Three shows join CTG next season
Center Theatre Group will announce Wednesday the addition of three productions to its 2018-19 season, including the 9/11 musical “Come From Away.”
Irene Sankoff and David Hein’s show, which premiered at La Jolla Playhouse before going on to become a hit on Broadway, joins the previously announced “Dear Evan Hansen,” the six-time Tony Award winner.
The other two additions to the lineup are Lincoln Center Theatre’s revival of William Finn and James Lapine’s “Falsettos,” as well as “The Play That Goes Wrong,” which CTG artistic director Michael Ritchie described as “a madcap murder mystery.”
The remaining two productions of the season will be announced later.
“Come From Away,” which was nominated for seven Tony Awards, centers on some of the 7,000 airline passengers grounded in a small Canadian town following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The revival of “Falsettos,” which originally opened in 1981 at Playwrights’ Horizons, received five Tony nominations, including best musical revival.
