The story is about Norma Desmond, a faded movie star of the silent film era, and Joe Gillis, a struggling Hollywood writer. The two meet and work on a script that is supposed to herald Norma’s return…. but nothing goes as planned. Adam’s Thoughts: This is my favorite production this season. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s incredible cinematic score plays so well against this bare-bones staging. The principal company and ensemble absolutely shine. Tom Francis & Nicole Scherzinger lead this inventive Jaime Lloyd production with Grace Hodgett-Young & David Thaxton also knocking it out of the park in their supporting roles. This is my highest recommendation of the season, and you only have until July 17th to see it before closing. If you can, I highly suggest catching a performance with Mandy Gonzalez as Norma Desmond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64205f6098fc5e504e167421/63d62523-c1c2-4f09-9ad3-e7c6aacd3cca/dbh_prodshot.jpg Blog - New & Upcoming Broadway Shows - Death Becomes Her Photo by Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman Death Becomes Her is a new musical adaptation of the 1992 comedy movie of the same name that starred Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn. The story centers around Madeline, a star of the stage and screen, and Helen, an author forever in Madeline’s shadow. After Madelenie steals Helen’s fiance, Helen plots her revenge and eventually meets a mysterious woman named Viola who gives her a magical potion that promises eternal life and youth. Adam’s Thoughts: This new adaptation is a laugh-out-loud hit! Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard are an incredible pair on stage that will leave you howling with laughter. Michelle Williams dazzles in every scene she’s and Christopher Sieber and Josh Lamon hilariously round out the cast. If you’re looking for a hilarious night, look no further than this show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64205f6098fc5e504e167421/df199a73-41aa-4a8e-8a03-b61a69a59276/smash_prodshot.jpg Blog - New & Upcoming Broadway Shows - Smash Photo by Jason Bell First Preview: March 11 | Opening Night: April 20 Official Synopsis: Inspired by the hit TV series, Smash is the perfect musical-lover’s musical. Get ready for all the backstage pandemonium as opening night approaches for Bombshell, the splashy new show about Marilyn Monroe. Nearly breaking under the pressure, legendary Broadway star Ivy Lynn causes a series of hilarious set-backs and surprises that brings a diva director, a bewildered producer, two exasperated authors, one eager understudy, and an entire company to its knees. But the curtain’s going up, no matter what! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64205f6098fc5e504e167421/fddd1cc8-20d7-4e55-8e41-0982ce3ccb94/strangerthings.jpg Blog - New & Upcoming Broadway Shows - Stranger Things: The First Shadow First Preview: March 28 | Opening Night: April 22 Official Synopsis: 1959 Hawkins, Indiana, the Creel family seeks a fresh start, especially their teenage son Henry, who is eager to escape his troubled past. Initially, things go well — he finds friendship and joins the school play. But when a wave of shocking crimes strikes the town, Henry is forced to confront a terrifying truth: is something inside him that connects him to the horrors unfolding around him? As this thrilling mystery races forward, shadows of the past are unleashed, relationships are tested, and the town of Hawkins faces the ultimate question: Can the power of friendship outshine the darkness within? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64205f6098fc5e504e167421/d3499c3a-46c2-49ab-b991-a2a260031b4d/mhe_prodshot.jpg Blog - New & Upcoming Broadway Shows - Maybe Happy Ending Photo by Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman Maybe Happy Ending is a charming new original romantic musical comedy from American composer Will Aronson and South Korean lyricist Hue Park. The story takes place in a futuristic Seoul and centers around two helper bots - Oliver & Claire - abandoned by their owners. After an awkward first encounter, the two develop a friendship that brings them on an adventure together where they eventually discover what both thought never possible for them - love. Adam’s Thoughts: This beautiful new one-act musical starring Darren Criss & Helen J Shen is a must see this season. The music is a nice blend of modern musical theatre with jazz & classical. Michael Arden’s incredible attention to detail with his directions makes for some magical moments that will take your breath away and tug at your emotions. I highly recommend it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64205f6098fc5e504e167421/51012a4c-bdac-43bf-a0b7-cda82f5f86f0/opmince.jpg Blog - New & Upcoming Broadway Shows - Operation Mincemeat First Preview: February 15 | Opening Night: March 20 Official Synopsis: It’s 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64205f6098fc5e504e167421/8bed002c-971d-4113-b6b5-ddf268c885f4/lfy_rev.jpg Blog - New & Upcoming Broadway Shows - The Last Five Years First Preview: March 18 | Opening Night: April 6 Official Synopsis: What's it all about? The Last Five Years tells the story of a five-year relationship between Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress. The show is known for its unique storytelling structure, as it presents the couple's relationship from two opposing perspectives. Cathy tells the story in reverse chronological order, starting from the breakup and moving backward to the beginning of the relationship. Jamie tells the story in chronological order, starting from the beginning of the relationship and moving forward to the breakup. The two characters only interact directly in the middle of the show when their timelines overlap at their wedding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64205f6098fc5e504e167421/562c840d-dbe1-43d1-bb71-63ea8bed1171/piratespenzance.jpg Blog - New & Upcoming Broadway Shows - Pirates! The Penzance Musical First Preview: April 4 | Opening Night: April 24 Official Synopsis: The Pirates of Penzance was last seen on Broadway in 1981- a production that won three Tony Awards. The classic story epitomizes the Victorian-era operetta and explores themes of duty, love, and honor, coupled with parody of class structures and authority. As a cornerstone of light opera, The Pirates of Penzance has solidified its place as a timeless work that bridges the gap between classical and contemporary musical theater. What makes this Pirates! different? In this version, the pirate ship docks in New Orleans in this jazzy-bluesy vision of the crowd-pleasing classic, in an outrageously clever romp sizzling with Caribbean rhythms and French Quarter flair. With the tongue-twisting Major-General, the rabble-rousing Pirate King, newly-imagined young lovers, daring daughters, footloose pirates and fleet-footed police, there's a shipload of musical comedy delights on board to dazzle first-timers and G&S aficionados alike. https://www.bwayandbeyondtravel.com/blog/halloween-horror-nights-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64205f6098fc5e504e167421/51aad34a-14d3-4cb1-a9c8-9ff34904434f/Single+Color+-+Black+-+Horizontal.png Blog - Halloween Horror Nights 2024! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bwayandbeyondtravel.com/blog/nyc-broadway-week monthly 0.5 2023-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64205f6098fc5e504e167421/1c101163-3954-451b-9fae-b93baa22bc69/potterplaybway.jpg Blog - NYC Broadway Week - Make it stand out Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway.
