Joe Allen News

It's (almost) showtime! Rehearsals officially begin today for BEETLEJUICE, which is set to begin Broadway performances Thursday, March 28, 2019, at the Winter Garden Theatre (1634 Broadway), with an opening night of Thursday, April 25, 2019.

Let's cut to the chase. The Prom is a great musical comedy on the same level as HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM and THE PRODUCERS. Brooks Ashmanskas, the flamboyantly-styled song and dance man with a razor-sharp comic flair who has spent over twenty years on Broadway stealing scenes in supporting roles, is now giving a great musical comedy star performance that should rank up there with the classic turns given by Robert Morse, Zero Mostel and Nathan Lane in those smash hits.

This fabulous package includes a $100 gift certificate for dinner at Joe Allen restaurant in the Theatre District, plus (2) tickets to the hottest ticket in town, Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations including backstage meet and greet with Broadway star, Derrick Baskin.
