Ghost the Musical is set to materialize on Broadway this spring. April 23, 2012 will mark the official opening for the musical at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. The musical is currently running at London’s Piccadilly Theatre. Original London cast members Richard Fleeshman and Caissie Levy will re-create their roles as Sam and Molly in the Broadway production of Ghost The Musical.

Ghost is the story of a young couple, Sam and Molly. While walking to their New York apartment one night they get mugged and Sam is murdered.

With the help of Oda Mae Brown, a storefront psychic, Sam attempts to communicate with Molly in the hope of saving her.

The musical is directed by Tony Award winner Matthew Warchus (God of Carnage). Joel Rubin, an Oscar-winning screenwriter, adapted his original screenplay for the musical, which has music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Dave Stewart (of the Eurythmics) and Glen Ballard. Joel Rubin also contributed to the lyrics. The score includes the Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody,” which was the love theme of the movie.

Jesus Christ Superstar, a musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, will be coming to Broadway after a completely sold out, critically praised, extended run at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Canada. Des McAnuff, a two-time Tony Award winning director, brings a bold, new vision to the classic rock opera. McAnuff puts a totally new twist on Jesus Christ Superstar, playing on Rice’s concept of a romantic triangle between Jesus, Mary and Judas.

When asked about the love triangle twist, McAnuff replied, “It’s very much there in the album already. Tim has talked about the love triangle, but I added the term “secular love triangle” since one of the show’s amazing achievements is that they look at Christ as a man. It’s undeniable he was one of the most remarkable people who graced the planet. Even if you don’t believe he was the son of God, it tells an inspiring and human story.”

Although casting has not yet been announced, it is expected that much of the original Stratford cast will be reclaiming their roles on Broadway.

The musical, about the last days of Jesus’ life, will begin preview performances on March 1, 2012 at Broadway’s Neil Simon Theater. Jesus Christ Superstar will open on Broadway on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 64th birthday, March 22, 2012.

Jesus Christ Superstar first opened on Broadway in 1971. As it happens, Jesus Christ Superstar won’t be the only religious musical on Broadway this season. A new production of another ’70s musical, Stephen Schwartz’s “Godspell,” opened earlier this fall at the Circle In The Square Theatre.

We’re all familiar with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, named the most-watched motion picture by the Library of Congress. The musical Wicked, based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, is a parallel to the classic film.

Instead of following Dorothy in her quest to return to Kansas the musical tells the stories of the witches of the Land of Oz. The plot begins well before Dorothy’s arrival, when Elphaba, an outcast with green skin, and Galinda, a popular and charismatic beauty, were just two unlikely friends. Rivalry ensues between the two friends over opposing beliefs and a shared love-interest, which leads to Elphaba becoming the Wicked Witch of the West.

The musical, called “Broadway’s biggest blockbuster” by the New York Times, has come a long way since its premiere on Broadway in October of 2003. It has since opened up five other North American productions, two national tours, and a number of international productions in places like Japan and Germany.

Holding world box office records around the world, Wicked is quickly becoming a popular culture addiction. It’s a fascinating take on the original tale and a great show for anyone who couldn’t get enough of the wonderful world of Oz.

The musical “Follies” debuted on Broadway in 1971 and has since been nominated for eleven Tony Awards, winning seven of them. “Follies” tells the story of a reunion amongst former performers in the musical revue Weismann’s Follies, who were active during the time period between World War I and World War II.

Staged in a run-down Broadway theatre, the plot focuses on two former Follies showgirls Sally and Phyllis and their troubled marriages with respective husbands. Sally and her husband Buddy must cope with Buddy’s affair with another woman, as well as Sally’s residual feelings for her past love Ben – who is also Phyllis’ husband. Simultaneously, Phyllis and Ben struggle with Phyllis’ feelings of emotional abandonment by the self-absorbed Ben.

However, both Sally and Phyllis share an awakening of how much they have changed since their days in the Weismann’s Follies. It is quite literally illustrated by the ghostly images of the women’s younger selves which are present throughout the performance.

Though the production has been altered over the course of its existence, several musical numbers have remained consistent in Follies, such as “Broadway Baby”, “I’m Still Here” and “Losing My Mind”. These legendary songs, as well as the thoughtfully prepared story line, have made Follies one of the most well-known Broadway productions.

Joining Tveit on stage is the rest of the amazing cast, which includes Tony Award nominee, Kerry Butler (Hairspray, Xanadu) who plays Frank’s love interest. Additionally, Broadway favorite Norbert Leo Butz plays Carl Hanratty, the FBI agent who will not quit until Frank is caught.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone have always had a strange relationship with the term “too far.” With “South Park,” their long running animated TV show on Comedy Central, Parker and Stone have sparked controversy over taboo topics and have often pushed the thin line of “too far” forward. The two have used humor to illuminate topics and issues that need serious attention while remarkably making audiences laugh. And though “South Park” remains one of TVs most popular shows Parker and Stone have taken their style elsewhere.

But now the dynamic duo have taken their talent elsewhere. With “The Book of Mormon” Stone and Parker co-create a dazzling piece of comedy about a pair of Mormon missionaries and their experiences in Uganda. The excellent laughs and dialogue are matched by Robert Lopez’ composition.

The play has won 9 Tony Awards, including one for best musical. Along with awards, “Mormon” has racked up great reviews all over the country!

Whether you are a fan of the always taboo-toppling “South Park” or you just love a great musical with a sense of humor come on out and see “The Book of Mormon” and you surely won’t regret the decision!

Samuel L. Jackson will be making his Broadway debut this fall portraying the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the Award-winning The Mountaintop.

The Mountaintop is a riveting work of fiction by American playwright Katori Hall that re-imagines the events the night before the assassination of the Nobel Prize winner and civil rights leader after the delivery of his renowned ‘I’ve Been to the Mountaintop’ speech.   The entire play is set in Room 306 of the now famous Lorraine Motel. Camae, a mysterious maid, played by Angela Bassett, forces King to face his past and consider his legacy.

The Mountaintop is produced by Jean Doumanian Productions, Sonia Friedman Productions, Ambassador Theatre Group, Jerry Frankel, Ted Snowdon, Bob Bartner, and Tom Wirtshafter.

In a joint statement, Ms. Doumanian and Ms. Friedman said, “The Mountaintop is a brilliantly conceived gem of a play.

We are thrilled to be bringing Katori Hall’s remarkable, Olivier-winning work to New York, and to present a singular new American voice to Broadway audiences.

Starting late September Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre is putting on “The Mountaintop,” a fictional play about civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Set on April 3, 1968, the play follows Dr. King through his final day. Starring Samuel L. Jackson as King, “The Mountaintop” is set in Memphis, Tennessee at the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King was assassinated. The play gets its name because on this day after plane delays due to bomb threats, King gave a rousing speech now called the “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop Address.”

“The Mountaintop” confronts Martin Luther King’s past along with that of all African Americans. Samuel L. Jackson, an Academy Award Nominee for his role in “Pulp Fiction,” will play the part of Dr. King.

The play’s writer, Katori Hall, has penned numerous plays including “Hoodoo Love,” “Remembrance,” and “Hurt Village.” Her perception of Dr. Martin Luther King will be followed by a nameless woman who delivers room service to the now notorious room 306 and inspires powerful thought.

Not every movie would necessarily be good when moved to a Broadway stage but it seems that Whoopi Goldberg movies easily make the translation. There was the musical version of the classic 1990 film “Ghost.” Next, Oprah Winfrey produced a stage version of the book/movie “The Color Purple.” However Goldberg never took a part in bringing her famous films to the stage…until now.

Starting this summer “Sister Act,” a musical version of the 1992 comedy that starred Whoopi Goldberg hits Broadway. The play, stuffed with catchy music, follows Delores (Goldberg in the film), an eccentric Reno singer who witnesses her mobster boyfriend (Harvey Keitel in the film) kill a man.

Knowing that she could be next she enters the witness protection program and ends up serving as a nun in a convent where she discovers a choir of sisters who need her help.
“We’re just gonna bring ‘Sister Act’ because, come on, singing nuns and a girl on the run. There’s nothing more fun than that,” says Goldberg, who is a producer of the show.

The Broadway production will start June 2 and will continue through the summer and into the fall. Don’t miss your chance to see this divine musical grace the Broadway stage!

Throughout the past month, tickets for The Book of Mormon have been on Select-A-Ticket’s Top 5 Events list. Less than three months ago New York’s Eugene O’Neill Theatre welcomed a new musical to Broadway, and now audiences cannot get enough.

Brought to you by the dirty masterminds of television’s satirical “South Park,” The Book of Mormon features an original book with hilarious music and lyrics by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Composer and lyricist Robert Lopez of Avenue Q also was behind the genius book of this musical.

The book is just as expected it would be coming from Parker and Stone, as it is filled with wildly offensive jokes, but is still completely candid and hilarious on a range of topics including AIDS and religion.

Directed by Parker and Casey Nicholaw, The Book of Mormon surrounds the journey of two Mormon missionaries from Salt Lake City, Utah. Elder Cunningham and Elder Price are eventually sent to a village in Uganda in order to carry out missionary work.

The two main characters have been described as the ultimate odd couple, with Cunningham being chubby, dim-witted underachieving loser, while Price is a clean-cut, white-bread, overachiever. Trouble unfolds while the two are in Uganda, and hilarity ensues!

“The Book of Mormon” is now open, with performances scheduled Tuesday-Sunday at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre in New York City.

Attention Broadway goers, there is a new revival on the stage! Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia is a new revival of an original 1995 production. Up until now, the show’s revival at the Barrymore theatre has been well received. Audiences are enjoying this romantic Broadway spectacle, which intertwines many different intellectually stimulating ideas.

This richly entertaining play begins at a posh English country estate in the April 1809, before time warping you to the present time. Audiences are introduced to a brilliant 13 year old named Thomasina. She is young, but is enthralled by knowledge, especially math. She creates a complicated theory, which is well beyond her realm of knowledge.

Adults surrounding Thomasina are all preoccupied with their guilty pleasures. Even her tutor, Septimus is promiscuously involved with several characters in the show, including the poet Ezra Chater’s wife, and Lady Groom, the lady of the house.

Then, Arcadia thrusts you 200 years into the future, where you find academics Hannah and Bernard. These two are curious about Thomasina’s theory, and work to find the truth by putting together all of the confusing clues.

Aradia features a talented cast of actors including Margaret Colin, Billy Crudup, Raul Esparza, Glenn Fleshler, Grace Gummer, Edward James Hyland, Byron Jennings, Bel Powley, Tom Riley, Noah Robbins, David Turner and Lia Williams.

The New York Times describes Arcadia as a “dazzling, witty masterpiece of misunderstanding and quest for knowledge, resonating across centuries.” Arcadia performances run weekly Monday-Saturday at the Barrymore Theatre in New York City.
