DEAR FRIENDS

Welcome

hank you for visiting Playhouse Square. While you are here, we invite you to take in the beauty of our historic theaters and explore the district as part of your experience. Our staff and RedCoat volunteers are here to ensure your visit is welcoming, comfortable, and memorable from start to finish. Playhouse Square exists because the Cleveland community came together to preserve these historic theaters for future generations. We are honored to care for this remarkable legacy, which has grown into one of Ohio’s most treasured cultural destinations. As a not-for-profit organization, our mission extends beyond maintaining these extraordinary spaces. Each year, we bring audiences together through an array of wonderful entertainment, including Broadway productions, concerts, comedy, dance, theater, film, family programming and more. We also advance arts education through programs that make the arts accessible to students, teachers, and lifelong learners — in classrooms, online, and here at Playhouse Square. As a dynamic downtown destination, Playhouse Square contributes more than $359 million in annual economic impact to the region. Above all, our focus remains on creating meaningful experiences and lasting memories for every guest who walks through our doors. This season, we are especially proud to welcome two national Broadway tours to our stages: Death Becomes Her and The Who’s Tommy. Their arrival reflects the support of Ohio’s theater tax credit, the dedication of our talented crews and employees, and the enthusiasm of audiences like you. Now, we invite you to sit back, relax and leave the outside world behind for a little while. May the performance ahead transport you, inspire you, and remind you of the unique magic that only live theater can provide.

With best wishes,

Craig Hassall AM President & CEO

Brent Ballard Chair, Board of Trustees

SPOTLIGHT ON News

A WICKEDLY GOOD NEW EXPERIENCE Fans of Wicked will soon be able to experience Oz in a whole new way. A new Wicked in Concert event has been announced, pairing screenings of both Wicked and Wicked: For Good with a live full orchestra performing Stephen Schwartz’s beloved songs alongside the films’ scores by Schwartz and John Powell. The concert presentation celebrates the blockbuster movie adaptations starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, while also spotlighting the enduring popularity of the stage musical, which continues to run on Broadway and in London’s West End. Additional details for the concert events, including tour dates and venues, will be announced at a later date. In the meantime, you can still experience the original stage musical, as Wicked returns to Playhouse Square Dec. 9–Jan. 3! Tickets are currently on sale at playhousesquare.org or by calling 216-241-6000.

BROADWAY IS ABOUT TO GET A LITTLE MORE PURPLE Prince fans, mark your calendars: Purple Rain is officially making its Broadway debut in spring 2027! The new musical, based on the iconic 1984 film and packed with more than 20 of Prince’s biggest hits, will begin previews March 12 at the Majestic Theatre before opening April 12. Following a world premiere in Minneapolis in 2025, the production arrives on Broadway with a refreshed creative team led by Tony nominee Saheem Ali (Buena Vista Social Club) and writer Peter Duchan (Dogfight). Set in 1984 Minneapolis, the musical follows a rising musician known as “The Kid” as he navigates fame, family struggles, and his dream of stardom, all set to a soundtrack that includes classics like “When Doves Cry,” “I Would Die 4 U,” and “The Beautiful Ones.”

WYLD STALLYNS RIDE AGAIN

Excellent news, Wyld Stallyns fans: Bill & Ted are officially headed to the stage. Bill & Ted’s Most Excellent Rock Opera is currently in development for a 2027 world premiere, with original Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure co-writer Chris Matheson returning to pen the musical and direct an upcoming workshop. Featuring an original score by Grandaddy founder Jason Lytle, the show follows the time-traveling duo as they turn their legendary history report into a live rock opera, backed by an all-star band of historical figures including Beethoven, Joan of Arc, Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon, Genghis Khan, and Sigmund Freud. Developed in partnership with Emerson College, Berklee College of Music, and Boston Conservatory, the musical is scheduled to hold a developmental workshop in Boston this fall.

SPOTLIGHT ON The District

EXPLORE EUCLID AVE. EXPERIENCE THE PSQ DISTRICT. As the 2026–27 KeyBank Broadway Series begins, it’s time to plan your visit to one of the restaurants or bars that are within walking distance of our historic theaters in the Playhouse Square District. Whether it’s a pre-show dinner or post-show drinks and desserts, you can explore Euclid Avenue and extend your experience in the PSQ District. With more than 15 diverse dining establishments to choose from along Euclid, it’s easy to find a location that is perfect for a special evening with the family or a night out with friends. For more information on dining and drinks in the PSQ District, please visit playhousesquare. org/dining or follow the PSQ District on Facebook, Instagram and X.

COMING SOON

Theatergoers can plan for another new restaurant to join the Playhouse Square District in early 2027. Danny Boys Pizza Co. is set to open its first Downtown Cleveland location in the Hanna Building (2033 E. 14th St.). The downtown community and visitors to the region will be able to enjoy everything they’ve loved about the family restaurant for the past three decades with the Playhouse Square location having a modern twist — serving lunch and dinner to theatergoers and a new late-night crowd. This growth within the district is a part of the organization’s Beyond the Stage initiative, which enhances the experience of theatergoers and provides a welcoming environment for residents and visitors.

THE WHO have sold over 100 million records since forming in 1964, bringing together four individuals who between them produced a musical hurricane. Keith Moon thrashed his drums with animated elegance; bassist John Entwistle held the beat with melodic virtuosity; Pete Townshend punctuated the epic universality of his songs with windmilled power chords; while Roger Daltrey roared above it all with a virile macho swagger. They exploded conventions, challenged pop music practices and redefined what was possible on stage and on record. Today, with remaining members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, The Who are still going strong to rave reviews.

PLAYHOUSE SQUARE Playhouse Square Education Department

There Goes the Neighborhood!

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. 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 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.

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?)

History

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

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 docu-

mentary 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.

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.

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 2.6 million square feet of property owned by the organization and another three million square feet outside the theater district. Other performing arts centers have since looked to our expertise as a model.
