Post Gazette: Oh, what a feeling: "Flashdance -- The Musical," the stage adaptation of the movie that was shot in Pittsburgh, will open on Broadway in the fall, then launch its national tour at Heinz Hall on New Year's Day 2013.
Casting and additional cities for the touring company, coming here as part of the PNC Broadway Across America -- Pittsburgh series, will be announced in the coming months.

I think that its great for a musical like this to start off, premiering in Pittsburgh, rather than a New York Broadway stage-- staying true to the steel industry hometown this film was shot in. Unlike other movie turned musicals I might have otherwise considered "uncreative" in script, I hope that this one adds a little something different and unexpected. In knowing that the tour would begin by 2013, I think this would be a great opportunity for students to watch this new show.. Ill be sure to look out for it when it hits any Pittsburgh theater!
