Thirty-two shows will enter, but only one can win. Are you ready for the ultimate Broadway musical throwdown?

How it Works

Broadway Bracket Brawl is a tournament-style competition. Past shows from our Broadway series will go head-to-head in a series of match-ups on the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s Instagram and Facebook channels (@culturaltrust). From March 18 - April 2, you can vote for your favorites each round to determine who will claim the championship title of Pittsburgh’s Favorite Musical. Voting will take place on Facebook Stories and Instagram Stories using the poll feature. You don’t have to submit a bracket to be able to vote, but it sure will make following the results even more fun.

Predicting the Winners

Which musical do you think will claim the championship on April 2? Which four will make it to the semi-finals? Which musicals won’t make it out of the first round of voting?
