These performers may have received other awards and accolades, but a Tony Award is shockingly not on their résumé.

Two-time Tony Award nominee Megan Hilty isn’t on an official concert tour, but that hasn’t stopped the popular Broadway and television performer from booking numerous upcoming dates including three in the Bay State alone.

Perhaps the most well-known instance of a show changing titles during the development process belongs to the groundbreaking 1943 phenomenon, Oklahoma! The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical that changed the art form in terms of subject matter, integration of elements, and more was originally titled Away We Go! when it went out of town for a New Haven tryout. Oklahoma! is far from the only instance where a musical changed its title along the development road.

The worlds of pop music and theater are converging in Original Sound, a new film based on the off-Broadway play by Adam Seidel. BroadwayWorld caught up with stage and screen stars Constantine Maroulis and Ari Notartomaso to discuss the new project.

ENGLISH isn’t so much a play about the power of words as it is about the inextricable and very complicated bonds between language, culture and identity.

Rubén Carbajal (who played John Laurens/Philip in Hamilton on Broadway) talks to BroadwayWorld about playing Usnavi in Musical Theatre West's production of IN THE HEIGHTS, running April 10–26 at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center in Long Beach.

This is my first visit to Helsingborg Stadsteater but probably not my last. Well-organized and good with lots of free lockers for your jacket and large items. Great  modern theatre auditorium with a excellent grading between the rows in the stalls. 

I play the character of Goli. She's the youngest character in the play; she's 18. For Goli specifically, her relationship to English is really sweet. She's described as this young, sweet spirit in the classroom. She's just carefree and has fun.

Next week, 54 Below will present some of the brightest stars from Broadway, cabaret, jazz, and beyond, including Allison Bailey, Jordan Tyson and more. 

Current star of Masquerade Telly Leung discusses with Jennifer Ashley Tepper playing the Phantom in the immersive production, the full circle from Rent fan to Rent actor, Gavin Creel’s leadership during a production that never was, and much more. 

Even if you’ve never seen a single production, chances are you’ve at least heard of Swan Lake. Maybe you’re like me and had your first exposure to the story thanks to the 1994 animated movie The Swan Princess.

This history gives context to the legacies of theatrical dynasties—considered to consist of at least three subsequent generations of theatre creators. In 2026, there is a stigma around any successful professional who follows a parent into their line of work, with this being seen as a pattern of nepotism.

If “& Juliet” works at all, it’s because it commits to the premise without apology: a Shakespearean remix told through the lens of pop music, meta-theatre, and a general belief that stories never really die, they just get re-written. This touring production of the still-running Broadway musical leaned into this ethos with a cast that understood the assignment – treating the material with enough sincerity to make it land, but enough wryness to make it feel like commentary.

'I went to school, did a couple of cruise ships, and then I moved to New York with two bags and a tube of Chapstick, and I've lived there for 15 years now. Which makes me official, I think.'

Seth MacFarlane was in great voice when he took the stage at Symphony Hall recently for his sold-out New Year’s Eve concert with the Boston Pops, even if it wasn’t his most familiar voice.

Rise and shine, BroadwayWorld! It is December 15, 2025 and it's time to catch up on all of the theatrical happenings you may have missed over the weekend.

Today’s subject Academy and Emmy Award winning composer Rachel Portman has a career that includes scoring for over100 films, television and a stage musical of Little House on the Prairie. This week her foray into opera can be seen and heard in the Terrace Theater At Kennedy Center as Washington National Opera (WNO) presents The Little Prince as their annual family opera offering. The show runs for only five performances between December 12th and 14th. WNO first performed it 2014. It premiered at Houston Grand Opera in 2003.

I think it's a power that people bring into the room whenever they see the show. They bring memories of watching WHITE CHRISTMAS with their families growing up. They bring memories of singing the songs in the choir. And I think all those things help invigorate the show.

Steve Morgan combined his head for mathematics and his heart for performing, majoring in both mathematics and music at Indiana University.

There’s something deliciously unnerving about sitting in a theater knowing that no one on stage will make it out alive. Resident Ensemble Members production of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None—the best-selling mystery novel of all time, is that rare, perfect storm of tight plotting, psychological suspense, and gallows humor.

It is a show that is so close to my heart! When I was living in New York, from 2004 to 2008 was when it came to Broadway, and I saw it there. I was brought in quite a bit for Olive at the time. I'm too old for that [role] now!
