Joyce Bender knows how challenging it can be for hardworking people with
disabilities to find good jobs. That’s why she’s dedicated herself to helping connect
them with the businesses that support and hire them. Like Highmark. Because
Joyce knows that, when it comes to a company doing all they can to build strong
communities and provide equal opportunities for all, you’re better with Blue.

Joseph C. Guyaux
Senior Vice Chairman
Dear Friends,
Welcome! We are once again pleased to serve as premier
sponsor of the Pittsburgh CLO’s PNC Spotlight Series.
Each year the CLO delights and entertains audiences from
across our region and beyond. And this season is no different
with all-new productions of timeless classics and modern
masterpieces.
The PNC Spotlight Series performances and other presentations
by the CLO are important elements of Pittsburgh’s thriving
Cultural District, which attracts thousands of visitors to
Pittsburgh every year and helps to distinguish our community
as the most livable place in America. We are thrilled to continue
PNC’s long and rewarding relationship with the Civic Light Opera
and look forward to another wonderful season.
Thank you for being here and supporting one of the region’s rich
cultural assets. Enjoy the show.
Sincerely,
Welcome to Legally Blonde The Musical, which debuted in the spring of 2007 at the legendary
Palace Theatre on Broadway. Included in its seven Tony Award® nominations were Best
Choreography by Jerry Mitchell (Tony®-winner for Best Choreography of Kinky Boots on Broadway);
Best Original Score by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin (O’Keefe co-wrote the music, lyrics
and book of the new Off-Broadway show Heathers: The Musical), and Best Book of a Musical by
Heather Hach. Based on the novel “Legally Blonde” by Amanda Brown and the 2001 MGM film, the
cast included Pittsburgh’s Christian Borle as Emmet, Kate Shindle as Catherine (Nancy in our 2009
production of Oliver!) and Andy Karl, now starring in Rocky on Broadway.
This is our first residency production of Legally Blonde, though six years ago we premiered the
Broadway National Tour in our Summer Series. We occasionally offer you “Pittsburgh firsts” direct
to you from Broadway when it’s a show we’ve been involved with. To get brand new titles in our
season we occasionally pool resources with other non-profit theaters to create a shared, limited
tour (such as last summer’s Disney’s The Little Mermaid), or work with a combination of non-profit
and commercial producers on shows like today’s and recent shows The Addams Family, Twyla
Tharp’s Come Fly Away, and this summer’s highly-anticipated National Tour of Evita (July 8-13).
New musicals are vital to our survival as a regional theater that revives the classics (today’s shows
may become tomorrow’s classics), so it comes naturally to us to strategically support an industry
in search of the next Fiddler on the Roof. Legally Blonde and our upcoming production of Monty
Python’s Spamalot are examples of new musicals that in our Audience Survey you asked us to
revive, and they’re enjoying revivals by other theater companies regionally, internationally, and
on the amateur circuit too: At this year’s Gene Kelly Awards for Excellence in High School Musical
Theater, three of the nine “Best Musical” contenders were shows we had a hand in bringing to
Broadway: Thoroughly Modern Millie, Monty Python’s Spamalot and Catch Me if You Can, and in
years past we’ve seen student productions of Curtains, Legally Blonde, 9 to 5 and Copacabana.
We love creating entertainment that is appropriate for the whole family. This is my seventeenth
year of producing musicals at Pittsburgh CLO and I can tell you first hand that seeing new
generations of theater lovers enjoying themselves at any show, classic or new, never grows old.
Thank you for being here.
Enjoy the show!

Construction
Center
Setting the Stage
Great live theater is created by an intricate web of
talented artists, craftsman and performers who invite
audiences to suspend reality for a few hours and
join them in the magic of live theater. Long before
the curtain goes up, work begins behind the scenes
to set the stage for these remarkable productions.
Sets, backdrops and costumes all play a vital role in
bringing a musical to life on stage.
Since 1974, Pittsburgh CLO’s Construction Center for
the Arts has defined itself as one of the largest, most
cost-efficient set-building facilities in the country.
Locally, the Construction Center builds quality sets
for Pittsburgh CLO’s critically-acclaimed Summer
Season, the CLO Cabaret, CLO’s Gallery of Heroes inschool musical series and other local performing arts
organizations.
Most recently, “the shop” built the set for the current
CLO Cabaret hit Ring of Fire, the world premiere
of Judge Jackie Justice, The Trials of Love and the
Gallery of Heroes’ production of The Invention of
Edison. In addition, over the past year, it created
sets for the Cabaret productions of A Grand Night
for Singing, You Say Tomato, I Say Shut-Up! and
Side By Side By Sondheim. It has also completed
projects for local companies and events including
KDKA-TV, the Three Rivers Arts Festival, the Carnegie
Science Center and the National Aviary, including its
FliteZone™ Theater.
L to R: Paul Koudouris, Nicole Stefonek & Jon Rohlf
Photo: Pittsburgh CLO
The Construction Center works on the national stage
as well, creating sets for Broadway productions;
National Tours including the recent tour of Buddy, the
Buddy Holly Story; and regional theaters throughout
the United States. The film and television industry
also continue to rely on the Construction Center’s
team of seasoned professionals to build state-of-theart sets and set pieces.
In addition, “the shop” serves as a storage facility for
some of today’s most sought-after sets, and through
its affordable set rental program, offers regional
theaters throughout the United States a viable option
to set construction.
This important work has a positive economic impact
beyond the stage, employing local designers, scenic
artists, technical staff and both shop and road
carpenters. The Construction Center is pivotal to
Pittsburgh CLO’s continued success both locally and
as a leader in the creation of new musicals.
Gallery of Heroes
Bringing The Magic of Musical Theater
to Our Schools
Today’s youth are more entertainment savvy than any
generation that has come before. They see movies in
3D, watch television programs
“on demand” and have an
extensive library of video games
at their fingertips. Yet, despite
being plugged into endless
sources of digital fun, many
have never experienced the
magic of live musical theater.
Each year however, Pittsburgh
CLO is able to introduce more
than 40,000 area students
to this remarkable art form
through its acclaimed Gallery of
Heroes in-school musical series.
For nearly 30 years, this innovative program has
touched the lives of students in urban, suburban
and rural communities throughout the Tri-State area
by taking them on a journey through the pages of
our nation’s history with some of Pittsburgh’s finest
professional actors.
Each fifty-minute fully-staged and choreographed
Gallery of Heroes musical highlights the lives and
accomplishments of significant historical figures and
offers an entertaining alternative to traditional
lectures and books. Past productions have
taught students about the lives of important
historical figures such as Thomas Edison
in The Invention of Edison, Neil Armstrong
in Footprints on the Moon, Harriet Tubman
in Freedom Train and Roberto Clemente in
¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! The Roberto Clemente Story.
In addition, Pittsburgh’s rich history has been
portrayed in shows including The Incredibly
Innovative Innovators of Pittsburgh and Steel.
Pittsburgh CLO also helps teachers integrate
these important history lessons into their
classroom activities with study guides that meet
state academic standards and fun-filled student
handouts.
The 2015 spring tour will feature a new musical
commissioned for the Gallery of Heroes program.
Written by Pittsburgh native and Pittsburgh
CLO Alumni Joe Domencic, The Next Galileo
is the story of Gabriella, a shy seventh grade
girl from Pittsburgh who, with the help of
an enchanted history book, goes on an
amazing trip back in time to the classroom of
Galileo Galilei. There, she meets the famous
astronomer and learns firsthand from the
“father of science” how to employ the scientific
method, build a telescope, and seek the truth
no matter what the consequences. Through
their remarkable friendship that spans four
centuries, Gabriella and Galileo take the
audience on a trip that champions the joy of
science and the wonder of discovery.
For more information, or If you are interested in
bringing this new musical to your school, please call
412-325-6459 or visit pittsburghCLO.org. If you
or your company would be interested in sponsoring
a performance of The Next Galileo for a deserving
school please contact Wynne Fedele at
412-281-3973 x 232.
