Places, please! The David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts has announced its 2023-24 Broadway season, and the lineup ranges from musicals based on movies (“Beetlejuice,” “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “Moulin Rouge! The Musical”) to new productions of classics like “Funny Girl” and “Company.”

In addition to the nine-show Broadway series, The Straz will present three encore engagements: “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “The Book of Mormon” and “Les Misérables.”

Straz Center president and CEO Greg Holland said in a news release that the performing arts center is also working with the producers of London’s West End musical “Choir of Man” to create a Tampa-only production in the Jaeb Theater.
