Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Flashdance -- The Musical" will launch its national tour in Pittsburgh on Jan. 1, 2013.
The show will be presented at Heinz Hall as a presentation of the PNC Broadway Across America -- Pittsburgh series.
The musical follows Alex Owens, a working-class girl from Pittsburgh who spends her days working at a steel mill, her evenings performing as a dancer at a local bar and dreams of becoming a student at a prestigious dance academy.

Flashdance will translate well to the stage. It's got a fairly classic tale (hard working girl just wants to be a dancer), a fairly substantial following, either by die hard fans, or nostalgic middle aged women longing for their youth, and the crazy eighties pop and well, dancing all lend themselves to a successful tour. I'm sure the overall effect will be quite flashy.
