Cristin Milioti and Steve Kazee star on Broadway in "Once."
The Providence Performing Arts Center will launch the national tours of three hit musicals this fall, including "Once," the bittersweet love story that won the 2012 Tony Award for Best Musical.
"Evita" and a reimagined "The Phantom of the Opera" kick off tours at PPAC as well.
Also in the lineup are a three-week run of "Wicked," which opens the day after Christmas, and -- to close out the season in April 2014 -- two weeks of "The Book of Mormon," perhaps the hottest ticket on Broadway.
"Ghost the Musical" and "Flashdance," both based on popular movies; the Peter Pan prequel "Peter and the Starcatcher;" he Queen tribute "We Will Rock You" and Broadway classic "Man of La Mancha" are also planned.
