Acclaimed Broadway performer Corey Cott and rising star Mikaela Bennett will headline Lyric Opera of Chicago's premiere of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's groundbreaking American musical West Side Story, presented from May 3 - June 2, 2019 at the Lyric Opera House, 20 N. Wacker Drive, Chicago (press opening May 4, 2019).

BROADWAY SESSIONS is described as an evening of musical performances, games and open mic featuring a new Broadway cast twice monthly. The show is created and hosted by Ben Cameron (Bway Wicked, Aida, Footloose, Dance Captain Dance Attack web series) and features musical director Joshua Stephen Kartes on piano. This Thursday night, 1/10, Broadway Sessions will welcome cast members from The New Group's sold out hit production of Clueless, The Musical and more.

Dove Cameron took to Instagram last night to share the reason she has been missing performances in Clueless, the sold-out off-Broadway musical in which she is starring.

We are kvelling! Original film star, Alicia Silverstone, recently paid a visit to the musical adaptation of her 1994 film Clueless. She stopped in backstage with the latest lady to walk in Cher Horowitz' Mary Janes, television star Dove Cameron, See their visit below!

Below, check out an exclusive clip of 'She's So High,' featuring Cameron and Brown!

The inherent problem with trying to craft a book musical around a score made of previously-existing hit songs is that the lyrics rarely match the character/situation specifics enough to keep the story moving. So film director/screenwriter Amy Heckerling tries finagling around that challenge in the new musical based on her 1995 coming-of-age romantic comedy, CLUELESS.
