The absolutely captivating Indie Pop group Sub-Radio have teamed up with Vanyaland to premiere the music video for 'Dreamcatcher' today. Paired with the effervescent quality of the recently released single, the video perfectly illustrates that moment of 'What If' when you first see that person that could forever change your life. Fans can watch the video today below! 

Doug Nevin and Michael Urie, in partnership with Rattlestick Playwrights Theater closed out the Pride Plays' festival of play readings commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, with a benefit reading of Terrence McNally's Some Men, helmed by Logan Reed, on June 24 at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater.

D.C. - based indie pop group Sub-Radio have released their latest single,'Dreamcatcher' today. The effervescent and bright-eyed track is a story of true appreciation and love. 'We've almost never written a straightforward 'love song,' and almost looked at it like a challenge. Big primary-color emotions are tricky to convey. 'Dreamcatcher' started as a demo, a gift for one of our girlfriends, and transformed into something we all love' shares Adam Bradley (Vocals) on the track. Fans can stream 'Dreamcatcher' today. 

Our Paris Contributor Michael Pereira found time the other day to ask the dashing Alexis Loizon some questions for BroadwayWorld. Alexis is currently starring as Danny Zuko in Grease at the Mogador Theatre.

This musical finds its heart when Cylia who plays Nikki Marron starts to sing. Ms. Cylia possesses a luscious voice that wraps itself around the notes and lyrics and delivers them with purity and warmth. She is a joy to look at and hear.

The much beloved 1987 cult hit Dirty Dancing has been transformed into a live stage show and cha-cha'd its way to Paris and now tours the rest of France. The 1st version of this show played in London and became the fastest selling show in West End history. This story takes place in the Catskills and revolves around the teenage Baby (Gaelle Pauly) and hot dance teacher Johnny (Benjamin Akl). It is always a challenge bringing a film to the stage due to the limited space, but it was dutifully done by director David Eguren and choreographer Coretin Mazo.

Old Hollywood glamour has come to Le Grand Palais in the form of Chatelet's production of Singing in the Rain.

BroadwayWorld presents a comprehensive weekly roundup of regional stories around our Broadway World, which include videos, editor spotlights, regional reviews and more. This week, we feature BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, ANNIE, and More!

Last night, I saw the completely charming production of 'La Famille Addams' at Th tre Le Palace. This musical written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice with words and music by Andrew Lippa is based on popular American cartoon strip 'The Addams Family' which later became a television series with a huge cult following. I fondly recall watching this series when I was a boy. Mr. Charles Addams' characters have also appeared in two Hollywood feature films. I would say it would be hard to find someone who hasn't heard of this kooky family.

After spending 22 years as a working and teaching professional in New York City, Michael decided to follow his instincts and try living and working in Paris.
