A new trailer has been released for the most ambitious projection and animation driven musical at NYMF - the new Sci-FiRock n' Roll Comedy ILLUMINATI LIZARDS FROM OUTER SPACE. ILFOS is a feel good and funny new musical that will run at New York Musical Festival, July 8 - 13th at the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre. 

There's a saying - go big or go home. For the tenth anniversary of the center - for the very first time combining the talents of 44 members of MAS Community Theatre, and 22 chorus and band members under the direction of Mary Jo Hahn, and the Carrollwood Winds concert band under the direction of Joshua Hobbs - directors Paul Berg and Aaron Washington went HUGE.

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME DEBUTS FOR 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF at Carrollwood Cultural Center

There are few decades that elicit the kind of immediate, emotional and visceral response that you get when you mention the 1980s to anyone who was around during that era. There's just something about the 80s. The movies, the pop culture, the music, the politics, everything that went on during that decade seems to be somehow extra unique or extra special, especially to those who lived during those times. The hair band glam rock of the 80s gets the musical treatment in Rock of Ages, now running at the Lyric Theatre's home on the Plaza.

ROCK OF AGES at the Bank of America Theatre opened last night to an enthusiastic, packed house.

It seems that since the dawn of the new millennium, there has been an incredible surge in the appearance of new 'jukebox musicals.' This genre is comprised of shows made up of previously recorded and released songs, usually by a single band or artist, or connected to a specific theme. While there were a few of these in the late 1900's, the genre took off once the clock turned to 2000. Now, theaters are filled with them, showcasing the music of anyone from Billy Joel to Queen to Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan. After seeing the touring production of the jukebox musical Rock of Ages at Providence Performing Arts Center, it's hard to imagine that anything in the genre is as exciting, fun and perfectly pieced together as this spectacular musical combination of the glam-band hits of the late 1980s.
