Tootsie will make its Australian premiere this May at Teatro at the Italian Forum in Sydney. Tootsie is the story of a talented but difficult actor who struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a lifetime.

Hercules will extend its West End run for a final time. Hercules features music by Alan Menken, lyrics by David Zippel, and a brand-new book by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah.

TOOTSIE at TEATRO SISTINA? UN GRADITO ANCHE IN QUESTA STAGIONE DEL MUSICAL TRATTO DAL CELEBRE FILM CON DUSTIN HOFFMAN

Dopo il grande successo di pubblico e critica ottenuto nel Tour della scorsa Stagione, torna in scena nei teatri italiani 'Tootsie', il Musical firmato e adattato in italiano da Massimo Romeo Piparo tratto dal famoso film del 1982 di Sydney Pollack con l'indimenticabile interpretazione di Dustin Hoffman.

Quinn Van Antwerp currently stars as Gordy in this hilarious, but corny, Tony Award-winning musical “SHUCKED” hitting the Orpheum stage January 13-18. Quinn is a veteran of stage and screen, having performed in productions such as THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG and more than 3,000 shows of JERSEY BOYS as Bob Gaudio.

Dopo il grande successo di pubblico e critica ottenuto nel Tour della scorsa Stagione, torna in scena al Sistina, dal 22 gennaio al 1 febbraio, “Tootsie”, il Musical firmato e adattato in italiano da Massimo Romeo Piparo tratto dal famoso film del 1982 di Sydney Pollack con l’indimenticabile interpretazione di Dustin Hoffman. 

At first glance, Shucked doesn’t seem like a show that should work. A Broadway musical about corn, packed with puns and country music, sounds like it might wear thin fast. But during its stop at the Orpheum Theatre, this touring production proves that beneath the dad jokes and folksy charm is a surprisingly smart and generous piece of musical theatre.

Only on Broadway can a show this proudly preposterous, this shamelessly corny, sneak up on the skeptics and knock the wind out of them. SHUCKED, the goofy little musical that could, arrives at ASU Gammage in Tempe like a hayride crashing into a punch bowl.

Filled with a seemingly non-stop parade of awww-shucks delivered puns—of both super naughty and super corny varieties—the show, for lack of a more eloquent description, is so frikkin silly and stupid in the best possible ways a comedy can get. Mind you, this isn't an insult at all—the show is so unapologetically and purposely silly, that the whole thing actually feels like savvy (and sassy) comedic gold, albeit the broad and dorky kind that audiences of all kinds will likely adore and appreciate. Unexpectedly weird in the most winning ways, SHUCKED had me laughing heartily at all of its strange, admirably sustained shenanigans and down-home humor, never once wavering from its 'corny' (haha) machinations not even for a millisecond. The show's rather enjoyable national tour production continues performances at OC's Segerstrom Center for the Arts through November 23, 2025.

Longtime Broadway actor Quinn VanAntwerp talks to BroadwayWorld about what it’s like to play the comedic villain in the Tony Award-winning SHUCKED, playing at the Segerstrom Center for the Performing Arts in Costa Mesa through November 23.

Watch a video of the cast of Disney's Hercules in London sing a new song written for the musical, 'Great Bolts of Thunder.' Written by Alan Menken and David Zippel, the song takes place before the final battle with Hades begins!

Hercules will extend its run at Theatre Royal Drury Lane until 18 July 2026 due to public demand. Leslie Beehann will join the cast to play Calliope from 8 December.

Dear Readers, I want to talk to you about somewhat under the radar shows, and corn. Not all shows have that name recognition or known songs. Sometimes these new story, original musical gems come along, and they need some of your time and attention. One such show is “Shucked” currently playing at the Paramount. With a subject matter that might make some go “huh?” it could pass you by. Don’t let it!
