In a press conference, President and CEO J.L. “Lynn” Singleton announced the lineup for the 2022/2023 Broadway season at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC).
“Thank you for attending this morning’s exciting season announcement. On behalf of the PPAC Board of Directors, we are greatly appreciative for our community partners, including our Broadway series title sponsor, the Taco/The White Family Foundation, and our Encore Series media sponsor Cox Media,” said Board Chairman Walsh. “These community partnerships allow PPAC to continually bring dynamic, artistic, and thought-provoking national touring Broadway productions to Rhode Island.”
“We believe that our 2022/2023 Broadway Season is “Simply the Best!” Singleton said. “Our Taco/The White Family Foundation Broadway Series features seven shows and opens with our 21st national tour launch – the phenomenal Tina – The Tina Turner Musical. The Broadway Series includes the national tours of some of the hottest shows on Broadway today; they are Mean Girls, Tootsie, Jagged Little Pill, Hadestown , SIX, and Beetlejuice. The Encore Series features three one-week return engagements of Les Misérables, Annie, and Come From Away. Our Season also includes the Broadway Special The Simon & Garfunkel Story.”
