Pictured here is the touring company underneath the Orpheum Theatre marquee in Minneapolis.

What did our critic think of WICKED at Orpheum? So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. Wicked, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz ... but from a different angle.

It’s been almost 19 years since Wicked debuted on Broadway, but you would never know it by the reception Sacramento gave the national tour this week.  Read our critic's review of the show 'Wicked has lost none of its salability and the energy was palpable in the room in anticipation of the show that surpassed Les Miserables to become Broadway’s fifth longest-running musical.'

The Broadway sensation WICKED will welcome new cast members to the National Tour beginning performances Tuesday, March 22 at the First Interstate Center for the Arts in Spokane, WA.

What better way to ease ourselves back (again) to live theater than with a tried-and-true bonafide hit like the musical WICKED, the 19-year-old global stage phenomenon now back for a nice, long stay in Orange County's Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa through March 6, 2022. Still as vibrant, as thrilling, and as emotionally satisfying as ever, the show boasts a pair of impressive leading ladies that give fresh new life to these memorable characters. Lovely bonus: a trio of Broadway vets are along in supporting roles, too!  

Today's top stories include a new rule for critics being invited to The Music Man. Breaking from the Broadway tradition, the musical has invited critics to its opening night performance rather than to previews. Josh Groban is going on tour this summer! Plus, a new stage musical adaptation of the book 'The Last Unicorn' is in the works with Fergie attached.

Lisa Howard will take over the role of Madame Morrible in the National Tour of WICKED, beginning performances tomorrow February 1, 2022 at Centennial Hall in Tucson, AZ. 

Meet all of the Broadway actors in THE GILDED AGE! The new series features appearances by Audra McDonald, Denée Benton, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Kelli O'Hara, Carrie Coon, Claybourne Elder, Donna Murphy, Katie Finneran, Debra Monk, Taylor Richardson, Douglas Sills, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Patrick Page, Michael Cerveris, and more.

After a successful first showing, Scott Coulter's singing competition returns for another year.

 Jen Namoff, the industry veteran with more than 15 years of experience, today announced the formation of Namoff & Company, a bi-coastal, full-service Talent Management & Production Company representing clients across television, film, music, and theater. 

Highlights of the night were Shaieb’s THE HOUSE WHERE I GREW UP AT CHRISTMAS, Mariah Carey’s ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU (a total home run) and her encore, Stephen Schwart’s MEADOWLARK - a theatre opus that she still managed to make sound Christmassy. 

Last Night at Feinstein’s 54 Below, Lisa Howard was “The Belle Of The Ball” and did a show unlike anything “I” had ever seen.

Lisa Howard and collaborator Michael Shaieb have worked hard to create a holiday album that is fresh, new, and different from all the others... at least, that's what they did, whether the wanted to or not.
