Tickets go on sale Friday, February 1, 2013

Pittsburgh, PA:  Super WHY Live: You’ve Got the Power! is coming to Pittsburgh’s Byham Theater for the first time ever on Saturday, April 28, 2013, at 2:30pm.  Based on the top-rated, Emmy-nominated preschool TV series that airs on PBS KIDS everyday across the U.S., Super WHY Live brings entertainment and education together in a live show unlike any your family has seen before. It is sure to be unforgettable.  This performance is presented by Opus One, s2bn, and Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, part of the Cohen & Grigsby Trust Presents series.

Super WHY Live was written by Super WHY creator Angela Santomero, with music by Jack Antonoff, of the Grammy-nominated band “fun.” The show is produced by S2BN Entertainment (Yo Gabba Gabba! Live, Spider-Man on Broadway, and Rock of Ages: The Musical) in association with Out of the Blue Enterprises.

Super WHY Live will stop in 26 cities across the U.S. in April and May, taking kids and parents on a live reading adventure traveling inside a book to find the answer to the question, “Who has the Greatest Super Power in the World?” The show is uplifting, entertaining, and educational. It features kids’ favorite literacy-powered super heroes: Alpha Pig with “Alphabet Power,” Wonder Red with “Word Power,” Princess Presto with “Spelling Power,” Super Why with the "Power to Read," and their puppy pal Woofster.

Fans who want to sing along at the show can get a head start learning the music, as the soundtrack album, “Super WHY Live: You’ve Got the Power Soundtrack” from Razor & Tie is available now at iTunes, Amazon.com, and retailers nationwide.

Ticket prices start at $25.50 and are available at www.Trustarts.org, by phone:412-456-6666, or in person at the Box Office at Theater Square, 655 Penn Avenue.

Just a few of the nice things preview audiences have said:
