Pittsburgh Musical Theater has announced its 2026-2027 season, with performances at the Gargaro Theater, Byham Theater, and West End Canopy.
“This season is an invitation, not just to see a show, but to experience the extraordinary power of live theater to bring people together,” said Colleen Doyno, Executive Director of PMT.
PMT’s season includes works with academy students and introduces Broadway Seniors, an edition of Into the Woods with a cast of adults 50+.
“Every production has been carefully chosen to inspire laughter, ignite imagination, celebrate tradition, and tell stories that stay with us long after the final curtain call,” Doyno said. From the excitement of Evil Dead The Musical and the wonder of Matilda, to the adventure and heart of How to Train Your Dragon JR., the timeless beauty of A Lyrical Christmas Carol, the epic passion of Miss Saigon, the joy of our new program with the Broadway Senior show Into the Woods SR., and the unforgettable music of Million Dollar Quartet, there is truly something for everyone.”
