A Truly Innovative Collaboration: Maltz Jupiter Theatre's 'Beauty and the Beast'

Just in time for the holidays, a completely re-envisioned version of the classic Broadway musical is set to dazzle on the Maltz Jupiter Theatre stage November 27 - December 16.

ADDY & UNO, the hit family musical, returns on Sunday, Nov 18th to Theatre Row after its summer hiatus. The show will play every Sunday at noon until January 6th. With an original score, heartwarming story, and hilariously adorable puppets, the 50 minute musical comedy tells the story of a young boy with autism as his friends help him compete in his school's math competition. As featured on CBS National News, NBC Sunday in New York, and Fox 5's Good Day New York, the musical aims to educate typically developing children about peers with differing abilities, while allowing those children to see themselves represented on stage.

Atlantic for Kids presents the world premiere production of Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach, featuring words and music by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul and a book by Timothy Allen McDonald to kick off their season.

Matthew Morrison couldn't be more 'Glee'-ful about launching Bay Area Cabaret's 15th Anniversary Season on Sept. 30 at the world-famous Venetian Room at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. 'I love places that have so much history,' says the Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee. Among the celebrated singers who've sung there: Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Marlene Dietrich, Peggy Lee and Tina Turner. And in 1961, Tony Bennett first performed 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco' there, which is especially apt since the Fairmont sits high upon Nob Hill, 'where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.'

The official 15th anniversary performance of Avenue Q was last night, and BroadwayWorld was in attendance! Check out the photos of the cast, original cast members, and special guests, arriving below! In addition, the cast celebrated with a cake before the show, and photos of that can be found below as well!

AVENUE Q became an overnight sensation on Broadway in July 2003 following a sold-out engagement and was extended four times after being presented Off-Broadway by Vineyard Theatre and The New Group. Since it roared into the spotlight - with its singular cast of people and puppets including Princeton, Kate Monster, Rod, Nicky, Trekkie, Christmas Eve, Gary Coleman and Lucy T. Slut - opening on Broadway on July 31, 2003, AVENUE Q has given over 6,000 performances, running seven years on Broadway before transferring to New World Stages in 2009, where it continues to play to large and happy houses.
