Dana Al Fardan News

BroadwayHD will debut the exclusive worldwide release of Broken Wings: The Musical and Sasha Regan’s All-Male H.M.S. Pinafore to their platform on September 22nd. 

I’m not sure I was prepared for what I witnessed as I sat in the round of the Charing Cross Theatre, awaiting the overture for Broken Wings which I’d heard so much buzz about. An adaptation of a poetic novel by Gibran Khalil Gibran, Broken Wings is pitched by Director Bronagh Lagan as being a “tale of first love, loss and identity”.

All new production photos have been released for the musical adaptation of Kahlil Gibran’s Broken Wings by Nadim Naaman and Dana Al Fardan.

Aria Entertainment today announces new dates for the musical adaptation of Kahlil Gibran's Broken Wings by Nadim Naaman and Dana Al Fardan; and for the newly re-imagined version of Zorro The Musical by Stephen Clark and Helen Edmundson, featuring music by the Gipsy Kings and John Cameron, with lyrics by Clark.
