Audra McDonald and the company of Broadway's Gypsy, are set to visit The Late Show with Stephen Colbert today, May 22 for a performance of the Tony-nominated production of the musical.

The Encore Musical Theatre Company will present West Side Story, the groundbreaking Broadway musical inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, running for a strictly limited five weeks from June 5 through July 6 on The Encore's Maas Main Stage. 

Three of this season’s plays and two of this season’s musicals are already getting revived for the second or third time this century! Twenty-five years into the 21st century and Broadway has already seen multiple revivals of Glengarry Glen Ross, Our Town, Romeo and Juliet, Gypsy, and Sunset Boulevard. 

The results of the 2025 Tony races are very much still up in the air, but many of this season's nominated revivals have been Tony-tested before. How did they fare?

The Argenta Contemporary Theatre in North Little Rock spotlighted Arkansas theatre royalty with its bold and emotionally rich production of Gypsy: A Musical Fable, which captivated audiences from April 9–19. This golden-age musical, considered one of Broadway’s most enduring masterpieces, was brought to life with striking precision and artistry that riveled any Broadway show. With a book by Arthur Laurents, score by Jule Styne, and lyrics by a young Stephen Sondheim, Gypsy demands both powerhouse performances and thoughtful direction—and Argenta delivered on all fronts.
