Colin Moulding, founding member of XTC, will release a three-track CD single titled WANT IT BAD (THE PEP TALKS AND PLAYING FIELDS OF OLD ENGLAND) via Burning Shed, accompanied by a new video.

We attended Unity Fest Day 2, out at Heritage Landing in Muskegon, Michigan, and although Unity has great Bands and Artists and is a multi-day event, it isn’t just about the music; it is far bigger than that! For over 25 years, the heart behind the Unity Christian Musical Festival has been bigger than music: Unity exists to strengthen and support nonprofit ministries, making an impact across our communities. Nonprofit ministries are given opportunities to connect directly with thousands of festival attendees through on-site booths and relationship-building opportunities during the event.

Derek Hough is back on tour this summer, and you could say the triple-threat superstar doesn’t have to be. But live performance is Hough’s happy place.

The musical numbers overall are so well executed it would be unfair to single out any over the rest. One could almost see the high-quality performance throughout this production as an issue. Although, the premise suggests the cast, with the exception of one or two individuals, are all young and inexperienced, most of them come across as well seasoned professionals that certainly deliver the goods.

Mötley Crüe launched 'The Return of the Carnival of Sins' tour with an opening night performance, marking the band's return to the road.

Over the years, Broadway has seen a number of family acts sharing the stage. It’s extra special when family members team up to write a Broadway show together. The Great White Way has seen many instances of this historically, in a variety of different situations. 

Since The Lost Boys took Broadway by storm this spring, there has been much chatter about the “vampire curse” on Broadway being lifted. In the early 2000s, Broadway received a string of three vampire musicals, which all closed relatively quickly. Dance of the Vampires (2002), Dracula (2004), and Lestat (2006) each received attention in their own right, but they also received attention as a group, since it was remarkable that they came along in such quick succession. But the early 21st century wasn’t the first time vampires thirsted on Broadway. The play adaptation of Dracula was a hit all the way back in 1927 and an even bigger hit in a 1977 revival. And there have been vampires lurking in the theatre district in all sorts of other projects too…
