With its timeless theme of 'tradition,' FIDDLER ON THE ROOF is a musical that speaks anew to every generation -- now the beloved show, which premiered on Broadway in 1964, is back in an acclaimed new production at the Broadway Theatre starring Danny Burstein and Jessica Hecht, directed by Bartlett Sher.
Show Boat, the first great serious Broadway musical, combined the talents of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II. The story, which spans almost fifty years, follows the lives, loves, and losses of a troupe of riverboat performers aboard the Cotton Blossom floating theater on the mighty Mississippi. Its timeless score contains some of the most beautiful and emotionally charged songs ever written for a musical, including 'Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man' and 'Make Believe.' "Ol' Man River", is the show's most memorable anthem about how the mighty Mississippi River, that unstoppable force of nature, is completely indifferent to human suffering.

Japan can't get enough of PRINCE OF BROADWAY (see video below), and that's too bad, because there are just five performances left at Osaka's Umeda Arts Theatre. On opening night, after a solid ten minutes of applause after the final curtain, Prince and the rest of the creative team went out one more time. Despite the show's success overseas, an official announcement has not yet been made regrading a run on Broadway... but that hasn't kept us from wondering. So what's next for PRINCE? We're keeping our appendages crossed for an announcement soon and we'll keep you posted with updates!
Remaining performances in the initial run (November 6 - December 6) include November 17-21, 24-25, 27-28, and December 1-5 at 7:30pm; November 22 & 29 and December 6 at 7pm; and November 21-22, 28-29 and December 5-6 at 2pm. The extension performances will take place December 8-12 at 7:30pm, December 12 & 13 at 2pm, and December 13 at 7pm.
