Start Spreading the News... We're leaving FRIDAY...

By

 


We’re so excited about our Stellar 2024-2025 Season and we’ve been super busy working on Renewals, New Season Ticket subscriptions, Mini Seasons, and Pick 3+ orders. But it turns out we already need to start thinking about our 2025-2026 Season too. That’s ok because we love to multitask here at BTL.

There are THIRTEEN new shows opening on Broadway this month alone. And many of those shows will be sending out National Tours. So that means we need to start vetting these shows for all of you. Translation: ANDREW, LISA, AND I ARE HEADED TO THE BIG APPLE TOMORROW!!

We really will be living our best theatre lives over the weekend! Do you want to know which shows we are seeing in NYC? (This is one of the many reasons working at Broadway Theatre League Huntsville is just the best job). Ok, without further ado, here’s our list of shows for this trip:


  • The Notebook the Musical
  • Water for Elephants a New Musical
  • The Great Gatsby a New Musical
  • Mother Play
  • The Who’s Tommy
  • Stereophonic a Broadway Play with Music
  • Cabaret
  • Merrily We Roll Along
  • The Wiz
  • Hell’s Kitchen a New Musical by Alicia Keys
  • The Outsiders a New Musical 

 

Then of course throw in a pre-show visit to Ellen’s Stardust Diner in Times Square to cheer on the singing waiters. Maybe post-show we’ll head down to Greenwich Village to belt out a few tunes at The Duplex Piano Bar & then barhop a couple of blocks away to Marie’s Crisis Café – Broadway Showtunes “Sing-along” Piano Bar. Obviously, we will end the night dancing in the fountain at Lincoln Center with Liza! No, not Liza Minnelli, but Kip’s friend Liza Kloecker.

And that’s just FRIDAY night!!!

All of this may or may not be true. Well, the “shows” part is definitely true. For the rest I will let you know when we’re back next week. What you can absolutely expect is lots of reviews, photos, and maybe a secret or two from the “city that doesn’t sleep….”


It's possible this is Marie’s Crisis Café – Broadway Showtunes “Sing-along” Piano Bar 

circa 2019  😉


 


You might have seen me as Enjolras in Les Misérables, Munkustrap in Cats or Prince Charming in Cinderella. I used to perform in many Broadway Tours all across the country. Now I report on them and give you an insider's view into this unique little world. So, let's talk about all things Broadway!

Come From Away with Sharon Wheatley

  Sharon Wheatley, original Broadway cast member of “Come From Away”,  sets the record straight   Having the distinction of being the only actress who’s performed in the Broadway productions of Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera and Cats (the final company) among others, Sharon Wheatley was taking a break from New York City when fate intervened and brought Come From Away and her together. Sharon was living in San Diego in 2015 when she received a Facebook message from a casting director saying that she’s perfect for this new show that is originating there, and they needed a local hire. Well Broadway was calling her back to NYC and the rest is history. What was it about Come From Away that persuaded you back to New York City? Come From Away is not a traditional musical. We just happen to be singing as we tell this beautiful story. There are only three applause breaks in the whole show. This one is special! There have been a couple of misconceptions about this show, fo

Mary Badham: From Scout... to Mrs. Dubose

  In 1962 Mary Badham was a child star, charming audiences across America with her portrayal of Scout in the film version of To Kill A Mockingbird (TKAM). She was only 10 years old and was nominated for an Oscar for this role. In fact, she still holds the record for the youngest person to be nominated for this award. I recently rewatched the movie and I was enthralled with Mary’s performance. She was so natural, believable, and plucky as Scout. For me personally, when child actors are trying too hard to act it comes across as disingenuous. I’d much prefer the raw talent of a child, like Mary, in the hands of a skilled director (Robert Mulligan) and a supportive scene partner (Gregory Peck). And Mary had no acting experience prior to being discovered at an open call for the movie in her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. She just had that “special something” at the audition so the talent scout greenlit her for a screentest and the rest is history. After the huge success of TKAM , M
