Matilda The Musical

There is a new musical hitting the West End in London right now based on the classic children's book Matilda by Roald Dahl. I grew up with this book and the movie adaptation and am hopeful that the show makes it to a Broadway stage the same way Newsies managed to.

Thanksgiving

I hope every had a great holiday. I know I did with all the food and friends and especially watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This year, there were some really great performances along the parade route. This reviewer compiled all the videos of the performance so if you missed one, you can catch it now!

Enjoy!

Going to Broadway

I was hoping and wishing this would happen and it is! Newsies is going to Broadway for a limited run in March. Spring break trip??

Hugh Jackman photo gallery

I have already posted about Hugh Jackman's limited return-to-Broadway show. These are some just released photos from the opening last night.

Bring it On, again

I showed you some of the first images of Bring it On the musical, today, this oh so lucky day of November, is the official opening of the musical in Los Angeles. It first opened in Atlanta earlier this year and had a short tour in October before landing in L.A. it will run into December then move to San Francisco. The full itenerary is in the article.

GLEE

One of my favorite TV shows is going to be doing my favorite musical. West Side Story is one of the best musicals (The best if you ask me) ever written because of it's dream team of writers, Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim as well as the incomparable director/choreographer Jerome Robbins.

On Glee, they auditions are over and they are beginning to rehearse the show and I am so excited!

Big Fish Reading

I know I have already shared as much info as I have gotten when Andrew Lippa was in town but I can't contain my excitement about this show. The reading will be on 11/11/11 (which is Lippa's lucky number). I will be keeping up with this story as much as I can, because this movie meant so much to me when it came out, since my father's father passed that year and my dad and his brothers are just the same big storytellers that Edward Bloom  is in his story.
