Among the many highlights of the season, Playhouse Square will host the official North American tour opening of Back To The Future: The Musical. The tour will launch in June 2024, less than 12 months after the show’s Broadway opening, which is scheduled for August 2023.

Cleveland will also be one of the first cities in the country to experience a pre-Broadway stop of The Wiz, which will begin touring ahead of a limited Broadway run in the spring of 2024.

Playhouse Square is one of the premiere markets for touring Broadway in the country, with each show on the Series committed for at least a three-week run and more than 44,000 season ticket holders annually. No other Broadway venue in North America has a larger season ticket holder community than Playhouse Square.

Craig Hassall, president and CEO of Playhouse Square, credits loyal season ticket holders for the venue’s status within the Broadway community and influence in bringing shows to Cleveland early in their tours.

“The passion for theater and knowledge of the industry rivals that of audiences anywhere in the world,” states Hassall. “We want to continue to bring our guests the best shows and more opportunities to witness amazing performances on stage.”
