In addition to the eightshow
Broadway series already
mentioned, the Straz Center will
present several other hit shows.
Waitress will return to Tampa
from September 25th through
27th, 2020. Jenna the expert pie
maker dreams of a way out of her
small town and rocky marriage.
She crafts desserts that mirror
her topsy-turvy life. A baking
contest in a nearby county and
a satisfying encounter with
someone new give her a chance
at a fresh start.
Wicked will be performed
from January 13-31, 2021. The
Broadway sensation looks at
what happened in the Land of
Oz, but from a different angle.
Long before Dorothy arrives,
there is another girl, born with
emerald-green skin—smart, fiery,
misunderstood, and possessing
an extraordinary talent. When
she meets a bubbly blonde
who is exceptionally popular,
their initial rivalry turns into
the unlikeliest of friendship
until the world decides to call
one “good,” and the other one
“wicked.” With a thrilling score
that includes the hits “Defying
Gravity,” “Popular” and “For
Good,” Wicked has been hailed
by The New York Times as “the
defining musical of the decade.”
Time cheers, “If every musical
had the brain, the heart, and the
courage of Wicked, Broadway
really would be a magical place.”
Then from March 23-28, 2021,
Dear Evan Hansen will be
onstage with a letter that was
