Godspell on Broadway - Revived in a Spectacular, Joyous Production

Godspell, the joyous and often poignant musical from Grammy- and Oscar-winning composer Stephen Schwartz, based on the Gospel of St. Matthew, needs little introduction today, but when it debuted Off Broadway in 1971, it broke new ground in its treatment of the historical Jesus. The current revival goes even further in the groundbreaking department. In fact, it’s a Godspell for a new generation.

Broadway 2011-2012 Preview - Viva November!

Think November is just a ho-hum interlude between Halloween and the mega holidays? Not in New York, my friends -- and especially not when Broadway dominates your calendar.

Catch Me If You Can - Broadway’s Bigger-Than-Life True Story

Word of mouth -- an underrated publicity bazooka if ever there was one -- along with theatrical daredevil Norbert Leo Butz’s off-the-chart rendition of “Don’t Break the Rules” on the 2011 Tony Awards broadcast, has (most deservedly, I might add) swept the high-octane musical comedy Catch Me If You Can out of the shadows and into an ever-expanding spotlight that has first-time audiences exiting the show in a “yowza” state of mind and ticket sales in a hearty upward spiral.

Within minutes of seeing the puppet horses in War Horse, you cease to view them as brilliantly crafted creations of molded cane, nylon, triggers, gears and cables.

One of Broadway’s most dynamic musical seasons ever is settling into summer with The Book of Mormon’s sell-out-status thermostat continuing to skyrocket and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, starring Daniel Radcliffe, flexing its box office muscle, propelled by the timely release of the final Harry Potter film.

Forever Fabulous - Anything Goes

Like most musical theatre lovers, I carry a special torch for the classics -- the more retro the better. When I first heard about the Roundabout Theatre's new revival of Anything Goes and the high-wattage cast and creative team committed to the project -- director/choreographer Kathleen Marshall, Tony winner Sutton Foster, Tony/Oscar winner Joel Grey, John McMartin, Jessica Walter, and on and on -- all I could think was, "Now here's a standing ovation waiting to happen."

Broadway Today - Big Names & Bountiful Buzz

In case you’re wondering ‘what’s up?’ on Broadway this spring, there’s a familiar warning you may want to heed: You Snooze, You Lose. At the very least you run the risk of wandering the Great White Way in a discombobulated state, not unlike Alice’s initial reaction to the contemporary musical Wonderland, currently on display at the Marquis Theatre.

Broadway in Bloom - First Arrivals of a Brave New Season

The running of the shows has begun: not the way hoards of bulls are sent lunging through the streets of Pamplona but -- as befits of all things arts- and culture-related -- in small, hopefully satisfying increments.

RAIN – A Tribute to the Beatles - One Theatre Says Good-Bye, and Another Says Hello!

A show has to be a darn impressive draw to merit an open-ended transfer to a different Broadway theater after an initial limited run on the Great White Way, but such is the case with RAIN – A Tribute to the Beatles which, after two extensions at the Neil Simon Theatre, is currently retro-rocking the 1,069-seat Brooks Atkinson Theatre five blocks south. Still, audience demand is audience demand and this is one concert/musical that nails the iconic Beatles repertoire.
