Andrew Lloyd Webber News

The Stage has announced its 2020 list of most influential people in theatre.

With 2019 coming to a close, the new decade is set to bring us a slew of film adaptations of our favorite stage musicals! From West Side Story to In the Heights to The Prom, we are gearing up for some big films, but before we move into 2020, let's have a look back on the last ten years of musicals turned into films!

According to Variety, the new Cats film is expected to suffer a $100 million loss, after making just $38 million globally in its first two weeks in theaters.

freeFall Theatre, American Stage, Jobsite, Stageworks and a slew of community theatre companies all promise exciting shows this year.

As the decade comes to a close on Broadway, we're doling out some good, old-fashioned superlatives to acknowledge some of the best and brightest theatre people, show elements, and productions that have made this decade one of the best in Broadway history.

Universal has pulled Cats from its 'For Your Consideration' page, officially deeming the film ineligible for Oscar nominations. The page lists Universal's films that are qualified for Oscars, accompanied by a guide to their categories and a list of screenings for each film.

How do we love thee, 2019? Let us count the ways! Eleven musicals opened on Broadway in 2019, making way for dozens of jaw-dropping performances from seasoned veterans, fresh faces, and everyone in between.

There's a Christmas party on Broadway and everyone is invited!

Are they still hungry? Do they want a head scratch? We all have wondered what are our pets thinking at some point, and due to the bond shared, we are usually able to make a good guess. What about the alleycats that we pass on the streets? With eyes that track our every movement. The times where I am walking my dog at night, they crouched amongst the bushes with an arch back and ready to pounce. To help us better understand these elusive beings, 'CATS' has returned to the Sands Theater, Marina Bay Sands!

Andrew Lloyd Webber's timeless classic, CATS, hits the big screen this week! Now the soundtrack is yours to stream!

Det var över hundra sökande till rollen som Maria Magdalena; även videoansökningar från andra länder då musikalen ska spelas på originalspråket engelska. Efter en audition i Stockholm i början av december står det klart att rollen går till soulsångerskan Laila Adéle. Traditionellt sett har Maria Magdalena ofta porträtterats som det vackra, väna kärleksintresset som trånar efter en man. Rollbesättarna var eniga om det är förlegat och kallade därför sångerskor som oftast inte är påtänkta för den här rollen till audition.

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents The On Broadway Dream Connector Showcase. Broadway's Rema Webb (upcoming production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Unmasked, Disney's Hercules, Escape to Margaritaville, The Lion King, The Book of Mormon, Violet, The Color Purple) has long believed in the power of dreams. She's chased them, caught them, and made them real - challenges and fears be darned. For some time now, she's also been committed to helping young aspiring performers realize the power of their own dreams through her non profit organization.

The memory and the music lives again in theatres today, December 20, as Cats opens in big screens around the world. An ensemble cast brings the classic to life in a big way, performing the musical's best-known songs, as well as some new ones.

Singer and actor, Chris Mann, will be performing at Feinstein's / 54 Below in NYC, where he will sing tribute to one of his idols, Tony Bennett! The show, Bennett--From Gershwin to Gaga: An Evening with Chris Mann and the Tony Bennett Songbook will take place on Wednesday, January 15th at 9:30PM.

Jason Derulo was a guest on Thursday's episode of GMA3: Strahan, Sara, & Keke to talk about playing Rum Tum Tugger in the Cats film!

Jennifer Hudson stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote her film, Cats, which is out in theaters today!

In preparation for their roles in the new 'Cats' film, director Tom Hooper hosts a workshop with some core members of the cast. Watch as Tom and head cat James Corden train Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Jason Derulo, Rebel Wilson and Francesca Hayward, and evaluate which one will take home Best In Show.

Mondays are made for Musicals. There might be no better way to start the week than with a lovely concert on a cold December night. Imagine a bunch of talented Artists, gathered together for a very intimate concert, like the ones at Feinstein's/54 Below. The only difference is, you can't buy any tickets, you had to put your name into a hat and if you are lucky enough you got an invitation for this unique and free event.

Following critically acclaimed, sold-out engagements in the UK, the reimagined 50th Anniversary tour of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR will come to the Detroit Opera House, February 4 a?" 9, 2020.

Melissa McCarthy was the guest host on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Wednesday night, filling in for Corden, who is in New York filming the screen adaptation of The Prom. During her show, McCarthy and her friend Allison Janney sat down to talk about the big year they've had in movies; however, they did share the few scenes they had cut in films like Cats, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and Little Women.
