Top off your tank and head downtown — the Hippodrome Theatre’s summer musical tradition kicks into high gear with Pump Boys and Dinettes. This Tony-nominated crowd-pleaser hits the mainstage with twang, talent, and toe-tapping tunes. Set on Highway 57 between a gas station and the Double Cupp Diner, this high-spirited show blends country, rock, blues, and charm – all performed live by a cast that doubles as the band. No backing tracks, just powerhouse vocals, tight harmonies, and on-stage musicianship that makes every note count. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, this full-service musical is a ride worth taking. Sunday features a special talkback with the actors after the 2 p.m. performance.
