Christopher Barreca won the 2014 Tony Award for Best Scenic Design of a Musical for ROCKY. This is Christopher Barreca's first Tony nomination. His past scenic design work on Broadway includes Search and Destroy, Marie Christine, and The Violet Hour.

From the very first note, ONCE draws you in and never lets go. This emotionally captivating musical is the only show on Broadway to have music that won the Academy Award®, Grammy Award®, Olivier Award and Tony Award®. The New York Post says, this 'gem of a show wins its standing ovations the old-fashioned way: with a love story, great songs, compelling characters and inventive stagecraft.' BroadwayWorld is excited to bring you an exclusive look at the show's latest television commerical!

According to the Daily Mail, Irish pop star Ronan Keating will appear in the West End production of Once, beginning November 17, 2014, and continuing in the role of the busker (currently played by David Hunter) through March 21, 2015.

The National Theatre's production of The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-Time returns to the West End with a new company at the Gielgud Theatre. Simon Stephens' adaption of Mark Haddon's novel is directed for the stage by Marianne Elliott. The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-Time will preview at the Gielgud Theatre from 24 June 2014, with press night on 8 July, and is currently booking to 14 February 2015.

We all know the annoying trend of turning every well-regarded or sellable movie into a Broadway Musical. Do we really need a stage version of the popular film especially when that film is pretty much a musical already such as with the indie sleeper hit "Once"? Well, I don't know if we need it but in this case I'm actually glad we have it as they have taken this lovely romance and just simply let it be told through it's gorgeous music and some very simple staging and the result is a great big sigh (and maybe even a few tears) at the end of a truly entertaining evening.
