SPAMALOT (Program Book)

DEAR FRIENDS Welcome

Thank you for choosing to see a performance at Playhouse Square. We encourage you take in the historic beauty of our theaters and the bright lights of Euclid Avenue while you’re here. Our staff and RedCoat volunteers are ready to make your visit as memorable and enjoyable as possible.

Playhouse Square was saved by the community for the community, and we are proud to be the stewards of the legacy left to us by previous generations — now one of Cleveland’s brightest cultural gems. Our not-for-profit mission charges us to go beyond simply maintaining these incredible venues.

Every day we work to present a diverse offering of quality performances — Broadway, concerts, comedy, dance, film, family shows and more. We support arts education through a variety of programs that take place in the classroom, online and here at Playhouse Square. We lead a vibrant downtown destination that generates an annual economic impact exceeding $359 million for the region. Equally important are your experience and the memories you take with you.

This season, we are proud to open three national Broadway tours, made possible by Ohio’s theater tax credit, the talented crew and staff here at Playhouse Square, and you, our enthusiastic audiences.

Now, settle into your seat, leave the world outside for a little while and let yourself become absorbed in the magic of the story on stage before you.

With best wishes,

Craig Hassall AM President & CEO

Brent Ballard Chair, Board of Trustees

SPOTLIGHT ON News

BETTY BOOP IS HITTING THE ROAD

BOOP! The Musical, which ran on Broadway in the spring of 2025, just announced the launch of a 50-week North American tour beginning in Fall 2026. Inspired by Max Fleischer’s iconic cartoon character Betty Boop, the musical celebrates self-discovery and empowerment through a vibrant journey from black-and-white fame to colorful adventure in New York City. BOOP! features direction and choreography by Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, music by Grammy-winner David Foster, lyrics by Susan Birkenhead, and a book by Bob Martin. The tour will launch at the West Herr Auditorium Theatre in Rochester, NY, with additional tour stops and casting details coming soon.

FROM SMALL SCREEN TO THE GREAT WHITE WAY

The whimsical world of Schmigadoon! is leaping from screen to stage as the Apple TV+ musical comedy heads to Broadway in 2026. Following its successful debut at the Kennedy Center, the stage adaptation — based on the show’s first season — will play a limited engagement at the Nederlander Theatre from April 4 to September 6, with opening night set for April 20. Produced by Lorne Michaels and featuring an expanded score with new songs like “The Picnic Basket Auction,” the show follows New York doctors Josh and Melissa (originally played in the TV series by Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong) as they stumble into a magical town where life is a Golden Age musical. Casting for the Broadway production has not yet been announced.

PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF THIS BEAR

A musical adaptation of the beloved marmalade-loving bear Paddington, made famous in Michael Bond’s iconic children’s books, premiered in London’s West End in November. Paddington the Musical tells the tale of a small, lost bear from Peru who arrives in London in search of a new home. A chance encounter with the Brown family leads him to the wonderful world of Windsor Gardens, but when a mysterious and vengeful villain sets her sights on Paddington, his friends must embark on a thrilling rescue mission — in which they realize they need this special bear as much as he needs them. The role of Paddington is played by two actors, one inside the bear suit who moves about onstage and one offstage who supplies the voice and controls the facial expressions. Will Paddington’s travels eventually take him to Broadway? We’ll have to wait and see!

A CLASSIC RETURNS TO BROADWAY

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats is set to return to Broadway in a bold new revival that reimagines the iconic musical through the lens of New York’s ballroom culture. Directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz, Cats: The Jellicle Ball trades paws for high heels and introduces voguing to the Jellicle Ball, offering a fresh, queer-forward interpretation of the classic. The musical revival played last year at the Perelman Performing Arts Center in Lower Manhattan, and eyes a spring 2026 transfer to the Broadhurst Theater on Broadway. Full casting and additional creative team details are not yet available. This marks the first major Broadway revival of Cats since its 2016 run.

SPOTLIGHT ON

The District

’TIS THE SEASON FOR HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS AT PLAYHOUSE SQUARE

The holiday season is in full swing, and the Playhouse Square District is brimming with cheer. Guests can enjoy a number of seasonal shows throughout December, ranging from concerts to dance and theatrical performances. Holiday fun is in high gear at Hofbräuhaus Cleveland with events like its Brunch with Santa Claus and Christmas Eve with the Hermit Club Orchestra. Santa Paws will also make an appearance at Playhouse Square Plaza on Saturday, December 13 for guests and their four-legged friends. For those wanting to extend their time in the PSQ District during the holiday happenings, the Crowne Plaza is the perfect place for a seasonal staycation. For more event information, please visit playhousesquare.org/blog.

ENJOY NEW DISTRICT DINING OPTIONS

Guests to the Playhouse Square District can experience two new dining establishments before or after their performances. Something Good Social Kitchen, co-founded by Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere creator Ricky Smith, is open in the pavilion on Playhouse Square Plaza with a menu featuring burgers, hot dogs and fries. And the best part? Every meal purchased helps to feed someone in need or someone deserving. Ben & Jerry’s has also opened its scoop shop in the Hanna Building (1422 Euclid Ave.). The shop offers a range of their well-known ice cream flavors, as well as enjoy flavors that are “exclusive” to the Playhouse Square District, all of which can be served in a waffle cone, milkshake, sundae or a classic cup. The addition of these two locations is a part of Playhouse Square’s “Beyond the Stage” initiative, which is designed to enhance the experience of theatergoers and provide a welcoming environment for downtown workers, residents and visitors.

JUMP BACK BALL BLOSSOMS AND BLOOMS

Get ready to dance the night away and unlock the magic of the secret garden at Playhouse Square’s 35th annual Jump Back Ball. The fundraiser, hosted by Playhouse Square’s young professionals group Partners, features live entertainment, food and drinks, games of chance and décor inspired by the theme — “BLOOM.” This 21-and-over event takes place on Saturday, February 28. Proceeds raised through this event benefit Playhouse Square’s notfor-profit mission and education programs, including sensory-friendly programming, Disney Musicals in Schools, the Dazzle Awards and Classroom Connections Workshops. Tickets are available at playhousesquare.org/jumpbackball.

ERIC IDLE (Book, Music & Lyrics) is one of the original six creators of Monty Python’s Flying Circus which began life on BBCTV in 1969. They eventually made six feature films, including two of the top ten comedy movies of all time. Eric, together with longtime collaborator and Composer John Du Prez, adapted The Holy Grail, into the hit musical Monty Python’s Spamalot, which ran for almost five years on Broadway, and

popped up again on Broadway in a 2023 revival and is now touring the US.. The original was nominated for 13 Tonys, winning 3, including Best Director for Mike Nichols and the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2005, plus a Drama Desk Award, and a Grammy for the authors. They then created a Comic Oratorio Not The Messiah, He’s a Very Naughty Boy based on Monty Python’s Life of Brian, which premiered in Toronto, and played The Sydney Opera House, The Hollywood Bowl, Wolf Trap, and Carnegie Hall and was eventually filmed with most of the Pythons at The Royal Albert Hall for the 40th Anniversary of Monty Python. Eric wrote, directed and starred in The Rutles, the world’s first mockumentary, and in 2012 he sang his own song Always Look On the Bright Side of Life, before a billion people at the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympics. In 2014 he directed and appeared alongside Conductor John Du Prez in the Monty Python final reunion show One Down Five To Go which sold out London’s O2 Arena for ten nights. In 2018 his Sortabiography Always Look on the Bright Side of Life became a New York Times best seller. In 2019 he was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer which he survived thanks to early diagnosis and great Doctors. Following his appearance on The Masked Singer in 2022, he launched The Bright Side Fund (Standup2Cancer/Eric Idle) to help fund Research. His musical play What About Dick? with songs by JDP is currently playing on Prime and his latest book The Spamalot Diaries which tell the tale of the creation of Spamalot has just been nominated for a Thurber Award.

He entered the film industry composing additional music for Monty Python’s Life of Brian. It was on this project that he first worked with Eric idle. This began their long writing partnership

which culminated in Spamalot and Not The Messiah. He also worked on two movies for George Harrison’s Handmade Films (Bullshot & Shanghai Surprise) and played trumpet on many Top 20 hits with the UK salsa band Modern Romance, winners of the Best New Band 1981 award from the NY DJ Syndicate for their club hit Everybody Salsa.

PLAYHOUSE SQUARE History

Playhouse Square Education Department

Since its inception in 1998, the Playhouse Square Education Department has remained committed to including the widest possible audience through streaming initiatives, sensory-friendly performances and its social justice series. The department is unique in the performing arts industry for the variety of programs it offers, the partnerships it initiates and the access it provides students, educators and aspiring artists to performing arts professionals. The Education Department oversees The Dazzle Awards presented by Pat and John Chapman, Disney Musicals in Schools presented by Dee and Jimmy Haslam, as well as school matinee performances, Children’s Theater Series and Family Theater Day. The department also manages the free Broadway Buzz pre-show talks that are held before most KeyBank Broadway Series performances. For more than 25 years, the Education Department has offered thousands of events, workshops and classes — most with minimal or no fees thanks to the generosity of our donors — and its nationally recognized performances and arts education programming have impacted hundreds of thousands of people in Cleveland and around the world, as they have enriched individuals of all backgrounds, abilities and means.

The Playhouse Square Chandelier

The Playhouse Square Chandelier at the intersection of E. 14th and Euclid Ave. is the largest outdoor chandelier in North America with 4200 crystals. The Chandelier is generously presented by GE Lighting, a Savant company.

A Change in History?

One of many fascinating items to be found in the book Playhouse Square: An Entertaining History deals with the infamous John Wilkes Booth. Booth performed locally at the old Academy of Music, which was one of the first drama schools in the country and was located at 1371 W. 6th Street.

It was at that Cleveland Academy where he would play his last role prior to performing at Washington D.C.’s Ford Theatre where he would assassinate President Lincoln. (Might history have been changed if the Academy had held over Booth’s play for an extended run?)

There Goes the Neighborhood!

The 1870s ushered in the golden age for Euclid Avenue — known as Millionaire’s Row — as the street became a stretch of grand mansions, with grounds often extending as far as Lake Erie, and stately elm trees arching over the avenue.

But by Cleveland’s Centennial in 1896, Euclid Avenue residents were likely muttering, Well, there

goes the neighborhood! as the dirt street was paved with sandstone, and businessmen began to buy up and tear down the mansions and towering elms to make way for commercial ventures.

Streetcar lines on the once totally residential stretch hastened the creation of a commercial district, forcing wealthy families to move even farther east on Euclid Avenue. In another 30 years, the district would see the birth of the five main theaters that would eventually become Playhouse Square.

Basketball on the KeyBank State stage?

The stage of the KeyBank State Theatre is so large that a typical high school gymnasium (complete with basketball court and bleachers) could easily fit on stage. As another point of comparison, three of the Mimi Ohio Theatre stages could fit onto the State’s stage.

The Mural Above the Fireplace

Above the fireplace at the rear of the KeyBank State Theatre auditorium, an original mural hangs despite its near-tragic loss. Removed from the wall in the early 1970s prior to the scheduled demolition of the venue, the mural eventually turned up in the basement of a piano store and was repurchased by Playhouse Square for $200.

The recovered mural was badly torn, having originally been painted on burlap then glued to the wall. The challenge of restoring the artwork fell to the Theater District’s Bonfoey Company. Artisans sanded the glue from the burlap and attached the cleaned mural to canvas via beeswax.

The next step was to clean and restore the work where needed. A stretcher for the canvas had to be custom-made. To eliminate tears and wrinkles, the stretcher was designed to expand and contract with the theater’s climactic changes and held together with springs (no nails or screws). It took Bonfoey employees 18 months to restore the painting at a cost of $8,500.

Although the creator of this mural is unknown, it is suspected to be Italian artist Sampitrotti, who had painted three murals for the original Mimi Ohio Theatre lobby. (Those murals were later destroyed in the Ohio’s 1964 lobby fire.)

World’s Longest Lobby Explained

In 1920 as the Loew’s chain anticipated building in the area that would come to be known as

Playhouse Square, it was discovered there wasn’t sufficient room to build two theaters side by side in the available space.

Since it was important that the proposed theater marquees be located on Euclid Avenue, an architectural plan was devised. Even though the KeyBank State Theatre would be completed and open 21 months before the Connor Palace, it was decided to build the KeyBank State behind the Connor Palace. This led to the construction of the KeyBank State’s 320-foot-long lobby, reported to be the longest theater lobby in the world. The Mimi Ohio Theatre would then be built on the other side of the KeyBank State, giving all three theaters the desired Euclid Avenue marquee frontage.

What Would It Cost to Build Them Today?

Even though the Connor Palace is not the largest of the Playhouse Square venues, it was the most costly to build ($3.5 million) by the time it premiered on Nov. 6, 1922. The largest theater, the KeyBank State, (opened Feb. 5, 1921) was built at a cost of $2 million; the Mimi Ohio (Feb. 14, 1921) also cost $2 million, and the Allen’s costs totaled $1.9 million when it opened April 1, 1921. (Exact building costs for the Hanna Theatre — which opened March 28, 1921 — have yet to be uncovered.) In 1977, it was estimated that it would cost $75 million to recreate the Connor Palace.

A Phoenix from the Ashes

In 1964, the Mimi Ohio Theatre lobby and auditorium were destroyed by fire. When the fledgling Playhouse Square organization restored the spaces in 1982, funding and time constraints made it possible only for the auditorium to be fully restored. Thanks to a gift from the George Gund Foundation, the lobby was re-created in its original splendor in 2016. You can watch a documentary about the project, “Restoring the Legacy,” on Playhouse Square’s YouTube channel.

Re-Creating History

We call the completed Mimi Ohio Theatre George Gund Foundation Lobby project a “re-creation” rather than a restoration. Why? There was nothing left to restore after a 1964 fire destroyed the space. To reproduce the lobby’s original 1921 splendor, architects, restoration specialists and Playhouse Square staff conducted exhaustive research of the original drawings by architect

Thomas Lamb, photo archives and a few remaining bits of ornamental plaster detail to gain a thorough understanding of the space and inform the plans for re-creating the lobby.

Broadway to Buildings

Where do the arts and real estate go hand-in-hand?

At Playhouse Square, of course! As the theaters began to be restored in the early 1980s, it was thought that developers would step in to build and open businesses around them. When that didn’t happen, Playhouse Square began to steward development of the surrounding neighborhood. In 1999, Playhouse Square became the first performing arts center with a real estate services division, which manages the more than 1.7 million square feet of property owned by the organization and another 1.5 million square feet outside the theater district. Other performing arts centers have since looked to our expertise as a model.

YPs Take the Lead

Best known as the masterminds behind the annual Jump Back Ball benefit, Playhouse Square’s young professionals group – Partners – was formed in 1991. Since then, hundreds of young professionals engage with Playhouse Square each year to build leadership skills, raise funds and volunteer in support of our not-for-profit mission, enjoy shows together, network and have fun!

Keeping Up the KeyBank State Theatre

First restored more than 30 years ago, the KeyBank State Theatre was repainted from the street to the proscenium in 2015. The new, cohesive color palette showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of the nearly 100-year-old theater. It took 25 painters 12,500 hours and 595 gallons of paint in 15 different colors to complete the project, which also included 6000 sheets of new metal leafing in the auditorium dome and the application of a historically accurate wall-covering design. While the theater was dark, its lighting fixtures and restrooms received major upgrades.

What’s in a Logo?

The Playhouse Square logo we use today — a tilted burgundy square with a capital P in its center — was introduced in 2008 to capture the enduring spirit of entertainment and excitement. Each of the logo’s graphic elements has meaning:

the exclamation point with a star in the “P” symbolizes excitement and innovation; the swirl in the “P” represents creativity and forward motion; the tilted square symbolizes Playhouse Square as a destination; and the burgundy color gives nod to the color scheme of our historic theaters.

Going Green

While red is the color most often associated with theaters, Playhouse Square is making efforts to go “green.” You will find receptacles for recycling paper, plastic and cans throughout the complex. Lighting fixtures are being switched to LED for increased energy efficiency. And the Playhouse Square administrative office is making strides towards going paperless.

Patterns in Plaster

As you walk through the theaters, you may notice various patterns within the plaster decoration. Common are dentil, lamb tongue, rope and rosettes. Other patterns you may see have been associated with certain meanings since they were first used hundreds or even thousands of years ago, such as the acanthus leaf (immortality), egg and dart (life and death), and the palm leaf, first used in ancient Egypt as a reference to the Nile River. In the KeyBank State Theatre, if you look closely and carefully, you can find ox skulls, which were believed to offer protection from natural elements. And throughout the theaters, you will find griffins, mythical creatures thought of as guardians.

The ”Blue Urn”

On the mezzanine level of the Connor Palace lobby, you’ll find a cobalt blue urn sitting on a marble base. The urn, weighing 325 pounds, was made in Sevres, France before WWI. It is said that its twin resides in the Louvre Museum.

The Show That Saved Playhouse Square

After seeing a performance of Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris at Cleveland State University, Ray Shepardson — the man who was the driving force behind the saving of Playhouse Square’s theaters — decided to stage the show in the KeyBank State Theatre lobby for three weeks. Clevelanders flocked to the performances and the show’s run extended to more than two years, proving that audiences would return to Playhouse Square and to downtown.

In Residence

Playhouse Square is proud to be the home of eight resident companies: The City Club of Cleveland, Cleveland Ballet, Cleveland International Film Festival, Cleveland Play House, Cleveland State University Department of Theatre and Dance, DANCECleveland, Great Lakes Theater and Tri-C JazzFest.

A League of Our Own

Playhouse Square is a member of The Broadway League, the national trade association for the Broadway industry. Formed in 1930, members include theater owners and operators, producers, presenters, general managers and suppliers throughout North America.

Marquees on Display

The Playhouse Square District is shining brighter than ever before with our magnificent marquees and outdoor digital signage. The marquees’ designs were inspired by each historic theater

with the ceiling of each marquee capturing elements from the grand ceiling of its respective theater. The marquees are equipped with localized sound to welcome audiences with thematic soundtracks, as well as sustainable, energy-efficient LED lighting that can complement shows, holidays and other themes. Guests can catch the Marquee Moment presented by GE Lighting, a Savant company, every night before entering and leaving their performances at the theaters.

Officially Historic

In 1978, Playhouse Square was added to the National Register of Historic Places, the official list of U.S. historic sites worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate and protect America’s historic and archeological resources.

What Were They Watching?

When Playhouse Square’s historic theaters first opened, popular forms of entertainment included vaudeville and silent films. A vaudeville show would feature a variety of acts including burlesque, comedy, and song and dance. Silent films were accompanied by live music, usually played on an organ, that would accentuate and punctuate the action on screen.

Roman Rotunda

The design for the Allen Theatre’s rotunda was inspired by the Villa Madama near Rome. Commissioned by Cardinal de’ Medici, the Villa was created by Raphael and Giovanni da Udine. The direct influence of the Villa Madama can be found in the rotunda’s paintings and color palette, as well as the original floor plan for the theater and lobby.

Seating Styles to Suit

The Hanna Theatre features seven different styles of seating, though none is ever more than 13 rows from the action. You can choose from traditional theater seating in the orchestra or balcony, club chairs, banquettes, bar stools, lounge seating and historic or balcony boxes.

A Curtain with History

It is has long been common practice for touring shows and performers to leave their mark backstage: some sign walls, some sign posters to be hung by theater staff and crew, and some attach t-shirts or posters, create drawings or sign onto the theater curtain itself. From its opening in 1921 through the 1980s, hundreds of such t-shirts, drawings and signatures accumulated on the Hanna Theatre curtain, now housed in the Special Collections Department of the Cleveland State University library.

The Power of Three

The Power of Three: The Allen Theatre Project brought Cleveland Play House, Cleveland State University and Playhouse Square together as partners to reconfigure the Allen Theatre, build the Outcalt Theatre and The Helen, and create a new pedestrian walkway from the Playhouse Square parking garage to the theaters. This partnership would bring Cleveland Play House and Cleveland State University’s Department of Theatre and Dance to Playhouse Square as resident companies.

Building Cleveland

The original builder of the Allen and Hanna Theatres — John Gill & Sons Co. — also built Judson Manor (known then as Wade Park Manor), the Federal Reserve Bank and the Terminal Tower.

Young STARS Shine At Playhouse Square

You might see volunteer RedCoats from time to time who look like they’re not old enough to vote — and they aren’t. These youths are part of the successful STARS (Students Take A Role at the Square) program, where older students volunteer to usher at Broadway Series shows, concerts and other special events at the theaters. While the STARS program can be interesting and fun for all students, it becomes a particularly invaluable opportunity to gain experience and behind-thescenes knowledge for those students who are planning future careers in the performing arts.

The KeyBank State Theatre Murals

The four murals on the walls of the KeyBank State Theatre lobby were painted by American Modernist James Daugherty (1890-1974), whose work hangs in the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum and the Smithsonian. One of the murals, The Spirit of Cinema, was featured on the cover of Life magazine on February 20, 1970. It was that national attention that became the convincing argument to save the venue from the wrecking ball. Destruction of the State would also have meant the loss of the original historic Daugherty murals, since they are painted directly on the walls. Today they are the only Daugherty works which remain at the original site where they were painted.

Performers Help Restore Playhouse Square

During her 1996 run of Kiss of the Spider Woman, legendary Broadway star Chita Rivera was given a guided tour of Playhouse Square. As she followed her tour guide into the State auditorium, an excited Chita pointed to the mezzanine railing and proudly exclaimed, I helped paint that! Indeed, she had. In 1984, Chita had last played Playhouse Square when much restoration remained, and during her free time willingly added her brush strokes to the history of the State. Likewise, Mary Travers of Peter, Paul & Mary fame also performed at the KeyBank State Theatre several times during its early restoration. She became so enthusiastic over the restoration process that she would climb the scaffolding and help paint the ceiling. Like Chita, on a return visit, Mary pointed out the ceiling area that she had helped paint (just-above-and-to-the-left of the Men’s Room doorway on the mezzanine).
