This is a survey course for the person who wants to know what’s buzzing on Broadway for the 2024 season and what shows coming to Pittsburgh are worth seeing. Classes will revolve around reviews, trailers, and insider comments. With ticket prices at the highest level in history, it is best to do a bit of reconnaissance to inform one’s decisions. Promising shows for the upcoming season include Water for Elephants, a revival of The Who’s Tommy and The Great Gatsby. Pittsburgh is likely to see & Juliet, MJ the Musical, and Hamilton.
This course will meet online October 16, 23, 30, November 6, and 13.
