Based on the beloved 1988 MGM romantic comedy that launched the career of Julia Roberts, Mystic Pizza is a new musical about three working-class girls who navigate the complexities of life, love and family in a small-town pizza joint serving everyone from the townies to the privileged country club set. And what’s in that secret sauce, you ask? The hits of the 80s and 90s! The hit songs range from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” to “Hold On” to “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now.” After you see the show, take a ride to Mystic, CT and see the place where it all started! A charming, light-hearted story… and a string of 1980s tunes that will have you reminiscing about big hair, neon colors and shoulder pads.
