Something Good 2002

PLUTO TV will add free streaming premieres of MEAN GIRLS and SMILE, expand its anime lineup with ONE-PUNCH MAN and KENICHI: THE MIGHTIEST DISCIPLE, and present live sports and Double Feature Fridays.

Caryl Churchill's A Number was first produced in 2002 as one of the earliest dramatic examinations of the possibilities and physical and moral consequences of human cloning, redefining what it means to be human and part of a family. As questions of identity, nature, nurture, and responsibility collide, the play turns a startling scientific premise into a gripping and deeply human family drama after the truth about a long-buried cloning experiment comes to light. I spoke with the director/producer James Paradise about what drew him to direct the play, his artistic vision for the production, and why now is the right time to ring it to Los Angeles.

HBO Max will add new original series and documentaries, including Sharon Horgan's comedy YOUTH, the drama prequel 4 BLOCKS ZERO, and the true-crime series A KILLER STORY.

The Actors' Gang in Culver City will present an eight-show season featuring THE WOMEN OF LOCKERBIE, THE EXONERATED, new works, and family-friendly programming.

Romeo Miller will release his double album NEW LANE via SRG-ILS Group/PK Carter Music, following singles SELFIE and DOIN SOMETHING featuring Trevor Jackson.

Brian McDonald will reprise his solo comedic performance as Alex in Jonathan Tolins' BUYER & CELLAR, directed by Jamie Torcellini at Santa Barbara's New Vic Theatre.

Canadian-born David D’Lancy Wilson is nearly one year into his run as Mufasa in THE LION KING. Next week, Pride Rock comes roaring into Montreal and Wilson is coming home to Canada. I had the opportunity to chat with Wilson about his life, career, and the experience of wearing the mask of one of musical theatre’s most iconic fathers. For Wilson, however, Mufasa is more than a king, warrior, husband and protector. At his core, he says, “he is just a parent trying to do right and best for their child.” As a father of two young boys himself, that perspective carries particular weight. THE LION KING takes the stage at Salle Wilfred-Pelletier, Places des Arts, 175 Rue Sainte-Catherine O, Montréal, QC H2X 1Y9 from August 19 - September 6, 2026.

TAKING BACK SUNDAY will commemorate the 20th anniversary of its album LOUDER NOW with a deluxe anniversary edition, according to a release from Big Picture Media.

The 1990s are alive and well in Washington, D.C., where CrazySexyCool — The TLC Musical is playing its world-premiere engagement at Arena Stage. With its run coming to an end, BroadwayWorld exclusively checks in with writer-director Kwame Kwei-Armah.

Academy Award winner Matt Damon, who previously played the West End, says he’s (almost) ready to hit the Great White Way. He’s considered a stint on Broadway — but he’s just waiting for the right time to make it happen.

Featuring the timeless hits of the world-renowned pop group ABBA, “MAMMA MIA!” is a feel-good musical that has captivated audiences around the globe. Beloved songs including “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” and “The Winner Takes It All” are seamlessly woven into the story, creating a heartwarming and uplifting theatrical experience filled with laughter, romance, and emotion. Since its Japanese premiere in 2002, the production has remained a favorite among theatergoers, leaving audiences energized and inspired long after the curtain falls.

The Guilty, written by Chloë Moss, is making its world premiere at the Donmar Warehouse this month. The show, based on the screenplay Den Skyldige by Gustav Möller and Emil Nygaard Albertsen, follows a police officer, Joe [Russell Tovey], who receives a troubling 999 call while on the night shift. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Moss about adapting The Guilty for the stage. We discussed what made her want to work on the project, what it has been like working with Felix Barrett and the creative process for writing for one person on stage.

The popular stage performer – an original cast member in the 2005 Broadway production of “Lennon” and the fifth Elphaba in “Wicked” – is currently making her Boston directorial debut with the Psych Drama Company production of “Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune,” which will be at the Boston Center for the Arts Plaza Black Box Theatre,

“John Adams is a debut role for me. I love his passion.  He is the central catalytic force in the entire drama. He has dedicated his life to God, country, and family in that order.  He’s been toiling in the Continental Congress for years now, and he just wants to get the job [independence] done and go home to his family.” Actor James Patterson is speaking enthusiastically about the challenge of playing the Founding Father from Massachusetts in Maine State Music Theatre’s new production of 1776, created for America’s 250thanniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, that begins its run at the Pickard Theater in Brunswick, Maine on June 24th.

It's the end of an era on Broadway.

2026 is halfway over, which means that the 2026/27 Broadway season has just begun! All eyes are already on the lineup for the new Broadway season and many Broadway productions have already revealed full details of their upcoming engagements.

There’s a strange dichotomy that exists in live theater. I may not like the material, but will still find reason to love its execution. And at Theater West End, they’ve culled together a company of players who help elevate the material of POTUS into a comedy that now exists thanks to their approach to the characters. They form a symbiotic relationship with the audience throughout the two acts to make us still care for them, for their arcs, and for their resolutions – no matter how far-fetched it may seem. This is where the production of POTUS shines.

This year's nominees are checking in with BroadwayWorld to tell us all about how they got the news. Check back for live updates!

The final show of the 2025/26 Broadway season is now open! The world premiere of THE LOST BOYS opened tonight, Sunday, April 26, 2026, at Broadway’s Palace Theatre.

You know Matt Damon and Ben Affleck—the freshly graduated, creative duo who wrote, starred in, and eventually won an Academy Award for “Good Will Hunting.” But do you know how the movie came to be?

Imagine a space where the boundary between the stage and the stalls simply evaporates. Co-produced by Landmark Productions and Octopus Theatricals, Theatre For One appears at the Barbican Centre this month as part of their Scene Change season. It offers a singular, electrifying encounter that demolishes the fourth wall, leaving only you and a solo performer within a custom-built, intimate booth.

These are words that both sing and challenge. If, like this reviewer, you were not previously acquainted with June Jordan, POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE is a crackling introduction.
