Next week the Memphis Orpheum will teem with gun-toting lugs in pinstripes and leggy Jazz Age chorines as BULLETS OVER BROADWAY takes the stage. This roaring twenties crime comedy, based on Woody Allen's 1994 film by the same title was transformed for the stage with Susan Stroman's guidance. In Allen's film, the lead character, David Shayne, was played by John Cusack. In this stage version, a young actor named Michael Williams inhabits the role.

Some of the best musical experiences have taken place in houses of worship. Sadly, Holy Cross Church in Times Square was the location of such an occurrence on Saturday as a Requiem Mass for Jean-Claude Baker who committed suicide on January 15th 2015 was held at the historic church. The Romanesque Revival style building was constructed in 1870 and is the oldest building on 42nd Street. BroadwayWorld brings you photos of the performances below!

'If only Eve had given Adam a daiquiri, we'd still be in paradise,' ruminates Gordon Goodman as John Barrymore at the end of BARRYMORE by William Luce. To that I say, 'If only John Barrymore could have stopped drinking, what acting heights could he have gone on to reach?'

The School of Theatre at Florida State, known for its nationally reputable program, encourages the creation of art, defies standards and makes bold moves to produce caliber productions. With the upcoming presentation of William Shakespeare's comedic classic Much Ado About Nothing, director Walter Kmiec embraces the spirit of experimentation and sets the production in Southern Florida during the glamorous 1920's. This show will run from March 29 - April 7 in the Lab Theatre, located by the Pensacola Street parking garage

... The other impression I got from "Singin'" was the incredible depth of talent required of all the actors. The legendary Gene Kelly was the original choreographer, setting a high bar for anyone to follow (or vault over), to belabour the metaphor. This performance is meant to be extremely high intensity; highly athletic. To pull it off, actors must have a huge vocal range, a powerful voice, be highly gifted dancers in a number of genre's including tap, flamenco, ballet, have the agility of an acrobat, be incredibly funny and posses the ability to act ! They were all so physically beautiful, (or perfectly caste, befitting their role). One imagines a vast pool of players and an extreme vetting process to have achieved so many creme de la creme in one show.
