Harvey Fierstein and the cast of the national touring company of Fiddler on the Roof will perform Raising the Roof, a cabaret to benefit the national non-profit, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, at Town Danceboutique, a premiere gay dance club and performance venue.
As the Helen Hayes Awards ceremony on April 5th honors performances and productions from the past year, DC theatergoers will be hearing two gorgeous scores by Jason Robert Brown and Jeanine Tesori, and seeing a new opera about a boxer, a splashing pool on stage, Tyne Daley as diva Maria Callas, Maurice Hines tapping his way on the Lincoln Theatre stage, Mrs. Robinson seducing Benjamin, a red balloon thrilling young audiences, Harvey Fierstein wishing he was a rich man, tales and songs from a Scottish Jewish composer, a new children's show with lots of princesses, a little musical with the title in [ ], a triumphant mounting of a short-lived Broadway musical, and a wordless Kafka classic performed in Georgian style. The crocuses, cherry blossoms, and azaleas will be in full bloom, as the nation's capital will be awash in beautiful colors. It's the perfect time to visit and see some great shows in our DC area theatres.
Tradition is back! Harvey Fierstein reprises his Broadway role as Tevye in the North American Tour of the Tony® Award-winning musical FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, playing the National Theatre April 13 through May 9, 2010.
Casting has been announced for Si Kahn and Amy Merrill's romantic musical comedy, Silver Spoon, which will be presented in two industry readings at Chelsea Studios on Wednesday, January 21 at 3:00pm and 7:00pm. David Glenn Armstrong directs Broadway veterans Nick Wyman (A Tale of Two Cities, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Sly Fox, Phantom, Les Mis?rables) and Madeleine Doherty (The Producers, Les Mis?rables) as two mismatched potential lovers. Wyman and Doherty occasionally appeared together in the original Broadway production of Les Mis?rables as the Th?nardiers and also played their Silver Spoon roles in an earlier reading at the York Theatre. Sandy Rustin (I See London I See France, Election Day, Modern Orthodox, I Love You, You're Perfect...) and Zal Owen (Ogunquit's Fiddler, High School Musical, Les Mis?rables) complete the four-person cast as young lovers from opposite sides of the East River. Ken Clifton (former resident musical director at Ogunquit and the Riverside Theatre) is the Musical Director/Arranger. Silver Spoon is a love story about the dividing lines of heritage and class - can true love span the elite reaches of the Upper East Side into the heart of pro-labor Brooklyn in 1960's New York? Two rebellious young lovers take a wild leap of faith against the outrageous protestations of their families.
