Summary
"Wicked"-back by "popular" demand. The New York Times calls "Wicked" "Broadway's biggest blockbuster," and when it first played Pittsburgh in 2006, it broke box office records and sold out in record time. Catch it Sept. 3-Oct. 5 at the Benedum.
The following evening brings the inaugural midwest tour of the sons of Larry Coryell (Julian), Brian Auger of Oblivion Express (Karma) and Joe Sample (Nicklas); collectively known as CAST to Moondogs, where they will prove that "the nut doesn't fall far from the tree." The esoteric vibe continues on Saturday when City of Asylum's fourth annual Free Jazz-Poetry Concert to protect and showcase endangered literary voices turns Sampsonia Way-a tiny inner-city alley on Pittsburgh's North Side-into a site of world-class performances spanning the disciplines of art, literature and music; featuring the world premiere of "What is Home?" from 7:30-9:30 p.m.The Andy Warhol Museum teams with the August Wilson Center for African American Culture for an OffThe-Wall presentation of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Dael Orlander-smith's "Stoop Stories." She's been described by The New York Times as "an other-worldly messenger, perhaps the sorcerer's apprentice, or a heaven-sent angel with the devil in her." See her Sept. 26 from 8-10 p.m. at the Warhol Theater, 117 Sandusky St. on the North Shore. For reservations, call 412-237-8300 or visit TicketWeb.com.See the full content of this document
