Broadway

Two musicians on the run find romance, misadventure, and, most significantly, their true selves in [*Some Like It Hot*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/24262-some-like-it-hot-tickets) on Broadway. Based on the classic Billy Wilder big-screen comedy, the musical gets a fresh coat of paint thanks to bookwriters Matthew Lopez and Amber Ruffin, plus a score that makes it all sing.

The songs are by Marc Shaiman (music and lyrics) and Scott Wittman (lyrics), who are “pros at matching showtunes to a particular period,” as noted in New York Theatre Guide’s [four-star *Some Like It Hot* review](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/some-like-it-hot-broadway-review). Just as they summoned the ’60s in the Tony Award-winning *Hairspray*, the team welcomes audiences to the ’30s in *Some Like It Hot*, which sees its lead characters stow away with a swing big band.

## “What Are You Thirsty For?”

Between the Depression and Prohibition, times were doubly tough in 1933. Bandleader Sweet Sue (NaTasha Yvette Williams) sets the scene lickety-split in the lively opening number in a Chicago speakeasy. In a winking lyric that easily speaks to any era, Sue belts, “At times like these, we could all certainly use a drink.” 

## “You Can’t Have Me (If You Don’t Have Him)”

Jobs are scarce for musicians. But saxophonist Joe ([Christian Borle](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/christian-borle)) and bassist Jerry (J. Harrison Ghee) are also nimble hoofers. When Joe’s twinkle-toed tapping lands him a gig, he refuses to take it without Jerry, who is initially snubbed because he is Black.

“You can’t have proper without the prim, and you can’t have me if you don’t have him!” Joe sings. The plan – and the duo’s fancy footwork – works.

![5 some like it hot-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/4xXLSOfbiq73wS9e3skTJH/db46491d33d6e9170c91cff7be6a26a0/5_some_like_it_hot-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## “Vamp!”

This high-spirited number earns its exclamation point. After Joe and Jerry witness a mob execution, they hatch a quick scheme to save their lives. “Time to improvise,” they sing, donning wigs and frocks and reinventing themselves as women. Joe becomes Josephine, and Jerry morphs into Geraldine, which he later changes to Daphne.

## “I’m California Bound”

Intent on escaping into Mexico, the masquerading musicians join Sweet Sue’s all-girl band, the Society Syncopators, headed to San Diego. Also on board is singer Sugar Kane (Adrianna Hicks), who’s had it with men chasing her. “Hey ladies, all aboard, whether you’re running away or running toward!” porters sing in the big number.

## “A Darker Shade of Blue”

Everybody’s got their romantic kryptonite. For Sugar, it’s men who play sax – even though they always disappoint. “When a saxophone starts crying,” she says in the torch song, “that’s when night takes its cue to turn a darker shade of blue.”

![2 some like it hot-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/2Tw6BBa1k8OK21tSASJS5Z/940b9a1a33392e8a89336dc34aecc1f3/2_some_like_it_hot-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## “Take It Up a Step”

When Sue demands her band polish their act, Sugar, Josephine, and Daphne take the lead on this song. The title lyric is a metaphor for how you must shift into high gear to get what you want.

## “Zee Bap”

This novelty number sees Sue, Josephine, and Daphne let loose with high-energy scatting. They educate fellow bandmates on how to deal with men behaving like creeps: Shut them down by saying, “Zee bag zah bootalee atta feet bam-bam.” Silly and fun? You bet.

## “At the Old Majestic Nickel Matinee”

In this beautiful and bittersweet solo, Sugar, reconceived for the musical as a Black woman, shares that movies offered a world beyond her rural, segregated one. “Up there on the screen, there was romance, and the make-believe carried me away,” Sugar sings, revealing her dreams to be a movie star someday. “Because no one I’d ever seen were like the stars up on the screen.”

![1 some like it hot-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/60bl9xOY63DGZIq7srVBNo/cde27655be206d00abb379cb8539a5de/1_some_like_it_hot-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## “Poor Little Millionaire”

This fizzy, doo-wop-laced song introduces goofy Osgood (Kevin del Aguila), who’s been drowning in money since his father invented root beer. However, he laments, his love life is “all at sea.” Then he sees Daphne, and he's immediately smitten.

## “Some Like It Hot” 

Shaiman and Wittman fire on all cylinders in this irresistible first-act finale that leads to a pre-intermission cliffhanger. “So ladies, Hades is the spot to be what angels sure are not,” everyone sings. “Some like it hot, and hot is what I got for you!” 

## “Let’s Be Bad”

Fans of the TV series *Smash* will recognize this song, as Shaiman and Wittman wrote it ten years ago for that show about the making of a Marilyn Monroe musical. Osgood, Daphne, and the Syncopators girls sing a reimagined version here as the root beer baron whisks them away for a night out in Mexico.

![4 some like it hot-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/21NCzYg5BDRB6leVTF45Xd/92494463ce6fdd47120ffda5dbfa46bb/4_some_like_it_hot-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## “Dance the World Away”

Joe adopts another disguise, as a Hollywood screenwriter named Kip, to win over Sugar. It works as they share this old-school, swoon-worthy song while dancing a romantic waltz.

## “Fly, Mariposa, Fly”

*Some Like It Hot* is about transformation and personal identity, and Osgood’s song underscores that idea. He shares a childhood story about a butterfly’s life stages, a tale he finds comforting when he's confused about who he is. It’s a smart song that gets bonus points for the clever rhyme “Mother’s Nature’s kiss” and “metamorphosis.” 

## “You Coulda Knocked Me Over With a Feather”

Daphne’s song is about the surprise of self-discovery and embracing one’s true being, as the character realizes Jerry and Daphne are two equally important sides of their truest identity. “I know that Daphne is the best part of me. Oh, yeah! Daphne is who I want to be!” Daphne sings. That Ghee is nonbinary adds to the song’s impact.

## “He Lied When He Said Hello”

Joe’s feelings for Sugar inspire him to come clean about his identity – and it isn’t Josephine or Kip. He breaks off "Kip's" relationship with Sugar with a letter and sings, “We’re through with pretending. It’s time to do right. I’m gonna have a happy ending.”

![some like it hot 6-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/3ptHd9hlTqkeO6cMSAPKEp/a7c116d4beda9885cd60194fa8cebe6c/some_like_it_hot_6-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## “Ride Out the Storm”

“I thought that I had found shelter — someone to brighten the day. But now comes the rain, so I welcome the rain… to wash all my sorrow away.” A heartbroken Sugar bares her soul in this 11 o'clock number that uses the time-honored metaphor of stormy weather to symbolize romantic trouble. 

## “Tip Tap Trouble”

Doors are slamming. Gangsters are chasing. Everybody’s running — and dancing — as fast as they can. The whole cast gets in on this fast-paced farce sequence where the police hunt for murderous mobster Spats, Spats hunts for Joe and Jerry, and everyone else is just trying to escape alive.

## “Baby, Let’s Get Good”

The last line of Wilder's film – “Nobody’s perfect” – is woven into the show's rousing finale. What’s perfect is that at this point, Prohibition has lifted, and the good times will roll. Similarly, good times will come your way at *Some Like It Hot*.

## *A Doll’s House*

Henrik Ibsen’s groundbreaking play starring [Jessica Chastain](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jessica-chastain) will keep you captivated with a story about a woman taking control of her life despite difficult circumstances. Written in 1879, *A Doll’s House* tackles themes ahead of its time, even drawing backlash for challenging gender norms and expectations of mothers and wives. A female writer, Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Herzog, updated Ibsen’s script for this revival.

The lead character, Nora Helmer, questions her marriage while harboring a secret from her husband, wishing to leave and live an independent life. *A Doll’s House* made history as an early work featuring a strong female lead who wants more than society has allowed her.

## *Bad Cinderella*

Interested in another heroine who could use more agency in her own story? See Andrew Lloyd Webber’s *Bad Cinderella*, which retells the classic tale in a way where Cinderella isn’t looking for Prince Charming. (In fact, he’s dead.)

Instead of a soft-natured Cinderella who quietly accepts her fate until the Fairy Godmother arrives, this “bad” Cinderella is a rebel raging against her cruel stepmother, stepsisters, and the town that rejects her. Although she finds a happily ever after, the joy comes from accepting exactly how she is — not from suddenly becoming a beautiful princess.

## *Chicago*

There’s no doubt about the sheer female power in *Chicago*, a jazzy musical that’s run on Broadway continuously since 1996. *Chicago* features a majority-female principal cast led by Roxie Hart, who rises to celebrity status during her murder trial. In 2023, drag queen Jinkx Monsoon made history playing Matron “Mama” Morton, the warden at Roxie's jail.

The show features powerful vocals and showstopping numbers like “All That Jazz” and “Nowadays.” If you’ve only seen the famous movie version starring Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, you’ll want to check out the musical to get a taste of all that jazz live.

Based on the cult classic Baz Luhrmann film, *Moulin Rouge! The Musical* transports audiences to Paris’s bohemian Montmartre district at the turn of the 20th century.

Who told you you’re allowed to rain on her parade? If anyone is willing to go after exactly what she wants without hesitation, it’s *Funny Girl*’s Fanny Brice. Based on the true story of Ziegfeld Follies showgirl and comedian Fanny Brice, the musical follows her upbringing in an immigrant Jewish family with big dreams of stardom and her success as a comedic actress in the Follies.

You’ll not only hear [Lea Michele](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/lea-michele) sing the famous showstopper “Don’t Rain on My Parade” at *Funny Girl* on Broadway, but you’ll also learn about a pioneering female comedian who paved the way for other “funny girls” who came after her.

## *Six*

Listen up and let them tell you a story. *Six* is the musical sensation that has taken Broadway by storm since premiering in 2020, featuring the six wives of Henry VIII — except this time, you get to hear about their lives in their own words. The show flips the script by allowing these women, historically known as little more than wives, to make their voices heard, independent of the king.

You’ll have a blast at this high-octane musical that mimics a pop concert, and you’ll also learn history about these women and the parts of their lives often left out of textbooks.

## *Once Upon a One More Time*

This women-powered jukebox musical takes the songs of Britney Spears and sets them to a new story about fairytale princesses you know and love. They realize they have the power to create their own happily ever afters — no princes required.

In the vein of *Bad Cinderella* and *& Juliet*, this new musical retells the stories of famous female characters, creating more empowering paths than those in their original narratives. In other words, they’re stronger than yesterday, and now there’s nothing in their way.

Sondheim and bookwriter David Ives based *Here We Are* on two films by Luis Buñuel: 1972's *The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie*, about six middle-class urbanites whose dinner party is constantly interrupted, and 1962's *The Exterminating Angel*, about wealthy guests trapped at a dinner party of their own.

Sondheim and Ives's adaptation was originally called *Square One*, and various private workshops have taken place since news of the musical first broke in 2014.

Directing *Here We Are* off Broadway is Joe Mantello, a two-time Tony Award winner for *Assassins* and *Take Me Out*. He is also known for directing shows including [*Wicked*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/1-wicked-musical-tickets), *The Humans*, and this spring's *Grey House*, a new play starring Laurie Metcalf.

New Stephen Sondheim musical 'Here We Are' to premiere off Broadway

Here We Are - NYC

Here We Are

This new show, based on two films by Luis Buñuel, will play at The Shed and is the final musical Stephen Sondheim composed before his death in 2021.

The new play [*Room*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27517-room-on-broadway) has postponed its Broadway premiere indefinitely. The show, starring [Adrienne Warren](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/adrienne-warren), was set to play a limited engagement at the [James Earl Jones Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/james-earl-jones-theatre) from April 3 to September 17.

“In the midst of our rehearsals we were informed by one of our Lead Producers that due to personal reasons, they did not intend to fulfill their obligations to the production," producer Hunter Arnold said in a statement about the postponement.

"Since being notified, the rest of the producing team has exhausted all possible avenues to keep the show on track, but the narrow timeline and economic shortfall created by this series of events has proven to be insurmountable."

The current production is shut down as of March 16.

*Room* is based on the same-named book and movie about a woman and her young son facing the outside world after years of being held in captivity. Emma Donoghue wrote the novel, screenplay, and the script for the stage adaptation. Cora Bissett and Kathryn Joseph wrote songs for the show, and Bissett was set to direct.

The show is based on the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Nearly 63 years after premiering on Broadway, *Camelot* has carved its rightful place as a beloved classic.

## Aaron Sorkin updated the story.

This revival is not your grandmother’s *Camelot*. Since the beginning, the show’s sprawling story has been challenging to tell coherently. Director Bartlett Sher tapped Aaron Sorkin to update the book. Sorkin, who won an Oscar for writing *The Social Network*, a contemporary drama of power plays, brings the musical’s story down to earth while maintaining its epic sweep.

Sorkin scrapped *Camelot*'s supernatural elements, so the stakes are all on a human level, and you can’t get higher than that. Plus, Sorkin situated the story on the eve of the Enlightenment. The poetic richness of that era speaks for itself, but this change also means Arthur is no longer in a fantasy bubble. His story now affects an actual period of history.

## *Camelot* has a timeless takeaway.

Camelot is the mythical title kingdom that shone brightly, if briefly. Arthur goes from an idealistic young monarch who dreams of a just, democratic society to a despairing ruler who realizes his utopian visions have imploded.

A downer? Maybe. But Camelot’s brief rise is reason to rejoice – and to hope again for “a fleeting wisp of glory,” as the show famously says. Right now, a dose of optimism – and the reminder that greatness may be in anyone’s grasp – could do us some good.

## *Camelot* is symbolic of the Kennedys.

One way to measure the reach of a musical is to look beyond the stage to its impact on pop culture. *Camelot* debuted on Broadway as John F. Kennedy was en route to becoming president. In the same way people know Arthur and his knights as chivalrous, they romanticize the Kennedy administration as a period of optimism. 

“The Kennedys saw the show, and Jack loved it," Sorkin has said. "Jackie started calling their White House ‘Camelot.’” Today, it’s uncertain if that’s 100% true. But it’s the stuff of legend – and that’s what this musical is about. 

## *Camelot* showcases dramas of the heart and sword.

Love triangles and power battles are storytelling staples that don’t get old, and both are at the heart of *Camelot*. Despite her marriage to Arthur, Queen Guenevere becomes increasingly unable to resist her feelings for Sir Lancelot. That’s going to hurt. The king’s illegitimate son, Mordred, plots to overtake the throne. Ditto. These two events thread together and contribute to the demise of Arthur’s dream.

## *Camelot* has a vibrant, celebrated cast.

The show’s principal roles now belong to a trio of proven Broadway talents. A Tony Award winner for *The Inheritance*, Andrew Burnap plays the idealistic Arthur. [*Hamilton*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/384-hamilton-tickets) Tony nominee Phillipa Soo is the conflicted Guenevere, and *My Fair Lady* alum Jordan Donica heats things up as Lancelot. Richard Burton, Julie Andrews, and Robert Goulet originated the three juicy roles.

## Royal rubbernecking never gets old.

Royal intrigue is forever fascinating. The show offers this reminder on stage, and the coronation of England’s King Charles III in the lusty month of May (the 3rd, to be specific) provides one in the real world.

## The musical’s songs are royal treats.

Lerner and Loewe’s score has many crown jewels. Among them are the buoyant title song and the jaunty “The Lusty Month of May.” “If Ever I Would Leave You” is hard to beat for sheer swoon appeal. Various artists like Aretha Franklin and Il Divo have covered the song. 

## You’ll hear an orchestra with oomph.

A royal epic deserves a lush background. This new production boasts a 30-piece orchestra and the show’s original orchestrations. When you have such beautiful songs, showcase them to the max.

## The director is in his element.

Director Bartlett Sher, who previously collaborated with Sorkin on the Broadway play *To Kill a Mockingbird*, has lots of experience making classic musicals shine anew on stage at the Beaumont in Lincoln Center. He’s previously guided hit revivals of *South Pacific*, *The King and I*, and *My Fair Lady* on that grand stage. 

## *Camelot* is a Broadway time machine.

*Camelot* debuted in 1960 during the Golden Age of Broadway. Now, a new generation of theatregoers experiences the show with fresh eyes and ears. Today’s audiences get the best of both worlds: the pleasing nostalgia of a classic musical and a script by a celebrated contemporary writer. Together, they remind us that *Camelot*’s messages of hope, honor, and love outlast any kingdom.

He's gonna be startin' somethin'! Elijah Rhea Johnson will make his Broadway debut as Michael Jackson in [*MJ The Musical*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/23379-mj-the-musical-tickets) on Broadway this spring. He begins performances at the [Neil Simon Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/neil-simon-theatre) on April 4.

Johnson makes his Broadway debut in the role; however, this isn't his first time with *MJ*. He played the role of a younger Michael Jackson in pre-Broadway workshops of *MJ*, and he also starred in touring and Las Vegas productions of *The Lion King* as a child.

Johnson takes over the role from Myles Frost, who departs *MJ The Musical* on April 2. Frost made history in 2022 as the youngest solo actor to win the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical at 22 years old.

*MJ The Musical* recounts the life and career of Michael Jackson through all his hit songs. When an MTV camera crew arrives at tour rehearsals to film a documentary about Jackson, he and audiences look back through his most formative memories and career highlights.

Director/choreographer Christopher Wheeldon won the Best Choreography Tony Award for *MJ*, and the script is by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage.

## Who is in the *MJ The Musical* Broadway cast?

In addition to Johnson as Michael Jackson, the principal cast of *MJ The Musical* also includes Tavon Olds-Sample, Bane Griffith, Christian Wilson, Quentin Earl Darrington, Whitney Bashor, Gabriel Ruiz, Antoine L.

Join the circle of life and experience the majesty of&nbsp;The Lion King&nbsp;on Broadway at the <a href="/theatres/minskoff-theatre">Minskoff Theatre</a>. Get The Lion King tickets now.

Broadway's&nbsp;The Lion King&nbsp;roared onto the scene in 1997, just three years after the release of the animated classic. The plot of the film remains the same on stage: Simba, a young lion cub, must defeat his evil uncle Scar and take his rightful place as King of the Pride Lands.

The Lion King opened at the <a href="/theatres/new-amsterdam-theatre">New Amsterdam Theatre</a>, the home base of Disney on Broadway, in November 1997, transferring to the Minskoff in 2006.

The successful reimagining&nbsp;of The Lion King&nbsp;on stage is largely thanks to the creative genius of director and costume designer Julie Taymor. In 1998, she was awarded two Tony Awards in those respective categories, and the production itself picked up a total of six Tonys, including Best Musical. Her costumes incorporate various theatrical traditions of puppetry, with headdresses that portray the animal character each actor represents while never hiding the actor's face. They are highly detailed, merging textiles and fabrics with elements of African traditions and customs. As much as the timeless story, the stagecraft is one of the main reasons The Lion King on Broadway is iconic on its own.

## Who wrote the music for *The Lion King*?

Elton John and Tim Rice wrote the music for *The Lion King* musical and movie. All the beloved songs from the animated classic remain in the musical, including "Circle of Life," "I Just Can't Wait to Be King," "Be Prepared,"&nbsp;"Hakuna Matata,"&nbsp;and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" Lebo M, Hans Zimmer, Mark Mancina, and Jay Rifkin also wrote additional songs for the musical, such as "They Live in You," "Shadowland," and "Endless Night."

## How long is *The Lion King* on Broadway?

*The Lion King* runs 2 hours and 30 minutes, including an intermission.

The Lion King&nbsp;is the perfect introduction for kids to the wonders of live theatre, and its themes and stylistic maturity are timelessly appropriate for theatregoers of all ages. So feel the love tonight and see why The Lion King in New York remains the pride of Broadway.

(Photos by Joan Marcus)

Based on the animated Disney classic, *The Lion King* features hit Elton John songs like "Circle of Life," "Hakuna Matata" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" Witness the story of a lion cub following in his father's royal footsteps, brought to life with awe-inspiring puppetry evocative of the African savannah.

Tom Stoppard's Olivier-winning play,&nbsp;Leopoldstadt, is playing a limited Broadway engagement at the&nbsp;Longacre Theatre. Get&nbsp;Leopoldstadt&nbsp;tickets on New York Theatre Guide. Tickets to&nbsp;Leopoldstadt&nbsp;on Broadway are on sale now.The&nbsp;Leopoldstadt&nbsp;play is named for the Jewish quarter of Vienna, Austria. The drama begins at the end of&nbsp;1899 and ends in 1955, following multiple generations of one Jewish extended family that live through that period. The many family members (there's a 38-person cast, including some original London members and Broadway veterans) in the different generations all have different backgrounds, lived experiences, and depths of faith as Jews. But historical circumstances — including one of the darkest eras of human history — force them all to reckon with their identity. The play is at once a deep dive into Jewish history, a recognition of Jewish people's endurance, and one playwright's deeply personal declaration of his own heritage.The family in&nbsp;Leopoldstadt&nbsp;is not directly based on Stoppard's own, but the play is loosely based on history he learned at a late stage of his life. The 85-year-old Stoppard only discovered he was fully Jewish in the 1990s, when a Czech relative of his contacted him and taught him about his mother's extended family, many of whom were killed in the Holocaust. This experience inspired Stoppard to write a play centered around Judaism, and critics have called&nbsp;Leopoldstadt&nbsp;his most "personal" and "intimate" work. He has also said&nbsp;Leopoldstadt&nbsp;is likely the last play he will ever write.<a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/review-tom-stoppards-leopoldstadt-at-the-wyndhams-theatre" target="_blank">A Leopoldstadt&nbsp;review on London Theatre reads</a>: "It is played and staged with a glowing warmth throughout, with lovely and loving ensemble character work on display across the board.&nbsp;This is a powerful, important new play from one of our greatest living playwrights that, should it prove to be his swansong, means he has gone out on a significant high, even as he dramatises a low point on world history."The show differs in some ways from Stoppard's past plays, 16 of which have appeared on Broadway. Stoppard's shows often jump back and forth in time, but&nbsp;Leopoldstadt&nbsp;moves through time chronologically, making the different generations easier to follow. (Past productions have also included a family tree in the program as a guide.) There's also less showy intellectual banter in Leopoldstadt than his plays usually include, though there is plenty of political theory and historical context to help audiences understand the state of the world the characters are living in.

## How long is *Leopoldstadt*?

*Leopoldstadt* runs approximately two hours. There is no intermission.

## Who is Tom Stoppard?

Tom Stoppard is a British playwright, often regarded as one of the best living playwrights of today. Stoppard made his Broadway debut with&nbsp;Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, which remains one of his most famous works, in 1967. Between that show and his most recent Broadway production — a revival of the Best Play-winning&nbsp;Travesties&nbsp;in 2018 — his works have won six Best Play Tony Awards. He's also won three Best New Play Olivier Awards for his London premieres, including&nbsp;Leopoldstadt, and he has Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA Awards for writing the screenplay for&nbsp;Shakespeare in Love.&nbsp;In 1997, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his illustrious theatre career.

Get tickets to&nbsp;Leopoldstadt in New York&nbsp;now.

World-renowned playwright Tom Stoppard returns to Broadway with his most personal work yet. *Leopoldstadt* spans 50 years of time over two hours, telling a heartfelt and heartbreaking story of the Holocaust's effect on one Jewish family. Get tickets now to this award-winning play, which combines philosophical and personal sentiments derived from Stoppard’s own Jewish heritage.

A new Kander and Ebb musical loosely based on Martin Scorsese's *New York, New York* film will open on Broadway in spring 2023. Get *New York, New York* tickets now.

The *New York, New York* musical has the same setting as Scorsese's film: 1946 New York City, just after the second World War. It also features multiple Kander and Ebb tunes that the movie made famous, including the title track, which Frank Sinatra turned into a mainstream hit. That is where the similarities end.

## What is the *New York, New York* musical about?

Scorsese's film centered on a troubled couple played by Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro, but neither of their characters appear in the stage adaptation. This version, written by David Thompson and Sharon Washington, features a new set of characters that includes artists, musicians, actors, and more trying to make it big as the city bounces back. The show promises a big-band sound (which is apt for the 1940s), with a large cast and equally large-scale choreography.

Director/choreographer Susan Stroman is a natural fit for such a show; she's known for her work on other high-energy mega-musicals like *The Music Man* and *Bullets Over Broadway*. She is a five-time Tony winner, four times for choreography (*The Producers*, *Contact*, *Show Boat*, *Crazy for You*) and once for direction (*The Producers*). In 2022, she made her Broadway straight play directing debut with *POTUS*.

## Who are Kander and Ebb?

John Kander and the late Fred Ebb are one of the most famous writing duos in musical theatre history, having penned musicals like *Chicago* and *Cabaret*. *New York, New York* on Broadway will include their classic hits alongside some new tunes, composed by Kander and featuring lyrics by *Hamilton*, *In the Heights*, and *Encanto* songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Get *New York, New York* tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. So make it to Broadway for this musical featuring new and classic songs from Kander and Ebb — including the iconic title theme — and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Loosely based on Martin Scorsese's film, this show celebrates the city with plenty of large-scale song and dance. Learn more about tickets today.

She's stronger than yesterday! Having run to acclaim in London's West End for three years and counting, the pop musical&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;is making its Broadway debut. Get&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;tickets now.This musical,&nbsp;set to modern pop songs from the catalog of Max Martin, features an original story about what might happen if Juliet did not die at the end of&nbsp;Romeo &amp; Juliet. Before you go, discover more about what to expect from this energetic, larger-than-life pop extravaganza.<h2>What is&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;about?</h2>The&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;musical kicks off nearly where&nbsp;Romeo &amp; Juliet&nbsp;left off: right before Juliet's death. This isn't a retelling of Shakespeare's tragedy, though; it's a whole new story in which Juliet decides losing Romeo doesn't mean she should die. Instead, she goes on a journey of self-discovery to Paris. Accompanied by her friends — which include some characters from the original play, like the nurse, as well as new characters, like her friends Francois and May — she goes to parties, makes new friends, falls in love (again), and sees what the world has to offer beyond the stifling walls of Verona.&nbsp;The whole story is narrated by Shakespeare and his wife, Anne Hathaway, who are actually writing the story as they go along. Anne learns of Shakespeare's original&nbsp;Romeo &amp; Juliet&nbsp;ending and dislikes it, so she takes over.&nbsp;With Anne at the helm, Juliet gets more agency and depth independent of her relationship with Romeo, and&nbsp;a more positive lease on life. Anne even writes herself and Shakespeare in as characters, and debating their different ideas for the story ends up helping them work out the issues in their marriage.The story is full of energy and laughs, as the&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;book is by David West Read, a writer on the Emmy Award-winning&nbsp;Schitt's Creek.<h2>What songs are in&nbsp;&amp; Juliet?</h2>You may listen to top 40 radio, but you've never heard your favorite songs like this.&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;has one new song, but the show mostly includes existing popular music. All 30 pop songs in&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;were written or co-written by Max Martin, who's behind the hits of stars like Britney Spears, P!nk, Kesha, Katy Perry, *NSYNC, and The Backstreet Boys. Anyone who grew up with, or just knows all the words to, hits from the 90s through today will relive their teenage dreams at this show. Here are all the songs you'll hear — how many do you know?<ul> <li>"Larger than Life"</li> <li>"I Want It That Way"</li> <li>"...Baby One More Time"</li> <li>"Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely"</li> <li>"Domino"</li> <li>"Show Me Love"</li> <li>"Blow"</li> <li>"I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman"</li> <li>"Overprotected"</li> <li>"Confident"</li> <li>"Teenage Dream"</li> <li>"Oops!... I Did It Again"</li> <li>"I Kissed a Girl"</li> <li>"It's My Life"</li> <li>"Love Me Like You Do"</li> <li>"Since U Been Gone"</li> <li>"Whataya Want From Me"</li> <li>"One More Try"</li> <li>"Problem" / "Can't Feel My Face"</li> <li>"That's the Way It Is"</li> <li>"Everybody (Backstreet's Back)"</li> <li>"As Long as You Love Me"</li> <li>"It's Gonna Be Me"</li> <li>"Shape of My Heart"</li> <li>"Stronger"</li> <li>"Fuckin' Perfect"</li> <li>"Roar"</li> <li>"Can't Stop the Feeling!"</li></ul><h2>More information about&nbsp;&amp; Juliet</h2>&amp; Juliet&nbsp;had its world premiere in 2019 in London's West End, where it's playing through March 2023. The show received nine Olivier Award nominations and critical acclaim; a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/review-max-martin-musical-and-juliet-shaftesbury-theatre" target="_blank">London Theatre review</a>&nbsp;reads, "Frequently resembling a series of pop videos come to life — thanks to performance platforms that come out of the floor, or benches that take on an aerial life of their own in Soutra Gilmour's sets, aided by Andrzej Goulding's dazzling projections — it is performed with a glinting knowingness and powerful pop theatre voices."Since debuting in London,&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp; made its North American debut in Toronto; that production was the pre-Broadway tryout ahead of the premiere of&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;on Broadway. The musical is also scheduled to make its Australian premiere in Melbourne in February 2023.As long as you love pop music, contemporized classics, and plenty of fun, it's gonna be you that sees&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;in New York soon.

Fire up your DeLorean and travel Back to the Future. The musical adaptation of the cult classic 1985 movie transfers to Broadway in 2023 following a hit London run. Check back for information on Back to the Future tickets.

Like the film, the Back to the Future musical follows teenager Marty McFly and his friend Doc, a scientist who makes a time machine from a DeLorean. The pair end up accidentally using it to travel back to 1955. Besides being the year Doc came up with time travel, that's also when Marty's parents were in high school. When Marty accidentally disrupts their first meeting, he has to figure out how to get them back together again so he doesn't mess up the future — and his life.

Bob Gale, who co-wrote the film with Robert Zemeckis, adapts his screenplay for the stage. With the help of special effects, lots of fan-favorite movie moments, like the flying DeLorean and Marty's gradual disappearance during the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, are recreated for the stage, too.

The film starred Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, both of whom have since seen the *Back to the Future* musical in London's West End (Fox virtually). That production opened in 2021 and later won the 2022 Olivier Award for Best New Musical, along with two additional Oliviers out of seven nominations. Prior, the musical made its world premiere in 2020 in Manchester, England.

The original *Back to the Future* Broadway cast features Roger Bart and Hugh Coles reprising their West End roles as Doc Brown and George McFly, respectively.

## Who wrote the *Back to the Future* music?

The *Back to the Future* musical features an original score by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard, but there are a few hits from the movie featured as well, including "The Power of Love" and "Johnny B. Goode." 

## How long is the *Back to the Future* musical?

*Back to the Future* runs 2 hours and 40 minutes, including an intermission.

BTTF

Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford star in the latest Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's *Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street*. Check back for *Sweeney Todd* tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

The *Sweeney Todd* musical is a tale of malice, murder, and meat pies. The title character, a barber from London, has returned to the city after being wrongly imprisoned by a merciless judge many years before. He's determined to reunite with his family, but equally importantly, get revenge, and uses his old profession to do it. After all, his razors can cut not just hair, but also throats. Todd finds an unlikely accomplice in a meat pie shop owner named Mrs. Lovett, who, unbeknownst to her customers, disposes of Todd's victims by serving them up as dinner. Todd initially plans to only target the judge and his servant, but his and Mrs. Lovett's scheme quickly spirals out of control.

The 2023 revival is the first to feature Jonathan Tunick's original orchestrations, written for a 26-piece band, since the premiere of *Sweeney Todd* on Broadway in 1979. Len Cariou and Angela Lansbury made the roles of Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett iconic with their performances in that production.

Both won Tony Awards for their portrayals, and *Sweeney Todd* won six additional Tonys, including Best Musical. Sondheim won for Best Original Score, Hugh Wheeler won for Best Book of a Musical, and legendary Broadway multihyphenate Harold Prince won for Best Direction of a Musical.

*Sweeney Todd* has been revived on Broadway twice before: in 1989 with Bob Gunton and Beth Fowler, and in 2005 with Michael Cerveris and [Patti LuPone](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/patti-lupone). All four actors received Tony Award nominations for their performances. The show has also played four times in London; its 1980 premiere won the Best New Musical Olivier Award, and two of its revivals won Best Musical Revival.

The musical was last revived off Broadway in 2017. That production was immersive: The [Barrow Street Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/barrow-street-theatre) was converted into Harrington's Pie & Mash Shop, the action took place all around the audience members, and a resident pie maker cooked and served traditional pie and mash before each performance.

Josh Groban leads *Sweeney Todd* in New York in 2023. This is his second Broadway outing, following his turn as Pierre in *Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812* in 2017. He got a Tony nomination for his performance the following year, and his performance at that Tonys ceremony earned him two Emmy nominations. He's also a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum musician known for songs like "You Raise Me Up" and "Believe."

Opposite Groban as Todd is Annaleigh Ashford as Mrs. Lovett. A theatre veteran, she's a Tony winner for *You Can't Take it With You* and a Tony nominee for [*Kinky Boots*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/kinky-boots). Her last Broadway appearance before *Sweeney Todd* was in another Sondheim revival: 2017's *Sunday in the Park with George* opposite Jake Gyllenhaal. She's also performed in popular musicals like [*Wicked*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/wicked-musical), *Legally Blonde*, and *Rent* during her career.

Thomas Kail, a Tony Award winner for [*Hamilton*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/384-hamilton-tickets), directs *Sweeney Todd*. He reunites with fellow Tony-winning *Hamilton* collaborator Alex Lacamoire, who serves as music supervisor.

## Who wrote *Sweeney Todd*?

Stephen Sondheim wrote the songs for *Sweeney Todd*, and Hugh Wheeler wrote the book. The pair also collaborated on *A Little Night Music.*

Emmy winner and Tony nominee Sean Hayes will play pianist, actor, and comedian Oscar Levant in Doug Wright's new play *Good Night, Oscar*. Check back for information on *Good Night, Oscar* tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

The *Good Night, Oscar* play is set in 1958, when Levant made his first appearance on *The Tonight Show* with Jack Paar. That guest spot would be the first of many, but that one cemented Levant's legacy as a notorious wit. He worked uproarious jokes into a frank discussion of his own mental illness and addiction, which shocked, enlightened, and enthralled audiences in equal measure.

The TV censors may have been working overtime, but Levant still managed to change the face of American television, albeit at his own expense. Indeed, once Levant stopped appearing as a guest on his show, Paar would regularly sign off with, "Good night, Oscar Levant, wherever you are" — hence the play's title.

Levant amassed a storied career before his death at age 65. He was primarily a musician known for playing George Gershwin's compositions and composing music for more than 20 Hollywood films. It's fitting that he has a Broadway show about him, as Levant himself performed, composed, and conducted on Broadway.

Prior to *Good Night, Oscar* on Broadway, the show had its world premiere at Chicago's Goodman Theatre in spring 2022, where it received rave reviews. Hayes, who is best known for his Emmy-nominated performance as Jack McFarland on *Will & Grace*, also starred as Levant in that iteration. He now makes his third Broadway appearance with *Good Night, Oscar*, following *An Act of God* in 2016 and *Promises, Promises* in 2010.

## Is *Good Night, Oscar* a true story?

*Good Night, Oscar* is based on a true story. It is based on Levant's real-life television appearances, career, and personal life.

## How long is *Good Night, Oscar*?

*Good Night, Oscar* runs 100 minutes with no intermission.

Check back for information on tickets to *Good Night, Oscar* in New York.

Will & Grace's Sean Hayes reprises his role as infamously witty pianist Oscar Levant in the Broadway premiere of this show, fresh off a hit run in Chicago. Go back to 1958, when Levant shocked America with his unflinching, self-reflective humor on live TV. Learn more about tickets to this dark comedy that will have audiences buzzing.

The show won a record-breaking nine Olivier Awards in London, including Best New Play, and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in New York won six Tonys, including Best Play. The original Broadway cast included&nbsp;seven of the original London stars.

From&nbsp;Steven Hoggett's spellbinding choreography, which renders scene changes and character entrances seamlessly, to John Tiffany's wildly innovative directorial choices&nbsp;in scenes involving the Hogwarts Express or the events of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child&nbsp;is a masterful piece of theatre.

## Is *Harry Potter* on Broadway 2 parts?

*Harry Potter* on Broadway is presented in one part. The show used to be longer: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway was a two-part show, clocking in at more than five hours total.

*A Beautiful Noise*, a new musical based on the life and career of Neil Diamond, made its world premiere in Boston ahead of a Broadway transfer to the Broadhurst Theatre. Get *A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical* tickets on New York Theatre Guide now.

In the *A Beautiful Noise* musical, two actors play Diamond at different stages of his life: as a young man trying to kickstart his musical career, and in the present day when he's faced with a personal and professional crossroads. The story of how he went from a poor, Jewish Brooklyn boy to a beloved, world-famous singer is set to all his greatest hits, like "Sweet Caroline" and "America." 

Diamond's iconic song “Sweet Caroline” has become an anthem to Red Sox fans — at every home game, an eighth-inning singalong takes place at Fenway Park. The song’s connection to Boston was seared into the hearts of millions when, in the immediate aftermath of the 2013 Marathon Bombing, teams around the Major Leagues played the song to show solidarity with the city while at Fenway, Diamond himself took to the field to sing an emotional rendition of the 1969 classic.

The premiere of *A Beautiful Noise* on Broadway coincides with the 50th anniversary of Diamond's concert series at Broadway's [Winter Garden Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/winter-garden-theatre) in 1972. The Winter Garden is only one of the major venues he's played in his storied career — in 2015, for example, he famously played the Barclays Center for a homecoming concert, his first Brooklyn performance in nearly 50 years. For his decades of music, he's won a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award, is a Kennedy Center honoree, and has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

*A Beautiful Noise*'s pre-Broadway tryout took place at Boston's Emerson Colonial Theatre in summer 2022, featuring Tony Award nominees Will Swenson and Mark Jacoby as the younger and older Diamond, respectively. Michael Mayer, who directed the current revival of [*Funny Girl*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/24232-funny-girl-tickets) on Broadway, directs both the Boston and Broadway productions. Choreography is by Steven Hoggett, who's worked in both New York and London and whose Broadway credits include *Once* and *The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time*. He's also the movement director for [*Harry Potter and the Cursed Child*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/13709-harry-potter-and-the-cursed-child-tickets).
