Renee Elise Goldsberry, winner of the Tony Award for the role of Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton, opens MPAC’s 28th season on Friday, September 30.
MPAC’s lineup features over 60 events, with many more to be added throughout the season. The 2022-2023 season continues MPAC’s return to a full schedule after two years of rebuilding from COVID rescheduling, postponements and cancellations.
“It has been wonderful seeing so many people returning to MPAC over the past year to enjoy live entertainment again,” said Allison Larena, President and CEO, MPAC. “Our 2022-2023 season builds upon this momentum with a full lineup including Broadway headliners, pop favorites, family shows, dance, world music and much more that create so many diverse opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to reconnect with the performing arts.”
In addition to Ms. Goldsberry, another Hamilton Tony-winner, Leslie Odom, Jr., makes his MPAC debut with a holiday concert in December. Additional Broadway stars to grace MPAC’s stage include Lea Salonga (May 13, 2023) and Kristin Chenoweth (April 29, 2023).
MPAC’s lineup features a diverse variety of performances representing all genres of the performing arts, including comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Paula Poundstone, music favorites David Foster and Katharine McPhee, Michael Bolton, Richard Marx and Chris Isaak, family events including Peppa Pig’s Adventure and Disney Junior’s Costume Palooza, spectacles like The Illusionists and Cirque Zuma Zuma, Latin Grammy winner Nella, the annual return of New Jersey Ballet’s Nutcracker and much more.
