POP COUTURE: Fashion, Fame & Obsession

Presented by Huntington Bank

Monday, April 20 | Heinz Hall, 600 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15222

A Fashion-Forward Dance Musical Exploring Art, Identity, and the Price of Being Seen

POP COUTURE: Fashion, Fame & Obsession is a bold, visually arresting dance-theatre musical that immerses audiences in the electrifying intersection of fashion, art, celebrity, and desire. Set against the backdrop of a transformative creative era, the production explores the rise of style as power—and the personal cost of living under constant attention.

Emerging from a city that turned industry into imagination, Pop Couture celebrates Pittsburgh’s legacy of bold art, striking image-making, and cultural influence. A place where media, fame, and experimentation reshaped how America experiences creativity.
