Call Jenna Maroney! MYSTIC PIZZA musical hopes to premiere at Ogunquit Playhouse in 2021

There are several movies that I've thought would make excellent musicals. I've had this in my top 3 and I really hope to be able to see this whenever it premieres!

Eight slices of pizza a week can have a bigi impact.

Mystic Pizza will feature Rayanne Gonzales as Leona, Joel Perez (Broadway’s Fun Home) as Tim, Garrett Marshall as Bill & Corey Mach (Broadway’s Kinky Boots) as Charles.

How will this affect the Rural Juror musical?

I don't think Engeman is known for pre-Broadway shows. But hey anything is possible. I'd imagine it would just tour or go the regional route.
