On November 16-18, 2023, Segerstrom Center for the Arts's Samueli Theater welcomed back FORBIDDEN BROADWAY, the hit Broadway-skewering parody show that pokes fun at the Great White Way. Aimed as a 'greatest hits' iteration, the show was a (mostly) funny 2-Act program, but a lot of its material proved surprisingly outdated and out-of-touch.

This time, the reader question was: With Merrily We Roll Along back on Broadway as a hit, how many musicals are flops in their original Broadway production and then return as smashes?

Robert Bannon, the renowned performer, is set to captivate audiences with his Old School Holiday Special, 'A Robert Bannon Christmas Special', on December 9th at 7pm.

All new photos have been released from Monday evening’s YORK THEATRE COMPANY Gala. Patti LuPone received the 31st Oscar Hammerstein Award For Outstanding Achievement in Musical Theater and Jamie DeRoy was honored with The York Theatre Founders’ Award.

Following Broadway in Worcester's sold-out concert this past fall with Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller, Tony Award Winner Santino Fontana heads to the Jean McDonough Arts Center's BrickBox Theater on Friday, March 1, 2024.

Throughout the music are his tales of Italian/Irish heritage, his parent's love and support, and his queer flare. The album leads with songs by icons Elton John, Dolly Parton, Liza Minnelli, Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow, and more. In addition, a mashup of the Harry Chapin classic “Cats In The Cradle” with Bannon's Pride Anthem “I Think He Knew.”
