As a way of introducing myself as the new DANCE REVIEWER for Broadway World L. A., I am reporting on an historic event in which I participated at St. Luke's Theatre on March 26th, 2018 in NYC: the 40th-year anniversary and reunion of the cast members of the opening of Tony Award-Winning Bob Fosse's DANCIN' on Broadway at The Broadhurst Theatre on March 27, 1978.

WICKED, the award-winning West End and Broadway musical that tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, makes a spectacular return to the Birmingham Hippodrome from tonight for a sell-out four week run until Sun 29 April 2018.

No matter how many times you see Wicked, no matter how many actresses defy gravity to soar as Elphaba or how numerous the renditions of 'Popular' you may hear Galinda sing, make absolutely no mistake about it: Wicked is a musical theater masterpiece. Winnie Holzman's engaging book (based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, which was in turn inspired by the original L. Frank Baum story about the wonderful wizard of Oz) and Stephen Schwartz's memorable score ensure that for generations to come, audiences will continue to be dazzled and delighted, thrilled and moved by the story of two very different individuals who become lifelong friends, proving that no obstacles in life are insurmountable.

WICKED, L.A.'s most popular musical, will return to Hollywood Pantages Theatre for a limited engagement this holiday season beginning November 28, 2018 and playing through January 27, 2019.

Tony Award-winning actress BEBE NEUWIRTH will host the 40th Anniversary and reunion of the original cast of Bob Fosse's DANCIN' on March 26th at 7 PM at St. Luke's Theatre, 308 West 46th Street, NYC. The evening, presented by Dancers Over 40, will feature members of the original Broadway cast as well as others that joined the show during the run. Ms. Neuwirth appeared in DANCIN' during the final four months of the Broadway engagement.

A day-of-performance lottery for a limited number of seats will be held for WICKED, which is returning to the Orpheum Theatre with performances from March 7-25.

Also check for single seats at all other performances. Due to the phenomenal demand for tickets, an extra show has been added on Wednesday 11 April 2018 at 2.00pm (tickets are now on sale).

DANCIN' opened on Broadway on March 27, 1978 and ran for four years, and was Bob Fosse's only all-dancing and all-singing musical. To mark this historic event, Dancers Over 40 will assemble a spectacular 'once-in-a-lifetime' panel of original cast members almost exactly to the day of their 1978 debut - March 26, 2018, 7pm at St. Luke's Theater, 308 West 46th Street.

WICKED once again cast its spell over Edinburgh earlier this week, when Elphaba defied gravity atop Edinburgh Castle as part of a special launch event to mark the forthcoming return of the spectacular UK & Ireland Tour to Edinburgh Playhouse from 8 May 2018, for an exclusive Scottish engagement.
