FUNNY GIRL, MAMMA MIA!, and More Set For Peace Center's 2023-24 Broadway Season

The Peace Center unveiled its 2023-2024 Broadway season sponsored by Gibbs Cancer Center and the lineup is like a parade of the biggest names in modern music history. From its sensational start with the song and dance spectacular MJ all the way to its vivacious finale with MAMMA MIA!, this Peace Broadway season promises to have audiences leaping to their feet!

"The musical genres represented in this Broadway Season lineup have such broad appeal I believe we're going to have more people attending their first Broadway show than in any other season in our history," predicted Peace Center President and CEO Megan Riegel. "To top it off, most of the shows have never played at the Peace Center so even our most loyal Broadway season subscribers will be thrilled with this incredible lineup."

The season kicks off with Broadway's multi-Tony Award-winning new show of the season: MJ, the hit musical sensation that explores the creative mind and collaborative spirit of the legendary artist, Michael Jackson. Other award-winning hits include the 2022 Tony Award winners for Best Revival of a Musical (Company) and Best Orchestrations (Girl from the North Country). With a total of ten feel-good titles, there is truly something for everybody.

Details of the complete 2023-2024 Peace Broadway Season follow.

MJ

September 19-24, 2023

The music. The moves. The icon. Now, the unparalleled artistry of the greatest entertainer of all time comes to the Peace Center as MJ, the multi-Tony Award winning new musical centered around the making of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour, begins a tour of its own. Created by Tony Award-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and Signature Sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status. MJ is startin' somethin' as it makes its South Carolina premiere at the Peace Center this September.

Funny Girl

October 31-November 5, 2023

WELCOME TO MUSICAL COMEDY HEAVEN!

Featuring one of the most iconic scores of all time by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, an updated book from Harvey Fierstein based on the original classic by Isobel Lennart, tap choreography by Ayodele Casel, choreography by Ellenore Scott, and direction from Michael Mayer, this love letter to the theatre has the whole shebang!

The sensational Broadway revival dazzles with celebrated classic songs, including "Don't Rain on My Parade," "I'm the Greatest Star," and "People." This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she'd never be a star, but then something funny happened-she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.

The Wiz

November 21-26, 2023

Producers Kristin Caskey, Mike Isaacson, Brian Anthony Moreland, and Ambassador Theatre Group present an all-new production of the groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical The Wiz, adapted from The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The highly anticipated Broadway revival of The Wiz returns "home" to stages across America in an all-new Pre-Broadway tour, the first one in 40 years. The tour begins in The Wiz's original home city of Baltimore, where the show made its world premiere 50 years ago.

This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz changed the face of Broadway-from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and finger-snapping '70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy's journey to find her place in a contemporary world. Audiences get to enjoy the epic grooves of such beloved, timeless hits as "Ease on Down the Road," which became the show's break-out single, and the bona fide classic "Home" in this spectacular revival.
