Riverside Theatricals is dedicated to creating original works from script to score in partnership with other producers and creators of new works for development, producing and touring opportunities.

Riverside Theatricals, LLC participation as one of the producers of Mystic Pizza began in 2022 with the goal among fellow producer/collaborators McCoy Rigby Entertainment and Lively McCabe Entertainment for the musical to begin a national tour once its run at Riverside Theatre ends January 2025.

Each producing partner has a financial stake in the show and there are hopes that after a long, successful and profitable touring season in 2026, this latest version of Mystic Pizza – from its Riverside Theatre/Vero Beach “launching pad” – will eventually make a landing on Broadway. 

Lively McCabe owns rights to the show and developed the work; McCoy Rigby’s specialty is to tour musicals and Riverside Theatre invested in the production, built part of the sets and provided the location for it to launch its tour.

Mystic Pizza’s Paper Mill Playhouse February 2025 run and subsequent touring will lead to further opportunities.
