Performances of Moulin Rouge! The Musical will resume this evening at the Piccadilly Theatre with a new official Opening Night set for Sunday 9 January 2022.

Next to Normal the Pop/Rock, Tony Award, and Pulitzer Prize Winning Musical By Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey will find itself revived in an all new, star studded production this coming January at Stagebrush Theatre. The production stars Broadway's Les Miserables' Stephanie Likes joined by her son Casey Likes.

The show will be directed by Newly Appointed Redhouse Artistic Director Temar Underwood with choreography by Stephfond Brunson. As the first show of the season and the first live experience, Redhouse looked to choose a show that was joyful, fun and celebratory with an eye towards diversity and inclusion.

Company has officially returned to Broadway as of November 15. Meet the current cast and learn more about who is bringing this production to the stage!

The Nashville Ballet is preparing to take the stage once again after a year of challenges that included the global pandemic and water damage to their theatre, Andrew Jackson Hall. 

The story of Afong Moy, the central character in Lloyd Suh’s THE CHINESE LADY, now running at Artists Rep, so perfectly captures the American tendency to exotify, stereotype, and disparage other cultures that I should not have been surprised to learn that it’s true.

Historical themes have always been incorporated into stage shows, from classic Broadway musicals to contemporary productions. Contrary to what some may believe, not all historical-themed productions are old Broadway musicals. Several historical musicals have gone on to become classics, though this is not specifically a golden age musicals list.

Fiasco Theater will begin its new Without A Net series – where shows are table-worked, thrown on their feet, and shared with an audience in only two weeks – with three nights of performances of IMOGEN SAYS NOTHING by Aditi Brennan Kapil from November 18-20, 2021 at The Connelly Theater (220 E 4th St).

I’m happy to admit that while I am indeed euphoric, I remain clear-eyed in the knowledge that this particular cultural offering is unique in its storytelling and in the characters who will live for years to come until the very last person who remembers experiencing the exhilaration of the return of live Broadway theater to Nashville speaks their names for the last time.

Coming home to the theater – even when it means returning to a role he first played more than two years ago – is a surreal experience for Joe Joseph, the thoughtful, reflective and multi-talented University of Michigan graduate now playing Haled in the national touring company of The Band’s Visit, the 2019 Tony Award-winning best musical.
