Detailed Information for Truist Broadway’s New Season
Disney’s FROZEN: September 14 – October 2, 2022
From the producer of The Lion King and Aladdin, FROZEN, the Tony®-nominated Best Musical, is now on tour
across North America, and the critics rave, “It’s simply magical!” (LA Daily News). FROZEN features the songs
you love from the original Oscar®-winning film, plus an expanded score with a dozen new numbers.
An unforgettable theatrical experience filled with sensational special effects, stunning sets and costumes, and
powerhouse performances, FROZEN is everything you want in a musical: It’s moving. It’s spectacular. And
above all, it’s pure Broadway joy.
ANNIE: October 18-23, 2022
Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot
of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of
theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set
to return in a new production – just as you remember it and just when we need it most.
ANNIE, directed by Jenn Thompson, features the iconic book and score, written by Tony Award®-winners
Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin. This celebration of family, optimism and the American
spirit remains the ultimate cure for all the hard knocks life throws your way.
HAIRSPRAY: November 15-20, 2022
You Can’t Stop the Beat! HAIRSPRAY, Broadway’s Tony Award®-winning musical comedy phenomenon is back
on tour! Join 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad in 1960’s Baltimore as she sets out to dance her way onto TV’s most
popular show. Can a girl with big dreams (and even bigger hair) change the world?

Featuring the beloved score of hit songs including “Welcome to the 60’s,” “Good Morning Baltimore” and
“You Can’t Stop the Beat,” HAIRSPRAY is “fresh, winning, and deliriously tuneful!” (The New York Times).
This all-new touring production will reunite Broadway’s award-winning creative team led by Director Jack
O’Brien and Choreographer Jerry Mitchell to bring HAIRSPRAY to a new generation of theater audiences.
Don’t miss this “exhilaratingly funny and warm-hearted musical comedy” (The New Yorker).
TINA: THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL: January 3-8, 2023
HER VOICE IS UNDENIABLE. HER FIRE IS UNSTOPPABLE. HER TRIUMPH IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER.
This new musical reveals a comeback story like no other, of a woman who dared to defy the bounds of racism,
sexism and ageism to become the global Queen of Rock n’ Roll. TINA – THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL is a
celebration of resilience and an inspiration of triumph over adversity.
One of the world’s best-selling artists of all time, Tina Turner has won 12 Grammy Awards and her live shows
have been seen by millions, with more concert tickets sold than any other solo performer in music history.
Featuring her much loved songs, TINA – THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL is written by Pulitzer Prize-winning
playwright Katori Hall and directed by the internationally acclaimed Phyllida Lloyd.
JAGGED LITTLE PILL: February 28 – March 5, 2023
SOME SHOWS YOU SEE. THIS SHOW YOU FEEL.
Joy, strength, love, courage, catharsis, LIFE: everything we want in a Broadway show can be found in this Tony
and Grammy Award®-winning new musical about a perfectly imperfect American family, based on Alanis
Morissette’s world-changing music.
You live, you learn, you connect, you jump out of your seat, you feel truly human…at JAGGED LITTLE PILL.
BEETLEJUICE: April 11-16, 2023
He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the most is coming to DPAC.
It’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a
strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a
demon with a thing for stripes.
With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE is
“SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a
remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!

MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL: May 3-14, 2022
Pop the champagne, MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL is the winner of 10 Tony Awards® — including Best
Musical!
Enter a world of splendor and romance, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur, and glory! A world where
Bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows and revel in electrifying enchantment. Welcome to MOULIN ROUGE!
THE MUSICAL! Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up
extravaganza. Directed by Tony Award® winner Alex Timbers, MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL is a theatrical
celebration of Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and — above all — Love. With a book by Tony Award® winner John
Logan; music supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Tony Award® winner Justin Levine; and
choreography by Tony Award® winner Sonya Tayeh, MOULIN ROUGE! is more than a musical — it is a state of
mind.
1776: May 30 – June 4, 2023
They knew they would make history, but not what history would make of them. Fed up with living under the
tyranny of British rule, John Adams attempts to persuade his fellow members of the Continental Congress to
vote in favor of American Independence and sign the Declaration. But how much is he willing to compromise
in the pursuit of freedom? And to whom does that freedom belong?
From American Repertory Theater at Harvard University and Roundabout Theatre Company, Jeffrey L. Page
and Tony Award® winner Diane Paulus reexamine this pivotal moment in American history in a new production
of this Tony Award®-winning musical.
SIX: June 20 – July 2, 2023
Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.
From Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses, the SIX wives of Henry VIII take the mic to remix five hundred years of
historical heartbreak into an exuberant celebration of 21st century girl power! This new original musical is the
global sensation that everyone is losing their head over.
The New York Times says SIX “TOTALLY RULES!” (Critic’s Pick) and The Washington Post hails SIX as “Exactly
the kind of energizing, inspirational illumination this town aches for! The Broadway season got supercharged!”
