It's the end of an era on Broadway. As BroadwayWorld reported last month, the curtain has officially come down on Boneau/Bryan-Brown, the iconic Broadway press office founded by ATPAM-members Chris Boneau and Adrian Bryan-Brown, after more than three decades representing theatre on Broadway, Off-Broadway and around the world.

If you’re looking for a fun evening that will make you want to sing along and dance in the aisles, check out Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre’s production of All Shook Up! The storyline of this jukebox musical by Joe DiPietro is inspired by Shakespeare’s comedies.

The stage production does make a lot of strides that strengthens the endurance and popularity of this love story. It repeats iconic moments from the popular 2004 film, but isn’t aping the original screenplay in any way. A new libretto offers a fresh take that borrows the basic structure of the novel and memorable film moments, whilst breathing in new voices and new scenes that add different layers to these familiar characters.

Friendship is nearly always a side element in musicals. From the comic sidekick of the leading character to the backup pals who provide background vocals, friends are part of the fabric of many shows—but rarely are they the main event.

We recently had met public relations pro, Riccardo Gabrielle at Felice 83 on the Upper East Side of New York City where an excellent selection of wines from regions throughout Italy was showcased.

The play, written by Bekah Brunstetter is a touching dramedy that explores how faith collides with love when a devout Christian baker refuses to create a wedding cake for the daughter of a deceased best friend because it will be a lesbian marriage. 

On March 13th & 14th, the North Carolina Symphony will be presenting HOLLYWOOD HITS.

Next month, 54 Below will present some of the brightest stars from Broadway, cabaret, jazz, and beyond for Women's History Month, including Linda Eder, Kate Baldwin, Jenn Colella and more. 

Theater West End was wise to split Angels in America in the season as two separate performances, each with their own block in the schedule. Originally, I was concerned that the Part Two of it all might turn away prospective theatergoers. But upon watching both parts now, and bearing in mind my own familiarity for the characters, I can also see now how the original production’s 18-month gap would have also been enticing for an audience.
