Arthur Laurents News

What did our critic think of WEST SIDE STORY at The Noel S. Ruiz Theatre At CM Performing Arts Center?

Regarded by many theatre professionals as the finest musical ever created, Gypsy is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters’ success – while secretly yearning for her own. Set all across America in the 1920s and 30s, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born, Arthur Laurents’ landmark show explores the world of two-bit show business with brass, humor, heart and sophistication. Performances run Aug. 23, 24, 30, & 31 @ 7:30pm and Aug. 25, & Sept. 1 @ 2pm at Columbus Performing Arts Center, Van Fleet Theatre, 549 Franklin Ave, Columbus, Ohio 43125.

Repasamos los espectáculos que llenarán las carteleras en España en la nueva temporada.

The Alhambra Theater and Dining has announced its upcoming production of the beloved Broadway classic, 'Gypsy, a Musical Fable,' set for August 22 through September 29.

Watch Patti Lupone sing 'Some People' from Gypsy at Carnegie Hall.

Doug Devita’s Fable makes its World Premiere as it anchors center stage right in the heart of St. Petersburg, to tackle the story of the Mother of all musicals. Fable tells the story about the creative differences and feuds that arise following the mounting of yet another revival of Gypsy. In the story Gypsy Rose Lee, June Havoc, and their mother June Hovic are seen at different points in their lives, and how they come to terms with the mounting of Gypsy. Featuring original music & lyrics by freeFall’s Resident Music Director Michael Raabe, and featuring the talent of an incredible Company of performers, Devita’s Fable is a beautiful masterclass in sisterhood, family, and truth above all else.

In April 2024, Carnegie Hall welcomed Broadway legend and three-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone back for “A Life in Notes”! See video of her performance of 'I Dreamed a Dream' from Les Miserables here!

'FABLE' offers a fresh perspective on Ethel Merman, focusing on her most exaggerated and stereotypical personality traits. 'We get to see how she may have engaged in the creative process knowing full well that she's walking into this project already a bankable star.'

Amy Sherman-Palladino makes her Broadway writing debut this season with her adapted book for Once Upon a Mattress, which opens on Monday, August 12. Mattress isn't her first try at rewriting a musical, however. She was called on to pen a new script for a new film adaptation of Gypsy and she recalls the experience in a recent interview.

This time, the reader question was: Have there been a lot of Sondheim productions in New York City since the legendary composer and lyricist passed away?
