Following a highly acclaimed sold out 8-week run at Curve, the first new production in 25 years of Jim Jacobs & Warren Casey's iconic musical GREASE will tour the UK and Ireland in 2019, directed by Nikolai Foster and choreographed by Arlene Phillips and starring Peter Andre as Teen Angel at certain performances. Further casting to be announced.

Based on the phenomenal Oscar winning movie that captured the hearts and imaginations of a generation back in the 90s, GHOST THE MUSICAL is a timeless fantasy about the power of love and returns to Wolverhampton Grand Theatre as part of a brand new UK tour from Tuesday 22 - Saturday 26 January 2019.

Theater West End will soon occupy a space that has been home to a variety of theaters over its 117 years in historic downtown Sanford, Florida. Theater West End will continue this live theater tradition in a fresh way, bringing a new kind of artistic endeavor and energy to the area.

Theatre at the Center (TATC) and Director and Choreographer Linda Fortunato have cast Garrett Lutz in the role of ghostly hero Sam, Donica Lynn as psychic Oda Mae and Courtney Mack in the role of Molly Jensen for Chicagoland's first regional production of the newly imagined Ghost The Musical.  Previews begin September 13 with an Opening Night on September 16 and performances continuing through October 14.

Despite a bomb threat that caused the audience of the Saturday matinee to be evacuated from the Alex Theatre in Glendale and the performance to be cancelled, GMCLA persevered and went forward with the Saturday evening performance of their spectacular Pink Carpet.

Trotting out its third different opening scene, GREASE still doesn't have its artistic act together, but it still delivers mindless, guilty, and politically incorrect pleasures in abundance - with double scoops of sock hop nostalgia.

DIRTY DANCING, il celeberrimo film del 1987 diretto da Emile Ardolino, compie 30 anni e Federico Bellone non perde occasione di riportarlo al pubblico teatrale, dopo il grande successo del primo tour nella stagione 2014/2015 (esportato addirittura al West End di Londra, nonche in Messico). Con l'aiuto di Eleanor Bergstein, gia autrice della versione cinematografica, Bellone riproduce fedelmente la pellicola adattandola con forte efficacia al palcoscenico.

Se acaba de anunciar que Aaron Tveit y Karen Olivo protagonizaran la version teatral del musical MOULIN ROUGE!, creado para la pantalla por Baz Luhrmann en 2001 y que supuso la revitalizacion del cine musical a principios de la primera decada del siglo XXI. Aunque el cine musical bebe mucho de Broadway, el caso contrario, la puesta sobre las tablas en forma de musical de una pelicula exitosa, es tambien un fenomeno bastante frecuente y que ultimamente esta teniendo distintas representaciones, tanto en Broadway con el reciente estreno de MEAN GIRLS o ANASTASIA y las futuras producciones de PRETTY WOMAN y MOULIN ROUGE! como en España, con una cartelera actual plagada de celuloide y un futuro lleno de estrenos con base cinematografica.

If memory serves, way back in 1987 the movie DIRTY DANCING sizzled with sexual energy, engendered by the super charged chemistry between the poster boy of charisma, Patrick Swayze and the naive Baby, who liquifies under his charms as quickly as a Rita's water ice in July.

Like DROWSY CHAPERONE, now playing at Candlelight, DIRTY DANCING's origins were counter to novels than generally are the genesis for Broadway productions. It is based in large part on screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein's own childhood, a daughter of a Jewish doctor from New York.

The Tour of DIRTY DANCING is now playing at the Zurich Theater 11! Based on the hit 1987 film of the same name starring Jennifer Grey, DIRTY DANCING has been viewed onstage by more than 8 million people. DIRTY DANCING opened in Zurich on March 6th and will run through March 18th. Can't make the Tour this time around? Catch it again early next year, from January 21st through the 27th.

Today I was invited to a special press day at China Theatre when they announced the cast to Ghost the Musical. The show was hosted by Kattis Ahlstrom, a well know Swedish TV host. For some time we been discussing who we wanted to be in the cast and I was so happy to hear that it was my dream team for the roles of Sam and Carl. And the rest of the cast is absolutely fantastic as well.

GHOST in Berlin's historic Theater des Westens, has almost every element needed to be a great evening of musical theater. The only thing missing in this musical is the music. The set, video and lighting design (Hans Kudlich and Michael Grundner, respectively) are nothing short of spectacular. The „ghostly" stage effects (designed by Nils Bennett) are surprisingly good and a few times, awe-inspiring. The script (in a very good German translation by Ruth Deny) was written by Bruce Joel Rubin, who was responsible for the screenplay of the 1990 film as well.

Green Apple Entertainment has acquired North American rights to a five-title library of urban films from Bag Talk Entertainment for distribution on television, VOD, DVD/Blu-ray and digital platforms.
