LATROBE, PA – Saint Vincent Summer Theatre (SVST) is set to continue its 55th season with “Showstoppers: A Broadway Musical Revue.” The show will run from July 8 through 13.
Following “Showstoppers” will be “Forever Plaid” (September 9–14) and “The Songs of the Season II: A Christmas Concert” (December 5–7).
“Showstoppers” is a look back on the musical history of the last 50 years and will feature many showstopping musical selections from many of the favorite musicals during that time, including “The Wiz,” “42nd Street,” “Cats,” “Les Misérables,” “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Wicked,” “Once” and “Hamilton”—all performed by Broadway veterans and a showstopping ensemble.
“It’s time to sit back and enjoy some of the most gorgeous and passionate music within the realms of the Broadway stage,” said Greggory Brandt, producing artistic director for SVST. “This cast is extremely talented and remarkably kind and has what it takes to pull off such challenging, memorable and showstopping music.”
The cast of “Showstoppers” includes JD Daw; Lori Eve Marinacci; David Toole; Madeline Grace Smith; Leah Prestogeorge; Malcolm McGraw; Brooks Brady; Reilly McKay, C’25; Andrew Downs, senior mathematics major; Abby McGinnis, senior music performance major; McKenna Howell; and Kaley Lazere, C’25.

Carey Student Center on campus. Each summertime production has eight performances with matinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 pm. Wednesdays and Saturdays will also have two performances.
