Hailed by critics as “unabashedly fun, ecstatically buoyant" and "an amusingly sassy, smile-inducing delight" (BroadwayWorld), Center REP's upcoming Northern California premier of the hit new musical, Mystic Pizza is the theatrical event of the season - and tickets are going faster than a hot slice of pepperoni at a Super Bowl party!
Inspired by the popular 1988 MGM rom-com, this nostalgic musical follows three working-class young women balancing life's challenges and relationships while working at a small-town pizza restaurant. Featuring an infectious, hit-filled soundtrack of classic tunes from the 80s and 90s - including your favorites from The Bangles, Cyndi Lauper, Journey, Melissa Etheridge and more, this piping hot musical promises to have audiences singing and dancing in their seats!
approx. 2 hours, with one intermission
