Below, BroadwayWorld is excited to give you a sneak peek of the new book, with a look at: The Edison Theatre...

Jane Edwina Seymour, who has been enjoying a successful career in LA for the last few years, will return to Sydney to direct an incredible, home-grown cast in Carol Hall's astounding 8-piece play, Days Are as Grass, as part of the 2016 Depot Theatre Season.

This particular production is winner. There's plenty to enjoy about The Playhouse's production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. The campy, over-the-top farce is wildly entertaining, and overall it's a feast for the eyes and ears.

A new book tells the true story of the infamous brothel that inspired the hit Broadway musical.

As BroadwayWorld reported last week, Rob Ashford just directed a private industry reading of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas with an all-star cast, including Broadway favorite Kristen Chenoweth. Now according to her recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the show might go on to have a life on Broadway. She explains: 'I think there is financing in place and I think it has to be a decision we can make and I have another show that I'm involved with about Tammy Faye Bakker. It's all about timing.'

BroadwayWorld has just learned that there will be a private industry reading today, June 29, of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, with direction by Rob Ashford.
