THE NOTEBOOK, the musical based on Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel and iconic film, will play Broadway In Chicago's James M. Nederlander Theatre for a limited two-week engagement, featuring music by Ingrid Michaelson.

Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater announced the full cast and creative team for CrazySexyCool – The TLC Musical.

The National Tour of KIMBERLY AKIMBO will be making its final stop of the tour in New Haven, CT. The production will play May 14–17 at the Shubert Theatre before the curtain comes down on the national tour for good.

Billy Porter will soon return to the stage as Albin in the upcoming Encores! production of La Cage aux Folles, starring opposite Wayne Brady as Georges. Watch Porter praise the talents of his co-star during a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Bevelations.

“The Notebook” isn’t aiming for subtlety; it’s aiming straight for your heart. Judging by the collective sniffles, gasps, and tears around the theater, it hits its mark.

The complete cast has been revealed for Encores! La Cage Aux Folles. Tony Award winner Tonya Pinkins joins the cast as Jacqueline, along with Peter Francis James as Edouard, and Rachel Webb as Anne.

Get a peek behind the scenes of Encores! La Cage Aux Folles with Billy Porter, Director Robert O’Hara, and Guest Music Director Joseph Joubert. Watch as Porter sings Albin’s first big number in the show, “A Little More Mascara,” and talks with Joubert and O’Hara about the process of approaching the music and the character. 

London theatre's biggest night returned for its 2026 ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall, where Nick Mohammed hosted the Olivier Awards. Check out a full list of winners here.

Think of the greatest songs you’ve never heard - the soaring melodies, the unexpected anthems, the driving beats, the lyrics that speak to a feeling you didn’t know could be expressed in words. Unlike most straight plays, this opus has its own musical score, and good one by Will Butler. And that is the projected end-product taking shape at the hoped for conclusion/finale of “Stereophonic,” now playing in the gorgeous Muriel Kauffman Opera House through Sunday April 11.
