Hello gorgeous! FUNNY GIRL, only at MSMT!

Maine State Music Theatre is the first - and only - regional theatre to be granted the rights to produce Funny Girl since the Broadway National Tour launched. We chat with Kenny Ingram about the upcoming production.

We talk to Michael Feinstein about his upcoming show at Wolf Trap. You’ll get a kick out of the legendary career of the late Tony Bennett when Michael Feinstein and The Carnegie Hall Big Band perform a powerful tribute concert.

This 2022 revival of the 1964 musical is quite enjoyable, not because of its new changes (via director Michael Mayer and Harvey Fierstein's new book) but thanks mostly to its lead star McCrimmon, who is reason enough to see this touring iteration. The show continues at Segerstrom Center for the Arts (with co-star Melissa Manchester) through June 9.

Trapeze Music & Entertainment Limited/Acrobat Music has announced the release on July 5, 2024 of the 3-CD 73 track album Judy Garland: A Celebration, selections of which are included on the first volume of an LP of the same name. C

The beloved Broadway show FUNNY GIRL is set to grace Hartford's Bushnell this June, bringing its iconic story and music to life for theater enthusiasts.
