

March 5 – 10, 2024

Murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget! Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench?

Based on the movie and board game of the same name, Clue is the ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist.

Six

April 9 – 14, 2024

From Tudor Queens to Pop Icons, the six wives of Henry VIII take the stage in this new, original musical that’s the global sensation everyone is losing their head over!

SIX won 23 awards in the 2021-22 Broadway season, including the Tony Award for Best Original Score (Music and Lyrics) and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical.

The New York Times says SIX “totally rules!” (Critic's Pick) and The Washington Post hails SIX as “Exactly the kind of energizing, inspirational illumination this town aches for!"

The SIX: Live on Opening Night Broadway album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard cast album charts and surpassed 6 million streams in its first month.

Beetlejuice

May 14 – 19, 2024

It’s showtime! He earned his stripes on Broadway, and now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to Louisville!

Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes.

With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, Beetlejuice is “screamingly good fun!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every “Day-O!”
