What makes this show click is its attention to detail. DelMonte said he wanted to make IN THE LAND OF OZ “theatre beyond four walls.” Project coordinator Maya Eberhardt, experience coordinator Bessie D. Smith, and project manager Brian Altiere make sure the audience’s journey is crammed with visual elements on every corner and keeps the audience moving in a steady pace.

What did our critic think of AMERICAN IDIOT at At Short North Stage? In Short North Stage’s production of AMERICAN IDIOT, everything isn’t meant to be okay. The characters are disappointed, disillusioned, and defiant, and their story is depressing, dark, and disturbing.

Jay Armstrong Johnson's I PUT A SPELL ON YOU: ALiiVE at Webster Hall will stream on Broadway On Demand during Halloween weekend, offering a theatrical experience from the comfort of your home. Learn how to watch!

The complete cast has been announced for I Put a Spell on You: ALiiVE at Webster Hall. The lineup will include Todrick Hall (Kinky Boots, Straight Outta Oz) as well as F. Michael Haynie.
