“FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER!” This wonderful lyric from FROZEN very much sums up how we are all feeling right now. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER, the Peace Center is announcing with confidence and excitement that Broadway is about to be back on the road and heading straight to Greenville!

Beginning in October, the Peace Center will open a fabulous nine-show season comprised of Tony Award winning Broadway musicals, fan favorites, and reimagined revivals.

We are particularly delighted to share with you our digital 2021-2022 season brochure. With a simple click, you can unlock great information on each of the productions, including music and video clips, and receive a glimpse of what you will enjoy in our beautiful Peace Concert Hall.

Throughout this season we plan to celebrate with gratitude those who make Broadway possible – the producers, agents, directors, actors, designers, stage hands and company managers – all of whom have had a long, hard year. We will also be celebrating YOU – our patient and dedicated season ticket holders, Peacekeepers, and patrons.

This past year challenged us in unprecedented ways, and yet it provided tremendous opportunities for growth. The Peace Center is emerging stronger and better than ever and remains deeply committed to giving you the most extraordinary experiences possible.

It is time to gather again. And it is time to enjoy the energy in the room that can be obtained only through the live arts. We look forward to sharing so many new and special moments with you.

Until then, be well!

Sincerely,

Megan Riegel President and CEO P.S. Please join me in giving Gibbs Cancer Center a “shout out” for so generously sponsoring this remarkable season!

THE MUSICAL

Big New Musical.

B i g. Huge.

COME SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE. Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy ® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today... and always.

HADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.

BEST MUSICAL REVIVAL

“HOW IS IT THAT THE COOLEST NEW SHOW ON BROADWAY IS A 1943 MUSICAL?” (The New York Times) This is OKLAHOMA! as you’ve never seen or heard it before — reimagined for the 21st century, and now the Tony Award® winner for Best Revival of a Musical. Funny and sexy, dark and jolting, this acclaimed production of OKLAHOMA! “lets us experience Rodgers and Hammerstein’s greatness anew” (The New Yorker).

Stripped down to reveal the darker psychological truths at its core, Daniel Fish’s production tells a story of a community circling its wagons against an outsider, and the frontier life that shaped America. Upending the sunny romance of a farmer and a cowpoke, this OKLAHOMA! allows the classic musical — and our country — to be seen in a whole new light.

“This production shocked me and moved me,” raves Frank Rich of New York Magazine. “This is the OKLAHOMA! that was there all along.” The Daily Beast raves “Forget your traditional idea of OKLAHOMA! Daniel Fish’s daring, brilliant, utterly absorbing re-interpretation is dark and different — brilliantly so.”

NOVEMBER 17-21, 2021 Audience Advisory: Contains fog, loud gunshot effects, moments of total darkness, and violence.

CALL IT “MUSICAL COMEDY HEAVEN” (Rolling Stone).

CALL IT “THE MOST UPROARIOUS NEW MUSICAL IN YEARS!” (The Hollywood Reporter). CALL IT TOOTSIE! This laugh-out-loud love letter to the theater tells the story of Michael Dorsey, a talented but difficult actor who struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a lifetime. Featuring a hilarious Tony ®winning book by Robert Horn and an outrageously clever score by 2018 Tony winner David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), this New York Times Critic’s Pick is “a joyful delight” (The Washington Post) that’s “so packed with punchlines, it should be called a jokebox musical!” (Bloomberg). “In these turbulent times, when the world seems out of balance, we need a place to let the good times roll,” raves Rolling Stone. “TOOTSIE is it!”

“IT’S NOT A REGULAR MUSICAL. IT’S A COOL MUSICAL.” (Entertainment Weekly) Direct from Broadway, MEAN GIRLS is the hilarious hit musical from an award-winning creative team, including book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde), and director Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon).

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naïve newbie falls prey to a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.

New York Magazine cheers, “MEAN GIRLS delivers with immense energy, a wicked sense of humor and joyful inside-jokery.” USA Today says, “We’ll let you in on a little secret, because we’re such good friends: GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!”
