JEKYLL & HYDE, SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE, et al. Coming to the Big Screen Worldwide

Suervision Media and Broadway Worldwide have plans to bring a handful of Broadway favorites to the big screen in the near future- Memphis, Jekyll & Hyde, Putting It Together, and Smokey Joe's Cafe will all make their way to theatres around the world. Memphis will reach the UK and Ireland in November, and South Africa and Hong Kong later this year. The other three shows will reach Europe January- March 2012, and then the rest of the world in April.

PUTTING IT TOGETHER is award-winning composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim's humorous, poignant and sophisticated musical "review" of material taken from a number of his original musicals. Interweaving the emotions and relationships of five guests attending a Manhattan cocktail party, PUTTING IT TOGETHER includes numbers from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anyone Can Whistle, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Sunday In The Park With George, Assassins, the film Dick Tracy, and an unproduced television musical, Do You Hear A Waltz?

JEKYLL & HYDE THE MUSICAL was the longest-running show in the history of Broadway's Plymouth Theatre, with over 1500 performances. The show won a legion of repeat visitors, dubbed by the press as "Jekkies", with some hardcore fans having seen the show hundreds of times. Performers as diverse as The Moody Blues, Liza Minnelli and Johnny Mathis have recorded songs from the show, including "Someone Like You", "This Is The Moment" and "Once Upon A Dream."

SMOKEY JOE'S CAFÉ: The Songs of Leiber and Stoller features the original Tony Award®-nominated cast performing 40 songs that provided the soundtrack to the lives of a generation of Americans. Incredibly, they are all the work of a single songwriting team, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Their extraordinary list of hits includes "Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog," "Treat Me Nice," "Stand By Me," "Spanish Harlem," and appropriately, "On Broadway" - an unprecedented string of hits that defined the 50's and early 60's. The Coasters, The Drifters, Peggy Lee and Elvis Presley all had their biggest hits with Leiber/Stoller songs.

SMOKEY JOE'S CAFÉ received a Grammy Award® as well as seven Tony Award® nominations, including Best Musical. It has the distinction of being the longest-running musical revue in Broadway history. The show was directed on Broadway by four-time Tony® winner Jerry Zaks.

MEMPHIS features a Tony®-winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) and a Tony®-winning original score with music and lyrics composed by David Bryan, Grammy Award® winning keyboard player and founding member of Bon Jovi. Directed by Tony® nominee Christopher Ashley (Xanadu) with choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys), the all-star cast features Tony® nominee Chad Kimball, Tony® nominee Montego Glover, Derrick Baskin, J. Bernard Calloway, James Monroe Iglehart, Tony® nominee Michael McGrath and Cass Morgan.
