Moli re's TARTUFFE, as translated by Ranjit Bolt, is directed by Huntington Theatre Company's Artistic Director Peter DuBois and features an accomplished cast, led by Frank Wood and Brett Gelman.

The performance also includes an appearance by Juilliard-trained burlesque sensation, Marc Kenison, who performs in Seattle and beyond as Waxie Moon. Kenison will bring his comedic and dance stylings to the highly physical role of Ambrogio.

Nearly 10 years after this production garnered three Tony nominations in a Broadway run, it's back at the home that commissioned and created it: Children's Theater Company in Minneapolis. Based on Arnold Lobel's Caldecott and Newbery winning fables about friendship between Frog, a fairly organized fellow, and Toad, who is much less together, it models how we can bond with those unlike us, if we are kind, and we listen.

Children's Theatre Company (CTC) welcomes the return after 10 years of the audience favorite, A Year with Frog and Toad, which began last night, April 18, 2017. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

The Huntington Theatre Company opened its 35th anniversary season with Stephen Sondheim's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece Sunday in the Park with George. Performances run through October 16, 2016 at the Avenue of the Arts / BU Theatre.

SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE opens the Huntington Theatre Company's 2016-2017 season. Directed by Artistic Director Peter DuBois, with Music Direction by Eric Stern, it features a large and talented ensemble with a mix of Boston theater artists and those with Broadway credits. Jenni Barber is a delight as Dot/Marie, but Adam Chanler-Berat does not match her intensity as George. The production looks great, sounds good, but feels less filling than a Sondheim show should.

The cast of the Huntington Theatre Company's production of Sunday in the Park with George will perform the National Anthem on Friday, September 16, 2016, at ALS Awareness Night at Fenway Park before the televised Red Sox versus Yankees game at 7:10pm.

Performances will run September 9 - October 16, 2016 at the Avenue of the Arts / BU Theatre. Tickets are now on sale to the general public.
