TAMPA, Fla. — Broadway is back in full swing at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts.
Beginning in November, an eight-show series will return to the stage in Tampa with two "special return engagements."
The 2022-2023 lineup packs some big hitters with Wicked, Chicago, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and Hamilton set to dazzle Tampa Bay area theater-lovers.
“Touring Broadway is back in Tampa in a big, big way,” said Straz Center President and CEO Judy Lisi. “We’ve got an astonishing season planned that includes audience favorites, award winners, R&B, rock & roll and a couple of shows that were originally announced for the 2020-2021 slate and postponed due to the pandemic."
Here's when each show will take the stage:
Six: Nov. 1 to Nov. 6, 2022
Hadestown: Nov. 29 to Dec. 4, 2022
Tina- The Tina Turner Musical: Jan. 31 to Feb. 5, 2023
Chicago: Feb. 21 to Feb. 26, 2023
Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird: April 11 to April 16, 2023
Ain't Too Proud: May 2 to May 7, 2023
Jagged Little Pill: May 16 to May 21, 2023
Shear Madness: Feb. 15 to April 8, 2023
Hamilton: Dec. 28, 2022 to Jan. 22, 2023
Wicked: March 8 to March 26, 2023
“This line-up truly is the best of Broadway, and we can’t wait to share it with Tampa Bay area audiences," Lisi said.
