American Idiot was shamefully ignored at the Tonys and will be gone in three weeks. Meanwhile, that airborne infection Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark dominates headlines and rakes in millions, without even opening.
Celebrities and corporate brands sell poor material, innovation gets shown the door, and crap floats to the top. It's enough to turn you heretic, to sing along with The Book of Mormon's Ugandan villagers: "Fuck you God in the ass, mouth and cunt-a, fuck you in the eye. As you laugh your head off at perky Latter-day Saints tap-dancing while fiercely repressing gay tendencies deep in the African bush, you will be transported back ten years, when The Producers and Urinetown resurrected American musical comedy, imbuing time-tested conventions with metatheatrical irreverence and a healthy dose of bad-taste humor.
Brimming with cheerful obscenity, sharp satire and catchy tunes, The Book of Mormon is a sick mystic revelatio. Broadway review by Adam Feldman How often does a musical actually change your life? The deeply beautiful Caroline, or Change has that power, if you let its spirit move you.
Here is my own testimony. It has affected the way I interact with people—in a positive way, on a daily basis—ever since. At once humane and surreal, Caroline, or Change was ahead of its time in many ways back then; among other things, it is a story about capitalism, white privilege and the removal of Confederate statues. In Broadway musicals, such people nearly always go unsung. This show is a monument to her. Offsetting its serious themes, Caroline, or Change employs a whimsical running device.
Alone in her abasement—the overh. This John Kander—Fred Ebb—Bob Fosse favorite, revived by director Walter Bobbie and choreographer Ann Reinking, tells the saga of chorus girl Roxie Hart, who murders her lover and, with the help of a huckster lawyer, becomes a vaudeville sensation. The cast frequently features guest celebrities in short stints.
The beloved pastor of a Black church in New Haven has died; his family is gathering to honor him, and his kindly son-in law, Reginald Norm Lewis , also a pastor, is set to assume the pulpit.
Sentimental confessions and reconciliations ensue, but the characters and situations have not been shaped carefully enough to earn them. Playwright Lynn Nottage and director Kate Whoriskey, whose previous collaborations include the Pulitzer Prize—winning Ruined and Sweat, team up again for a new work about a truck-stop sandwich joint staffed by ex-cons trying to get their lives together—and create the perfect snack. One of the more unlikely musicals on Broadway this season, Come From Away is the tense but humane story of an airport in Gander, Newfoundland, where 38 planes and more than 6, passengers were forced to land on September 11, Read the full review.
Its subject is harrowingly personal. In , when Hnath was in college, his mother, Dana Higginbotham, was beaten and held captive for five months by a violent criminal and white-supremacist gang member named Jim. In , Steve Cosson, of the docutheater troupe the Civilians, interviewed her about this ordeal over the course of several days. Their conversations form the basis of Dana H. This is a performance of virtuoso naturalism, radiant with inner life; the technique is so perfect that it disappears.
The actor and magician Steve Cuiffo is credited as her lip-sync consultant. The brain-expanding solo artist, musical magpie, erstwhile Talking Head and iconic oversize-suit wearer touches down on Broadway with a theatrical concert that includes songs from his best-selling album, American Utopia, as well as highlights from his older material. In this captivating original musical, Jordan Fisher now plays the title role of a high school student thrust into social relevance after a classmate's suicide.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a tiara in this new biomusical about Diana, Princess of Wales, whose marriage to Prince Charles came undone in a sea of tabloid ugliness. James Lapine, who co-created Into the Woods and Sunday in the Park with George, is the director and book writer of this unusual new musical about three prominent figures—the matinee idol Cary Grant, the novelist-philosopher Aldous Huxley and the playwright-politician Clare Boothe Luce—who dropped acid in the s.
Tickets go on sale on June Broadway review by Adam Feldman Freestyle Love Supreme is a dream of a show: the scheme of a team of thespians from Wesleyan who went with their flow, 16 years ago, to improvise a musical. Their act is virtuoso. FLS is a phenomenon, uncommon and on-the-fly—a high wire where performers get by without a guide for the hip-hop words that pour out from their lips and their lungs as they try not to trip on the tips of their tongues. He genially handles all the crowd participation, gleaning vital information that will fuel improvisation.
Special guests each night keep it light and tight as they join Veneziale at the monster-track rally. When I was there, the spare chair was fille. Its exhausted proprietor, Nick Jay O. Sanders , is on the verge of bankruptcy; his wife, Elizabeth the superb Mare Winningham , has lost her mind, and absorbs her surroundings with the air of a fascinated, headstrong child.
Ostensibly, at least, the show is a modern retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy goes to the land of the dead in hopes of retrieving girl, boy loses girl again. In a New Orleans—style bar, hardened waif Eurydice Eva Noblezada falls for Orpheus Reeve Carney , a busboy with an otherworldly high-tenor voice who is working, like Roger in Rent, toward writing one perfect song.
Hamilton: Theater review by David Cote What is left to say? Wait, here are three stragglers, straight from the heart: I love Hamilton. I love it like I love New York, or Broadway when it gets it right. And this is so right. No wonder the show was anointed a sensation before even opening. The new running time is estimated to be under 3. Set two decades after the final chapters of J. It works: The experience is transporting. On a minimalist-classical set, the visibly nervous Winner Emily Davis is questioned by Agent Garrick an excellent Pete Simpson, puffed with pseudo-bonhomie and Agent Taylor Will Cobbs ; an unidentified third man Becca Blackwell is also present.
In Come From Away, most scenes are created with no more than 12 actors and 12 chairs. The 12 actors each play two characters, presenting both perspectives: The perspective of the stranded and the locals.
The switch between the characters is made in a very subtle, yet clever way — using ordinary resources, such as hats and jackets. The 12 chairs help to create various settings, whether it is a bar, a plane or a bus. The simplicity of the stage design stands in great contrast to the complexity of stories and characters.
Finally, Moulin Rouge made it to Broadway! The musical has long been anticipated by both theater enthusiasts and fans of the movie from Moulin Rouge surely blew us away! It is one of the most entertaining musicals I have seen. The way the performers worked the crowd was unparalleled. Everybody had a great time and the applause after each musical number reflected the excitement in the theater. Moulin Rouge made sure to keep the audience entertained at all times.
Before the show even started, artists on the stage set the mood for a licentious Parisian burlesque show. The final musical number even had the entire audience clapping, singing and dancing along.
Everybody celebrated the show. Al Hirschfeld Theatre was completely transformed for Moulin Rouge. The set and stage design is the most opulent one I have ever seen. It truly sets the scene for what it is; a musical sparkling with diamonds.
Having been to the real Moulin Rouge in Paris before, I definitely felt some similarities. As I have mentioned before, however, I do not recommend selecting those seats if you want to get the best experience. On Broadway, the stage show by Casey Nicholaw enchants hundreds of spectators daily. Jasmine, the genie in the bottle and the flying carpet make this musical a favorite of many kids and adults alike.
The story sheds light on racial inequality in the 20th century, particularly in the Deep South. Since the end of , you can see To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway.
The result is a fascinating musical full of emotions and world hits, which can be seen and experienced on the legendary Broadway, the cradle of the modern musical. The story of the musical Girl From the North Country on Broadway in New York takes place at the time of the early s in a port town in Minnesota and is about an owner of an guesthouse, named Nick Laine, who sinks from head to toe in financial and family problems.
The protagonist, Nick Laine, is married to Elizabeth Laine, who has dementia and is very limited by her illness. The two have two children, their biological daughter, Gene, and their younger adopted daughter, Marianne. Nick, in his hopeless situation, begins a relationship with a guest at the boarding house, named Mrs. The boarding house is home to many other and interesting characters whose lives, during a strong storm, are completely turned upside down by the arrival of the Bible salesman, Marlowe, and the unsuccessful boxer, Joe Scott.
The musical is recommended to audiences ages twelve and up, and is aimed at a more adult audience. The musical depicts how the group met, their rise to fame, the unprecedented heights they reached, and even how political and personal conflicts nearly tore their group apart during civil unrest in the United States. In , the show is available in many cities in Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and more.
Jagged Little Pill is a musical inspired by the wonderful music of Alanis Morissette. Critics, by the way, are thrilled with the musical, which is performed at the Broadhurst Theatre in the Theatre District: it was nominated for 15 Tony Awards more than any Broadway show before it and won a Grammy. Largely responsible for its success is Diane Paulus, known from the musicals Waitress and Pippin.
A story that shows us how far we can go to be with our loved ones. What is Mrs. Doubtfire on Broadway in New York about? Unemployed actor and family man Daniel Hillard loses custody of his children in his divorce. Naturally, he is accepted. Gradually, he — or she — gains the trust of the children.

Doubtfire on Broadway in New York is a musical that is suitable for the whole family. The promoter recommends a minimum age of eight for audience members, in part because of the performance length of approximately two and a half hours including intermission. Please note that children under the age of four are generally not allowed into the Stephen Sondheim Theater. It continues to amaze NYC aundiences even after running for 29 years in succession.
