The Mystery of Edwin Drood

Chita Rivera is back on Broadway in the revival of Rupert Holmes’ The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel, which bears the same name, this highly theatrical musical utilizes the magnificent world of the English music hall and pantomime. It is filled with twists and complications, a murder (possibly) and some key audience participation.  A great mystery and great fun!

Synopsis

The musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood, which is also known as Drood, is a cunning mystery replete with comic moments, revelations and a happy ending voted on by the audience. What has happened to Drood. Is he dead? The answer is perhaps, yes, no (you have to see it to really know)!  The audience gets to vote on the resolution and also participates in a sing-along.
Drood is a highly imaginative adaptation of Charles Dickens final and unfinished novel. Dickens died from a sudden stroke, leaving the world a final literary work whose ending they could debate forever. Book writer, composer and lyricist Rupert Holmes is one of the few to write all three elements of a smash hit Broadway musical. The Mystery of Edwin Drood won five Tonys when it premiered in 1985, including Best Musical, Book and Score. This is its first Broadway revival and it looks to be an exciting event.

Spider

Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark, with music by Bono and The Edge, is a big musical. This stunning and powerful show features one of Marvel Comics most enigmatic and popular superheros: Spider-Man. The gargantuan musical offers magnificent special effects, major production numbers and music that is at times haunting and other times driving and passionate. Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark is overwhemling, engrossing and deliberately theatrical, This is a “must see” show.

Synopsis

Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark is the thrilling, comical and dramatic story of Peter Parker, a geeky guy who becomes a superhero after being bitten by a genetically altered spider. When transformed into Spider-Man, Parker becomes one of the finest fighters of bad guys and villians you’ll ever see. His physical abilties are overwhemlingly inspiring as Spider-Man ably defends the innocent from the wicked.
And although there are human elements in Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark that make Parker endearing, there are impressive arachnid-like characteristics that turn him into a spellbinding hero who utilizes amazing special talents, such as the ability to cast his web and use his tendrils amongst skyscrapers, maximizing his superior strength in ways he’d never before imagined and refining his newly upgraded senses to dominate others. Innovation, technical virtuosity and a penchant to create the spectacular are all key in making this musical come alive on the Broadway stage.
But it’s not all big effects and production numbers in Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark. Spider-Man carries major mental baggage. As it is with those who find themselves transformed into superior beings, Spider-Man realizes that his new superpowers can destroy at will and that means that he has a responsibility to society. The unremarkable Peter Parker is now the very remarkable Spider-Man, and he must be mindful of that.
Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark is a major Broadway event. Get your tickets today!

Set in the Hollywood of the 1980s, when the rock bands featured bad boys, stinging guitar riffs and hammering drums, Rock of Ages is a fast-paced, drug-laced, sex-maze of frivolity set to the hits of the time. It’s true that there is a story, but it’s fairly light, which helps to emphasize, as does the fact that drinks are served at your seat during the show, that this is about a time when designer drugs and groups of groupies were the hallmarks of a rock band’s success.

 

Rebecca

It was a haunting novel and then an enigmatic Hitchcock film, and now it comes to the stage as a musical. Rebecca is a show of haunting mystery, romance and a past that simply will not disappear into the fog. Can impassioned desire, a beautiful and enigmatic woman and a perfect love ever be forgotten?

Synopsis

“Last night, I dreamed of Manderley,” may be the most famous line from the hauntingly romantic mystery Rebecca. This is the intense story of Maxim de Winter and his new wife and the memory of de Winter’s deceased first wife, Rebecca. Although the new Mrs. De Winters desperately wants to feel at home and be accepted, she is constantly intimidated by Mrs. Danvers, the controlling and manipulative housekeeper of Maxim’s West Country estate of Manderley, and by memories of Rebecca.
It is the magnificent Manderley where the memory of de Winter’s first wife, the glamorous and mysterious Rebecca, is kept alive. Her beauty and enigmatic energy haunts everyone who tries to live in the present. The new musical Rebecca will be on Broadway in October 2012.

Mary Poppins

Children find something thoroughly enchanting about Mary Poppins, this musical’s lead character. There is also something equally enchanting to adults about her. Mary Poppins is not your normal nanny—part magician, part songstress and part child, she is an amazingly bright, inventive and caring adult. This is her story, complete with mesmerizing special effects, precision dance numbers and thoroughly enjoyable music. If you loved the movie Mary Poppins, you will love the stage show

Synopsis

Bert sings, “Oh, it’s a jolly holiday with Mary…” and so it is. Mary Poppins may bemuse some adults who are stuffed shirts, but for those who have a sense of humor and adventure and for all children, she is simply a kind and warming ray of sunshine.
When Mary Poppins comes to the Banks’ household to try to reign in the children, Jane and Michael, no one is willing to give her a chance in a million that she’ll succeed. She finds it hard going at first, but her talent, kind but stern manner and ability to put song, dance and flighty magic into what for many is a dull life, wins over the children and eventually even the adults .
Mary Poppins on stage is a total joy for children and adults.

Elf

 

Elf

If you’re looking for some holiday cheer, then you’ll want to get your tickets for one of the latest offerings on Broadway—the musical Elf. Based on the popular movie that starred Will Ferrell as Buddy, a man who was raised as an elf at Santa’s North Pole workshop, the story is comical, touching and appropriate for all ages. The creative team includes an array of experienced Broadway folks and the cast is loaded with great talent.

 Synopsis

In the musical Elf, Buddy, who lives at the North Pole as one of Santa’s elves, is definitely out of place. When he was a young child, he accidently crawled into Santa’s bag one Christmas Eve. After Santa discovered what had happened, it was decided that Buddy would be raised as an elf at the North Pole since there was no telling exactly to whom he belonged.

Now as a young man, he longs to find his roots and Santa gives him permission to take his elf ways to New York City, his land of origin. Buddy’s attempt to reconnect with his birth father, who is on the naughty list, proves to be a very harsh lesson for the naïve man. And despite his best efforts and sincerest intentions, he’s unable to get his wish, which is to know his real father. That is until one very special Christmas Eve.

This is a heartwarming and hilarious story that is bound to put you in the holiday spirit. Elf is for the entire family.

The Heiress

The Heiress, based on Henry James’ novel Washington Square and set in the 1850s, focuses on the plain, shy and potentially wealthy Catherine Sloper, as she is courted for her family fortune by Morris Townsend.  The Heiress, which first performed on Broadway in 1947, is about the abuse of trust, loss of innocence and manipulation of emotions. It is also very much about love and its illusions and realities.

Synopsis

A wonderful cast, including Jessica Chastain (Catherine Sloper), David Strathairn (Dr. Austin Sloper), Dan Stevens (Morris Townsend) and Judith Ivey (Aunt Penniman), has been assembled for the revival of The Heiress.  This will be its fourth revival on Broadway with the 1995 production, the most recent, running for 340 performances. The play focuses on Dr. Austin Sloper’s daughter, Catherine, a plain girl who is wooed by a handsome beau, Morris Townsend.

Catherine falls passionately in love with Morris, but her father claims the young man only seeks her money and forbids a proposed marriage. When Catherine suggests to Morris that they elope, he leaves her, realizing that he won’t see a penny. But Morris returns to see Catherine only to find that she understands the true nature of his intentions as she refuses to see him again..

The Anarchist

One of America’s most prolific playwrights, David Mamet, directs his drama The Anarchist, starring Patti LuPone and Debra Winger. The Anarchist is drama about a female prisoner battling for parole with her female prison warden. Terse, witty and compelling, The Anarchist offers audiences a drama of words, emotions and human intensity.

 Synopsis

In The Anarchist, longtime prisoner Cathy, who has ties to a violent organization, argues, cajoles and uses as many logical, witty and emotional weapons she has to plead her case  to the prison warden for her parole, Ann. But Ann will not relent. Or will she? This is a classic Mamet drama with his signature realistic-theatrical dialogue; perplexing, complex characters and a plot peppered with decisive twists and turns.

Pulitzer Prize winning playwright David Mamet will direct his new play The Anarchist for its Broadway premiere in 2012. Broadway veteran Patti LuPone will play Cathy and Debra Winger, who makes her Broadway debut, , will portray Ann, the prison warden. In 1984, Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross won the Pulitzer Prize. Other plays include A Life in the Theatre, Speed-the-Plow, Oleanna and American Buffalo. Both Glengarry Glen Ross and Speed-the-Plow were nominated for Tonys.

After enjoying a successful run Off-Broadway at the New York Theatre Workshop last spring, Peter and the Starcatcher, an energetic and clever stage adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s prequel to the tale of Peter Pan, premiered on Broadway in late March 2012 to critical acclaim. This is the fascinating story of how Peter Pan became the boy who would never grow up.

 

Grace

In Craig Wright’s play Grace, a young couple go off on a journey to Florida with hopes and dreams that take them on unanticipated twists and turns. Will their sunny new life turn sour quickly?

Synopsis

The location for Grace is the Sunshine State of Florida and everything looks to be very sunny for a young couple that has travelled to the south with what they think is a winning idea. They are going to spread “The Word” by creating a chain of Gospel motels. Grace is a defining factor in this offbeat play by Craig Wright, as a naïve couple finds that even with a plan odd circumstances can occur to upset the best and most innovative ideas. Things really do go south when they meet a disturbed neighbor and an acidic exterminator. This foursome offers conflict, mayhem and revelations. Grace is an evening filled with surprises.

Golden Boy

Clifford Odet’s Golden Boy premiered on Broadway in 1937 and after that was an immensely popular film that gave actor William Holden his big break. The story focuses on Joe Bonaparte, a gifted violinist who is torn between trying to create a career as a musician or making cash quickly and perhaps damaging his hands permanently as a prize fighter.  Will Joe trade his bow, rosin and strings for boxing gloves?

 Synopsis

Golden Boy is a tough as nails, emotional drama about a young man, Joe Bonaparte, who has two gifts—one for music and one for boxing. The drama offers a lead character that audiences` root for and who’s stuck in a dilemma that has no easy answer. Does Joe choose the rough, unforgiving and possibly lucrative life in the ring or the refined artistry of the violin? In Golden Boy it’s a battle between the pragmatist and the dreamer.
