When I look back at the things I've done so far, I realized that the through line is characters that go through really transformative arcs. I wanted to make this person almost unrecognizable by the end of the show, because that's really what happens to him. He accesses this real rage that has been living in him his whole life but can now be channeled into something tangible and real and hopefully positive.

After seven extravagant years, Broadway is getting ready to say au revoir to Moulin Rouge! The Musical. The Tony-winning adaptation of Baz Luhrmann's 2001 film will play its final performance at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on July 26, closing one of the most commercially successful and visually maximalist runs of the modern Broadway era. Moulin Rouge! officially opened on July 25, 2019, dripping in red velvet, rhinestones and pop culture mashups.

Liberation wants to get you talking, and it gives you plenty to talk about. Whitney White's direction elicits a triumph of ensemble acting whose equipoise is a perfect realization of the play's own themes.

Recently, we saw Art, a play whose premise centers on three sophisticated, middle-aged friends who descend hell-ward in a bitter fight that tears the otherwise resilient fabric of their friendship. The trio's scorching verbal combat ignites when one of them acquires a "work of art" consisting of a contentless, blank-white canvas, which he purchased for the profligate sum of 300,000 dollars!

YAY BROADWAY! so happy my bway debut is playing a fellow polarizing woman in this perfect musical next month I hope you will all come watch me live my dream I am SO HAPPY I CANT STOP SMILING.

The Olivier Awardwinning musical Operation Mincemeat will replace its original, all-British cast with an all-American company on February 24, as the show enters its second year on Broadway. The original castincluding creators David Cumming, Natasha Hodgson, Zoe Roberts, Tony winner Jak Malone, and Claire-Marie Hallwill play their final performance on February 22.

Two-time Oscar winner Brody and recent Golden Globe nominee Tessa Thompson will both make their Broadway debuts in the upcoming play The Fear of 13. Directed by Tony-winner David Cromer, the show will begin previews on March 19 ahead of an April 15 opening night - right ahead of the TBA Tony-eligibility deadline. Brody is already the record holder for "longest Oscars speech" for his five-minute and 45-second-long monologue after winning Best Actor for The Brutalist.

The Broadway musical Wicked has been such a gargantuan success that it almost makes you forget about its most humiliating defeat. On the night of June 6, 2004, Radio City Music Hall erupted in cries of disbelief as Avenue Q, a ragtag puppet musical with songs like "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist," won the Tony Award for Best Musical, beating the big-budget box-office sensation about the witches of Oz.

It's all coming back to audiences now. Broadway is about to get a little wetter, louder and a lot more Céline. Titanique, the gloriously unhinged musical comedy that reimagines Titanic through the powerhouse ballads and fever-dream narration of Céline Dion, is officially sailing onto Broadway this spring for a limited run. The award-winning hit will begin performances on March 26, 2026, with opening night set for April 12 at the St. James Theatre (most recently home to The Queen of Versailles).

Here at TONY, our goal has always been to guide readers toward the best that the city has to offer-and, more than that, to help them appreciate what makes those things the best. In the 22 years that I've been covering theater for Time Out, that guidance has taken ever-changing forms, and as we move into the new year, I am delighted to announce a new one.

What do you like to eat and/or drink right before bed? Well, I am on a Broadway schedule because I'm currently in Oh, Mary!, but maybe that doesn't even affect it. I usually have a glass of wine, and perhaps I'll sneak in a Wine Gum or a Percy Pig or a gummy kind of candy along with it. Right until I knock out on that pillow!

The musical was always a risky gamble, even with the star power of Chenoweth and a score by Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz. A musical adaptation of Lauren Greenfield's acclaimed 2012 documentary about the wealthy Jackie Siegel and her family's fall from financial grace, the musical opened to scathing reviews but strong ticket sales. Alas, advance sales through the holidays weren't enough to keep the show afloat.

"Mamma Mia!" is on a six-month run until Feb. 1, 2026, and during that time, the Hyatt Regency Times Square is the official hotel partner of the show. The property, which is just one block away from the Winter Garden Theatre, recently debuted its Mamma Mia Experience, which makes you feel as if you're staying at the Villa Donna itself-and it's the perfect place to live out your musical dreams.

A star-studded mix of pop icons, Broadway casts, K-pop phenoms and holiday-classic favorites is marching straight into Thanksgiving morning. Consider your coffee stirred by a drumline: the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade rolls out Thursday, November 27 at 8:30am and the talent list is stacked like a float full of stuffed animals. Big pop names, Broadway casts, a YouTube hot-sauce interrogator, Olympic-level skaters and the Rockettes will all clock in before you've carved the first crescent of pie.

We've watched Daniel Radcliffe grow up, from his first days with a lightning bolt on his forehead on the various Harry Potter movies to his stage acting career involving complicated roles in plays like Equus, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (for which he earned a Grammy nomination) and Merrily We Roll Along (for which he won a Tony).

Four months after she won a Tony Award for leading actress in a musical for her blood-soaked portrayal of Norma Desmond in " Sunset Boulevard," Nicole Scherzinger is sitting in the room where she willed her triumph into being. "I manifested it right here," she says as she waves an arm around the cozy cabaret tucked inside the Sun Rose hotel on - where else? - Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood.

After coming within hours of a possible strike that could have taken Broadway from the world of The Great Gatsby to The Sound of Silence, the musicians' union's negotiators Just in Time (another show title). Just days after Actors' Equity Association reached a tentative deal and hours before a musician strike was set, Local 809 of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) reached their own tentative deal between Broadway musicians and the Broadway League and Disney Theater Productions.

Going from 10 years ago when people didn't understand who trans people were to now where people have a lot of misconceptions and they think they know who trans people are but they still don't-I'm really invested in trying to show a more approachable and real and hopefully relatable side of that,

While Paytas is embodying Maxine, Sharone Sayegh will continue to play Juno in Act II.

It's hard to think of a more iconic exchange in the history of theater than the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet. Those legendary lines. That stolen kiss. It's been performed countless times the world over. And it was for that reason that Andrew Moerdyk, Kimie Nishikawa, and Santiago Orjuela-Laverde, founders of the Brooklyn-based scenic design studio dots, hoped to reinvent it, when tapped by director Sam Gold for the Circle in the Square Theatre's recent Broadway adaptation. Together, the creative team conceived a bed of flowers-revealed by the opening of a circular panel-and, suspended above it, a mattress.
