Suite Life: A Celebration of Billy Strayhorn & Gene Kelly
We’re saving your seat in the Suite!
Suite Life, KST’s annual family holiday tradition, celebrates our namesakes and Pittsburgh legends Billy Strayhorn and Gene Kelly. To honor their legacy, come groove to a Cuban beat as we welcome back musical director Hugo Cruz, who incorporates Latin percussion to reimagine their works. With direction by Pria Dahiya, lighting design by El Wolhardt, and special musical guests, the evening promises a fresh take on beloved standards the whole family can enjoy.
This season our most devoted supporters to the VIP Soundcheck Reception are invited to enjoy:
Early entry at 6:00 p.m.
