Talk about performances at Heinz Field taking center stage.
The Pittsburgh CLO is partnering with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a two-show “Summer Under the Stars” season in July that will feature “The Wizard of Oz” and an original musical revue, “A Broadway Musical Celebration.”
“There’s no place like home, or the home field,” said Van Kaplan, CEO of Pittsburgh CLO. “Our musicals started in 1946 at Pitt Stadium and, 75 years later, in a full circle moment, we are back outdoors. We are so grateful to the Steelers and Heinz Field for making this happen.”
There will be four performances of each show. Single tickets go on sale June 7. Current ticket holders can use their tickets this summer or move their subscriptions forward to summer 2022 at the Benedum Center.
