The cast of Because of Winn Dixie reunites to perform 'What I Got' over Zoom.

Over 200 people braved the rain on Monday night and gathered under the tent at the Big Apple Circus at Lincoln Center where the 2nd Annual Cabaret at the Circus gala was held benefitting 'Broadway For All', the non-profit organization that aims to transform the American stage and screen to reflect the diversity in America.

J. Robert Spencer admits his new Christmas-single, 'Waiting On Christmas,' was written at the suggestion of his daughter Raine, saying to him that there just weren't any new Christmas songs that stood up to the old ones. 'I literally went to the piano and this song just came out,' says the TONY-nominated actor in the Pulitzer prize-winning Next to Normal; the original Nick Massi in the Broadway-cast of the TONY and Grammy Award winning show Jersey Boys; and, currently in The Midtown Men.

As original cast members of Broadway's Jersey Boys, they took the world by storm. From the development of Jersey Boys, through their historic three season run on Broadway, THE MIDTOWN MEN are together again, on their Tenth Anniversary Tour, doing what they do best: 'Sixties Hits With A Modern Twist.' The quartet returns to the State Theatre stage on Thursday, November 21st.

There's an old saying from W.C. Fields that says 'Never work with animals or children'. This quote is often assumed to mean that a performer should avoid this, as children and animals can be quite unpredictable and/or unreliable. But based on what I saw on stage during Goodspeed Musicals' latest production of the new musical BECAUSE OF WINN DIXIE, I think W.C. Fields may have issued this warning because said animals and children just might steal the show right out from under you. In its second production of the season, Goodspeed has opted to mount a relatively new work and introduce audiences to the heartwarming story of two 'Strays', a girl and her dog, on the very same stage where another girl and her dog (ANNIE) premiered 43 years ago. The result? A touching musical that delivers an important message delivered by a strong cast led (yes, led) by an extremely loveable (and talented) canine.

Milwaukee's Free Shakespeare in the Park (SITP) celebrates their milestone 10th season with its 2019 production of "The Comedy of Errors."

This summer Goodspeed Musicals will produce the heartwarming new musical Because of Winn Dixie. This touching tale based on the award-winning novel by Kate DiCamillo will run June 28 - September 1 at The Goodspeed in East Haddam, Conn.
