During my most recent trip to New York, I caught a bunch of Broadway's most recently opened musicals, including REDWOOD at the Nederlander Theatre. Tony Award winner Idina Menzel (Rent, Wicked, If/Then) stars in the story of a woman driven by a heartbreaking loss to the solace of a redwood forest. Through the kindness of strangers and a new perspective, she will find catharsis—and rediscover the strength to carry on. Check out this full review to find out what I thought of the show, and share your own thoughts about it in the comments!•00:00 | introduction01:40 | synopsis / overview08:00 | characters / problems14:33 | design / performances•get tickets to see MickeyJoTheatre LIVE at the Phoenix Arts Club:https://phoenixartsclub.com/events/mickeyjotheatre-live/About Mickey-Jo:As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

Lady Gaga a rejoint U2 à Las Vegas hier soir pour une interprétation de "Shallow", sa chanson tirée du film A Star Is Born. La chanteuse est montée sur scène avec le groupe, vêtue d'une veste en cuir et de lunettes de soleil, pour une version étonnamment énergique de cette chanson pleine d'émotion, où elle a partagé le chant avec Bono. À l'origine, elle a interprété la chanson avec Bradley Cooper dans le film A Star Is Born. Axelle Red sort aujourd'hui un tout nouveau single : "C'est My Life, C'est Ma Vie". Axelle Red a écrit et composé elle-même cette nouvelle chanson française intemporelle. En plus du single, un album best of sortira le 1er décembre : AR 30, un album rétrospectif contenant les 30 chansons les plus importantes des 30 ans de carrière d'Axelle. Le nouveau single y figurera également. Depeche Mode sortira Strange/Strange Too, une collection de clips musicaux réalisés par Anton Corbijn, en DVD et Blu-ray le 8 décembre. Strange (1988) et Strange Too (1990) n'étaient jusqu'à présent disponibles que séparément, sous forme de VHS et de Laserdisc, aujourd'hui épuisés. Les deux films ont été réalisés et filmés en Super 8 par Corbijn et ont été restaurés à partir des sources originales pour la sortie du DVD et du Blu-ray. Anton Corbijn lui-même a participé au processus de restauration des bandes, qui s'est étalé sur plusieurs années, avec la participation d'autres personnes impliquées dans les films originaux. Pink Floyd a annoncé la sortie d'une édition spéciale de son album de 1970, Atom Heart Mother, le premier album numéro 1 du groupe, le 8 décembre. Cette nouvelle réédition, initialement sortie au Japon en 2021, contient des images de la suite d'Atom Heart Mother jouée au Hakone Aphrodite Festival - qui s'est tenu à côté du lac Hakone Ashinoko au Japon, les 6 et 7 août 1971 - et qui a été publiée à l'origine dans le coffret The Early Years. Le retour de Tommy des Who à Broadway est prévu pour le printemps 2024. Les avant-premières débuteront le 8 mars 2024 au Nederlander Theatre avant la première le 28 mars 2024. L'adaptation musicale de l'album conceptuel des Who de 1969 et de l'adaptation cinématographique de 1975 qui s'en est suivie revient trois décennies après sa première représentation à Broadway en 1993. Dirigée par le metteur en scène original de la comédie musicale, Des McAnuff, la reprise est décrite comme une version réimaginée du spectacle. La musique et les paroles sont bien sûr signées Pete Townshend, qui a coécrit le livre avec McAnuff. The Darkness a dévoilé la bande-annonce de son prochain documentaire Welcome To The Darkness. L'intrigue montre le groupe sur la voie du retour après leur séparation en 2006, jouant de petits concerts peu fréquentés et s'efforçant de retrouver ce qui a fait le succès de leur premier album Permission To Land (dont le groupe vient de fêter les 20 ans avec une réédition sortie le 6 octobre). --- Classic 21 vous informe des dernières actualités du rock, en Belgique et partout ailleurs.

Hosts Briana Phipps, Alexis Torres, Timothy Rodriguez, Drexel Heard discuss the Rent Theater Show. Rent is a rock musical with music, lyrics and book by Jonathan Larson, loosely based on Giacomo Puccini's opera La Bohème. It tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in New York City's East Village in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The musical was first seen in a workshop production at New York Theatre Workshop in 1993. This same Off-Broadway theatre was also the musical's initial home following its official 1996 opening. The show's creator, Jonathan Larson, died suddenly of an aortic dissection, believed to have been caused by undiagnosed Marfan syndrome, the night before the Off-Broadway premiere. The show won a Pulitzer Prize, and the production was a hit. The musical moved to Broadway's larger Nederlander Theatre on April 29, 1996. On Broadway, Re
With its suggestive exclamation point, the title of the new Broadway musical Disaster! hints at the campy, over-the-top qualities it brings to the Nederlander Theatre. Set on a cruise ship precariously moored along the Hudson River, the show spoofs disaster movies such as The Poseidon Adventure and Earthquake that were popular in the 1970s. It also features a number of disco hits and pop songs of the era. Written by Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick, the production has assembled a cast of well-known Broadway names: Faith Prince, Roger Bart, Adam Pascal and Kerry Butler, among them. New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood has experienced this Disaster! first-hand and weighs in on its less-than calamitous results.
The story behind one of the best-known hymns in the English language is the subject of the new Broadway musical "Amazing Grace." The show tells the story of the man who wrote, “I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see.” John Newton worked in the English slave trade before changing his ways and becoming a spokesman for abolition in Great Britain — and a hymn writer. The production at the Nederlander Theatre features a score by Christopher Smith, a newcomer to musical theater, and a book by Smith and Arthur Giron. New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood reviews it in this conversation.
