Romy and Michele are bringing the '90s straight to the stage! As previously announced, the world premiere musical adaptation of the 1997 cult comedy film ROMY & MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION has set a Summer 2017 debut at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre. And now BroadwayWorld has gotten wind of the cast for a recent reading of the musical.

The full cast has now been confirmed for the revival of the classic musical Parade, which will run for three and a half weeks at Manchester's newest arts venue.

A season of classic Shakespeare plays will take place at St George's Hall Liverpool to mark the 400th Anniversary of the Bard's death.

The new musical FLOWERS FOR MRS HARRIS has found its blooms.

NEW YORK, Nov 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Amulet Books, an imprint of ABRAMS, announced today that Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School, the tenth book in Jeff Kinney's blockbuster series, is the number one bestselling book in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Spain (Catalan), and across Asia.

Whitney and Max are participants in a 42-day residential clinical drug trial for a medication treating the symptoms of their Schizoid Personality Disorder. Having spent a majority of their lives living in intense and private worlds created and existing within their own mind, they wait in anxious anticipation of what their lives will become as the medication begins to slowly take effect. Rather than risk entirely losing the memory of their worlds to their treatment, they do what neither has done before and share the contents of their fantasies with one another. As their worlds slowly die, Whitney and Max replace the love and need that they have for their mental creations with real-world feelings for one another.

Broadway stars, Ashley Brown (Mary Poppins, Beauty & the Beast), who is currently starring as Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music at the Ahmanson Theater, and Marla Mindelle (Cinderella, Sister Act) will sing the songs of Lee, Long & Burns and sometimes Duncan in "Musi-Cal" at The Rockwell LA Table and Stage on Monday, October 5th at 8pm.
