Broadway Musicals – Spring 2023
Romeo & Juliet - This hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & JULIET asks: what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love – her way. Young, pop music
A Beautiful Noise - With his first break into songwriting in the 1960s and his meteoric rise in the 1970s, and plenty of crushing disappointments and heart-stopping triumphs along the way, Neil Diamond has maintained an almost unthinkable level of superstardom for five straight decades. How did a poor Jewish kid from Brooklyn become one of the most universally adored showmen of all time? There’s only one way to tell it: a musical set to his era-defining smash hits that entranced the world.
Bad Cinderella From ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER comes “a big, colorful, fun fairy-tale rewrite”. In the exceptionally beautiful kingdom of Belleville, the fields are idyllic, the prince is charming, and the townsfolk are ravishing. Only one intractable peasant stands in the way of sheer perfection: Cinderella.
Bob Fosse’s – Dancin’ Bob Fosse’s Dancin’ is Fosse’s full-throated, full-bodied celebration of the art form he loved, practiced, and changed forever. His hit musical masterpiece is reimagined by director Wayne Cilento, who starred in the original Broadway production of Dancin’. Cilento transforms the show’s original vision for 21st-century audiences. Dancin’ brims with Fosse’s warmth, emotion, color, and endlessly influential style rarely seen in modern interpretations of his work. Featuring an eclectic score that spans a multitude of musical genres and an extraordinary cast of Broadway’s most accomplished dancers, Dancin’ delivers the quintessential Broadway experience for Fosse fans and first-timers alike. You’ve never seen Dancin’ like this.
Camelot - The classic returns - Based on The Once and Future King by T.H. White, Camelot, Lerner and Loewe’s 1960 follow up to My Fair Lady, is a story about the quest for democracy, striving for justice, and the tragic struggle between passion and aspiration, between lovers and kingdoms. This epic and timely tale features the iconic characters King Arthur, Queen Guenevere, and Sir Lancelot as well as the beloved original score with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe which includes “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “What Do the Simple Folk Do?” and the title song “Camelot.”
Chicago - The longest running American musical on Broadway, Chicago tells the story of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly as they kill their faithless lovers, avoid prison through the histrionic efforts of a razzle-dazzle lawyer, and leverage their new-found fame to become vaudeville headliners. Bob Fosse's choreography is just as mesmerizing as the first time the production hit the stage 40+ years ago.
Funny Girl - This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened—she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.
Hadestown - Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales—that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone—as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
Hamilton - HAMILTON is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, HAMILTON has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre – a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Adventure runs in the family. When Harry Potter’s head-strong son Albus befriends the son of his fiercest rival, Draco Malfoy, it sparks an unbelievable new journey for them all – with the power to change the past and future forever. Prepare for a mind-blowing race through time, spectacular spells, and an epic battle, all brought to life with the most astonishing theatrical magic ever seen on stage. “You’ll be wondering ‘how’d they do that?’ for days to come” (People Magazine).
MJ: Michael Jackson Musical - This new musical features more than 25 of Michael Jackson's biggest hits. The show takes audiences behind-the-scenes as Michael prepares for the 1992 Dangerous Tour, providing an in-depth look at his process. As he and his collaborators rehearse their epic setlist, we are transported to pivotal creative moments in his career.
Moulin Rouge - Based on the 2001 Oscar-winning film by Baz Luhrmann, the show is set in 1899 in Paris. It tells the story of a young poet who has a passionate affair with the beautiful and notorious star of the glamorous nightclub the Moulin Rouge. Like the film, the Bway score features roughly 70 songs, most of them chart-toppers of the past several decades, and includes additional songs that have been written since the film's release.
New York, New York - A brand-new musical bringing Broadway legends back together, New York, New York is a glittering love letter to the greatest city in the world. Featuring an exhilarating new score by the incomparable John Kander and Fred Ebb, an original story by David Thompson with Sharon Washington, additional lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and visionary direction and choreography by Susan Stroman, New York, New York will whisk you right through the very heart of the city that never sleeps.
Shucked - Shucked is the new musical comedy that proves sometimes tearing down a few walls, rather than growing them, is the only way to preserve our way of life. With an outrageously funny book by Tony Award®-winner Robert Horn, an irresistible score by Grammy Award®-winning songwriting team of Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, and direction by three-time Tony Award®-winner Jack O’Brien, Shucked is about to turn Broadway on its ear and offer a kernel of hope for our divided nation.
Six - History gives short shrift to the six ill-fated wives of Henry VIII. Their lives have been summed up by the old rhyme, "Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived." Now Six, an inventive, new musical, puts the wives in the spotlight as a girl band and gives them a chance to tell their stories through power ballads. The show, presented as a musical-pop concert hybrid, features songs with what The New York Times praised as "catchy and meaty" tunes and "wickedly smart" lyrics. The Boston Globe said the show "delivers an exhilarating evening of high-octane talent, inspiring anthems."
Some Like It Hot - Set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement, SOME LIKE IT HOT is the “glorious, big, high-kicking” (AP) story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they catch a cross-country train for the life-chasing, life-changing trip of a lifetime. Entertainment Weekly calls SOME LIKE IT HOT “a boisterous good time from start to finish, boasting infectious music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman, a witty book by Matthew López and Amber Ruffin, and stellar direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw.”
The Book of Mormon - This Grammy and Tony-Award winning musical is a collaboration of the four-time Emmy Award-winning creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and Tony Award-winning Avenue Q and Frozen composer Robert Lopez. The plot centers on two young Mormon missionaries who are sent off to spread the word of god in a Ugandan community. Their tale is told alongside the story of Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints for a funny and informative examination into the Church of Latter Day Saints and the world of missionary outreach.
The Lion King - The animated film that moved the world is brought to life on the Broadway stage in this Tony-Award winning musical. Director Julie Taymor uses fantastic full-sized puppets and masks to tell the story of Simba, a lion cub, who, as he grows up, struggles to accept the responsibilities of adulthood and his destined role as king. In addition to all of the hits from the film's soundtrack like "Hakuna Matata" and "Circle of Life," the show also features new music by the film's original composers, Lebo M and Hans Zimmer.
Sweeny Todd - For the first time since 1980, Broadway audiences will experience Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award®-winning score as it was performed in the original production–with Jonathan Tunick’s classic 26-player orchestration on an epic scale. Tony Award-winning director Thomas Kail (Hamilton) helms the return of this musical thriller starring Tony and Grammy® nominee Josh Groban (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) as Sweeney Todd, and Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford (Sunday in the Park With George, Kinky Boots) as Mrs. Lovett.
Wicked - Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for a spellbinding tale. This Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical is a vivid re-imaging of the classic, showing the audience what it takes to make one of the most famous villains of all time in a beautiful and surprising tale of friendship.
A Beautiful Noise - With his first break into songwriting in the 1960s and his meteoric rise in the 1970s, and plenty of crushing disappointments and heart-stopping triumphs along the way, Neil Diamond has maintained an almost unthinkable level of superstardom for five straight decades.
