‘Mean Girls,’ ‘Blithe Spirit’
among theater offerings
It’s time once again for
opening nights and standing
ovations as Western Pennsylvania
theater companies
get ready to raise the curtain
on a new season of stage
productions.
Besides the classic familiar
favorites—“Cat on a Hot
Tin Roof,” “Les Miserables,”
“Chicago” and more—that
veteran theatergoers look
forward to revisiting, more
recent shows like “Legally
Blonde the Musical,” “Mean
Girls” and “The SpongeBob
Musical” will be vying for
audience approval.
