Romance a tres bandas: chico, chica y música (no necesariamente en ese orden) es lo que propone Once: A New Musical. El espectáculo traslada a las tablas el drama naturalista que supuso la película irlandesa de 2006, con la intención de reflejar ese momento único en que dos personas se tienen la una a la otra, se quieren y se comunican a través de sus propias canciones. Experiencias vividas o personas que se cruzan en nuestro camino y querríamos retener en un momento eterno, sólo para nosotros. El musical convence en Broadway y la grabación del elenco original no sólo convence, si no que conmueve y emociona.
Now traveling the country playing real-life legend Johnny Cash ('The Man in Black') for the first national tour of the Tony Award-winning MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET--finally landing in Southern California at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa from April 24 through May 6--actor Derek Keeling, best known as a top 3 contender on NBC's Grease: You're The One That I Want, is no stranger to playing well-known icons from the 20th Century. Before arriving to rock the O.C., BroadwayWorld subjected him to a few silly, rapid-fire questions.
Over 20 years in the making, singer songwriter Glen Hansard will release his first ever solo album, Rhythm and Repose, on Anti- Records June 19. Best known for his work with The Frames, The Swell Season and in the feature film Once, for which he won an Academy Award, Rhythm and Repose is Hansard's debut solo album and first album of new material since his 2009 release Strict Joy with The Swell Season. The album will be available for pre-sale at the Anti Store.
In recent months Hansard has been seen in the documentary The Swell Season which has toured the film festival circuit this year, contributed two songs to the blockbuster soundtrack, The Hunger Games, and been active in the promotion of Once, The Musical which successfully opened on Broadway on March 18. Hansard will support the new record on a U.S. tour. See reverse for details.
The cast of ONCE, the critically acclaimed new musical based on the 2007 Academy Award-winning film, will appear on NBC's "Today" on Friday, April 6 in the 10AM hour. ONCE currently plays on Broadway at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45th Street). The production opened to raves on Sunday, March 18, 2012.
Before the audience members began to take their seats for the Off-Broadway premiere of Once this past December, members of the press were already sent an email announcing that the production would be moving to Broadway following its limited run at the New York Theatre Workshop. Thus, the fact that the critical response to the show supported such a move seemed superfluous.
