It's Broadway's long-running shows that keep Times Square bustling year-round with theatre-goers from around the world who are making it to the Great White Way for their first time. The Book of Mormon is now in its third year at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, where it has played over 1120 performances.
Today, Little Miss Sunshine's Rory O'Malley speaks exclusively with BroadwayWorld about James Lapine's 'No Hugging' rule, the pros of being a pessimist and why Book of Mormon was the greatest time of his ife.
Produced in smaller, more intimate venues across the region, Out of the Box productions, presented by MCT, Inc. will offer audiences honest depictions of thought-provoking, creative and imaginative works that are unafraid of simplicity.
Even the most tragic stories need a bit of comic relief, and that rule that holds up on the Great White Way. Broadway certainly has a sense of humor this season, with hilarity popping up in musicals and plays alike. Below, BroadwayWorld features Broadway stars that are making 'em laugh eight times a week.
I still remember seeing my first Broadway show as a child. It had everything possible: drama, comedy, and, most importantly, depth and a broad spectrum of emotion. Shows weren't pigeon-holed into one genre or another; they were expansive and beautiful works that could elicit every possible feeling from the audience and leave you feeling elated, as if you had been a part of the magical journey of the characters on stage. Nowadays, it seems as though many of the plays and musicals lack the dimension of the great shows of yesterdays and leave the audiences craving more. Whatever happened to the gripping stories that could make you laugh, cry, loathe and love all in the same two hours? While they may have gone astray in the last few years, there is finally a shining light on Broadway's horizon that can restore the lackluster Great White Way to its former glory, and 'One for My Baby' will be that beacon.
