SUMMARY:Mystic Pizza
DESCRIPTION:Big League Productions proudly launched its new production of Mystic Pizza: A New Musical at the Clemens Center in Elmira, New York on September 26, 2026. Based on the beloved movie classic that launched Julia Roberts’ career, this sparkling musical depicts best friends Kat, Daisy, and Jojo’s search for love and self-identity as they face life’s many unexpected twists and turns. Packed with chart-topping ‘80s and ‘90s hits, this entertaining show celebrating Mystic, Connecticut’s iconic pizza joint will tour the USA with a stop at the Fox Theatre as part of the 2026-27 Fox Theatre Series presented by Fifth Third Bank, for three shows from Friday, January 22 through Saturday, January 23.Mystic Pizza is based on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Motion Picture with Story and Characters by Amy Holden Jones.
