Mystic Pizza at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts

A new musical you’ll love at first slice!

Based on the classic 1988 rom-com that launched the career of Julia Roberts, Mystic Pizza is a new musical about three working-class girls who navigate the complexities of life, love, and family in a small-town pizza joint. The infectious score features mega-hits of the 80s and 90s, from “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” and “Addicted to Love,” to “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now,” “Take My Breath Away,” and many more!

Adapted from the film from MGM and screenwriter Amy Holden Jones by Sandy Rustin, with arrangements and orchestrations by Carmel Dean, choreographed by Connor Gallagher, and directed by Casey Hushion—this instant classic is in its pre-Broadway run, taking American theaters back in time with songs from Cyndi Lauper, Pat Benatar, Rick Astley, John Cougar Mellencamp, among others.

“A charming, light-hearted story… and a string of 1980s tunes that will have you reminiscing about big hair, neon colors, and shoulder pads.” – Broadway World
