"It was a huge success from 2018 and just one of our biggest shows over the past 10 years, and we’re just really excited it’s returning so that theater fans not only around the Triangle, but around the state, will have the chance to see it again. And for some of those fans who didn’t see it the first time, now they have the opportunity," DPAC Senior Director of Marketing Rachel Traversari said.
DPAC had already announced shows for their 2019-2020 season, which included "Mean Girls" and "Aladdin."
