Following Paper Mill Run National Tour Of MYSTIC PIZZA Postponed

The national tour of the musical adaptation of the 1988 classic movie MYSTIC PIZZA has postponed its touring dates, previously set for after a four week run at Paper Mill Playhouse which begins performances January 29th.

The run at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ is not affected by the cancellation.

"The Producers of Mystic Pizza have been thrilled to see such enthusiasm for the show as we head into our 4-week run at Paper Mill Playhouse. With the latter portion of the original tour after Paper Mill being postponed this past fall, that has given us the opportunity to explore further possibilities so that more audiences can have a chance to witness this amazing and heartfelt production," said Mystic Pizza Producer, Michael Barra of Lively McCabe Entertainment in a statement to BroadwayWorld.

The production was previously set to play Tampa, West Palm Beach, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Colorado Springs, Lincoln (Nebraska), Wilmington, and Waterbury (CT). All tour dates were previously removed from the tour's website and local presenter ticketing platforms, with patrons being notified via email.

Based on the beloved 1988 MGM rom-com 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," and so many more!

Developed by Lively McCabe Entertainment and Concord Theatricals, MYSTIC PIZZA is based on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture, with story and characters by Amy Holden Jones, book by Sandy Rustin (Clue, The Cottage), arrangements and orchestrations by Carmel Dean (The Notebook, If/Then), choreography by Connor Gallagher (Beetlejuice, The Big Gay Jamboree), music direction by Kristin Stowell (Songbird) and direction by Casey Hushion (Mean Girls, Clue).
