54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, will present Rainbow Sun Productions in Songs of Mischief and Magic  on Thursday, January 12, 2023.

New Bedford Festival Theatre and Executive Producer Wendy Hall have announced the casting for their production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas which will be presented November 26 - December 4, 2022 at the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center at 684 Purchase Street New Bedford, MA.

In the summer of 1983, Jerry Herman and Harvey Fierstein put on a show that was light years ahead of the zeitgeist, vis-a-vis the awareness and acceptance of LGBTQ people in America, and about twenty years before the legalization of same-sex marriage. Yet, after a successful tryout at the Colonial Theatre in Boston, they boldly went where no Broadway musical had gone before when they opened LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at the Palace Theatre on August 21, 1983. Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston concludes its 51st Summer Season with LA CAGE, and I am pleased to report that the show continues to stand the test of time. The three most important components for a successful staging of this musical are the two actors who play the leading men, Georges (J.T. Turner) and Albin (James Darrah), and the dance troupe who comprise Les Cagelles, the drag performers at the Saint-Tropez title nightclub owned by the latter couple, and they collectively win the trifecta.
