In a vigorous virtuoso performance that demands to be seen, Jack Holden brings to exhilarating life a true-life crime story from half a century ago.

Three new shows will be part of National Theatre at Home's streaming service in 2025. The recently announced productions include Coriolanus, Death of England, and Waitress.

The Chicago run of ALI, the new musical celebrating the life and legacy of Muhammad Ali, has canceled what it had billed as a pre-Broadway engagement in Chicago.

It only premiered last October, but Death of England: Closing Time, the final chapter in Roy Williams and Clint Dyer’s state of the nation triptych, not only retains its spine-frosting freshness, but feels more dangerous than ever.

Muhammad Ali's wife, Lonnie Ali, and producer Richard Willis sat down with CBS News Chicago to talk about bringing the Broadway-Bound musical to Chicago.  Watch the full clip!

ALI, the new musical celebrating the life and legacy of Muhammad Ali, is set to premiere in Chicago next year, for an out of town run prior to Broadway. Watch an all new video featuring a song from the show here!

Some actors can play a role. Sure. Only a handful can inhabit it living and breathing. Even fewer are so convincing that you can’t imagine anyone else in their shoes. Paapa Essiedu is the latter. Without a doubt. Not even a second of doubt.

The guns fire loud and sonorous for the opening salvos of Clint Dyer and Roy Williams’s Death of England trilogy. A staggered premiere over four years at The National Theatre from 2020, new kid on the theatreland block @sohoplace (it’s really called that) have collated the trilogy (Michael, Delroy, and Closing Time) in rep in the West End.
