Welcome to the Schuster Center and Premier Health Broadway in Dayton!

Dayton Live is proud to welcome the national tour of MEAN GIRLS to the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center as part of Premier Health Broadway in Dayton. This hilarious hit musical comes from an award-winning creative team, including book writer Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), composer Jeff Richmond (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde), and director Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon). 

Huge thanks again to Premier Health as the sponsor of Broadway in Dayton series. We couldn’t do what we do here at Dayton Live without them. Their ongoing commitment to Dayton Live is integral to our success – and to the well-being of our community.

It’s fabulous to have Lexus of Dayton as the Official Luxury Vehicle of Premier Health Broadway in Dayton. Please thank them for their support and commitment to Dayton Live and the arts in Dayton. Our appreciation also goes to WHIO TV7 and WHKO K99.1FM radio, the official media sponsors of MEAN GIRLS.

While there are still two more shows to go on the 2021-2022 season -  FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, we’ve announced the 2022-2023 lineup – and I hope you’ll agree it’s a great one. Get ready for AIN’T TOO PROUD – THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TEMPTATIONS, Disney’s FROZEN, PRETTY WOMAN, and ANASTASIA, as well as the return of LES MIZ and LEGALLY BLONDE. And of course, there are still lots of performances this spring and summer from Dayton Live and our resident companies, Dayton Performing Arts Alliance, The Human Race Theatre Company, and Dayton Contemporary Dance Company. Get all the details at DaytonLive.org. 

Thank you for joining us for MEAN GIRLS - and for supporting the arts in Dayton!
