The musical debuted on Broadway in 1998 and received four Tony Award® nominations: Best Book of a Musical by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie; Best Original Score by Tom Snow, with Lyrics by Dean Pitchford and additional numbers by Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins and Jim Steinman; Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical by Dee Hoty and Best Choreography by A.C. Ciulla. Based closely on the popular 1984 movie of the same name starring Kevin Bacon, its story of teenage angst expressed in dance and music has songs you’re sure to recognize, such as “Footloose,” “Let’s Hear it For the Boy,” “Holding Out for a Hero” and more. I am delighted that our production features two members of the Broadway cast: Dee Hoty, who starred in our A Little Night Music (2005), CATS (2007) and 9 to 5 (2011), and Pittsburgh native Billy Hartung, most recently in our 1776 (2004). Let’s also hear it for Patrick Cassidy, with whom I had the privilege of doing Camelot at CLO in 1998 and the National Tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat a year later, and whose mother Shirley Jones was Aunt Eller in our Oklahoma! (2007). I also want to acknowledge director and choreographer Barry Ivan for keeping us on our toes and cues, and who in 2012 helmed another first-time musical for us, Sunset Boulevard. “Footloose” followed fellow American coming-of-age dance movies “Grease” and “Saturday Night Fever” into a new decade of similarly-themed movies such as “Fame,” “Flashdance,” “Dirty Dancing” and “Hairspray” (a teen genre very much alive in Hollywood with the “Bring it On” and “Step Up” films and “Glee”). At Pittsburgh CLO, we’ve always believed in the special relationship between dance, music and youth, so if you know a child who has energy to spare, our CLO Academy for students age 3-17 offers training in poise, perseverance and productivity, in a setting designed to blow off steam. Summer’s here, my friends, and it can’t get any hotter than the National Tour of Evita, fresh from Broadway, or those CATS costumes. As for Monty Python’s Spamalot, comedy is catnip for the young at heart. Please join me for these exciting musicals to come. Thank you for being here. Youth has no age. Enjoy the show! - Pablo Picasso Our Mission That men and women may work in safety and that they, their families and their communities Van Kaplan may live in health throughout the world.

  • “Hot in Cleveland” Airs 100Th Episode on Wednesday, August 27Th
    “HOT IN CLEVELAND” AIRS 100TH EPISODE ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27TH New York, NY – August 26, 2014 – TV Land’s hit sitcom “Hot in Cleveland,” starring Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick and Betty White, is hitting a huge milestone with its 100th taped episode, entitled “Win, Win,” airing on Wednesday, August 27th at 10pm ET/PT. “Win, Win” will see a big night for the Clevelanders – Elka (White), who is at the finish line for her City Council election, and Victoria (Malick), who is up for an Academy Award at long last, with Joy (Leeves) and Melanie (Bertinelli) in tow. The episode also guest stars Debra Monk (“Damages”) as Melanie’s mother and Georgia Engel, back as Elka’s best friend Mamie Sue. “When we first pulled together this group of extraordinary women and saw their chemistry, we knew it had everything we wanted for our first original sitcom,” said Larry W. Jones, President of TV Land. “Before ‘Hot in Cleveland,’ there hadn’t been a comedy in decades that explored life’s funny moments for women over 40, and now in just four short years, we’ve reached 100 episodes and have fans of all ages tuning in every week. We couldn’t be prouder and more excited for the cast, crew and all the people who worked so hard to get ‘Hot in Cleveland’ to this landmark occasion.” “Hot in Cleveland,” currently in its fifth season and in production on its sixth, has seen some amazing guest stars over the past four years, ranging from Chris Colfer, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Jennifer Love Hewitt to Carol Burnett, Carl Reiner and a full reunion of the female cast of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” – Mary Tyler Moore, Cloris Leachman, Valerie Harper, Georgia Engel, and of course, series star Betty White.
