About Season
The 2023/2024 Taco/The White Family Foundation Broadway Series kicks off with the “sparkling and explosively entertaining” (The Observer) FUNNY GIRL (September 9 – 16, 2023), followed by the “feel-good, family-friendly musical comedy” (The Hollywood Reporter) MRS. DOUBTFIRE. The ten-time Tony Award-winning Best Musical MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL brings Baz Luhrmann’s iconic film to life on stage, celebrating Truth, Beauty, Freedom and – above all – LOVE (December 19 – 31, 2023; a two-week engagement).
Declared “one of the greatest plays in history” by NPR, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel (February 6 – 11, 2024). Disney’s FROZEN features the songs you know and love from the Oscar-winning film, with stunning sets and costumes (March 7 – 17, 2024; a two-week engagement). The revival of Stephen Sondheim’s and George Furth’s musical comedy COMPANY is the winner of five 2022 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Revival (April 23 – 28, 2024).
Three highly anticipated return engagements comprise PPAC’s 2023/2024 Encore Series. Cox Media is the Encore Series media sponsor. The New York Times calls it “the best musical of this century;” the nine-time Tony Award winning Best Musical THE BOOK OF MORMON returns by popular demand (October 31 – November 5, 2023). Dr. Seuss’ THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL, sponsored by Navigant Credit Union, is a family-friendly holiday treat for “Whos” of all ages (November 28 – December 3, 2023; ten total performances). AIN’T TOO PROUD – The Life and Times of The Temptations has been called “a force almost as irresistible as any of The Temptations’ greatest hits” by The Los Angeles Times; the smash hit on Broadway and across America makes a triumphant return to PPAC (January 23 – 28, 2024).
