THE ADDAMS FAMILY, now in its second year on Broadway, began performances in March 2010 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and immediately became one of Broadway's biggest hits. Chris Jones of the
Chicago Tribune described the production as "classic, full-tilt, fast paced, old-fashioned musical comedy!" and John
Simon of Bloomberg News called it "uproarious! A glitzy-gloomy musical entirely worthy of the macabre drawings by Charles Addams." The Addams Family features an original story and it's every father's nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. A man her parents have never met. And if that weren't upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now,
Gomez Addams must do something he's never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.
Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's "normal" boyfriend and his parents. The Addams Family features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. Visit https://www.theaddamsfamilymusicaltour.com for more information.
BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL is the explosive new musical comedy that raises the stakes on over-the-top high school rivalries. Set against the world of competitive cheerleading, this powerhouse new show hilariously proves that winning isn't everything when it means losing something - or someone - you really care about. This original musical comedy combines an exciting new sound, gravity-defying choreography, and a thrilling story to create a show worth cheering for. It's "guaranteed to be everything you wished for, nothing like you expected, but exactly what you will love" (AOL.com). Bring It On: The Musical unites some of the freshest and funniest creative minds on Broadway, including Tony Award®-winning writer Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q); Tony Award®-winning composer Lin-Manuel
Miranda (In The Heights); Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning composer Tom Kitt (Next to Normal) and lyricist
Amanda Green (High Fidelity). Beacon Communications and Universal Pictures, the same duo that have partnered over the past decade to produce the popular series of "
Bring It On" films, have partnered to produce this all-new musical. Visit https://www.bringitonmusical.com for more information.
WEST SIDE STORY, a smash hit Broadway revival of a show about New York City that forever changed musical theater more than fifty years ago, is making history once again. From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents' book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and
Stephen Sondheim — a collection of standards that includes "Tonight," "America," "Maria," "I Feel Pretty" and "
Somewhere" — is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. And the extraordinary, Tony®-winning choreography by
Jerome Robbins completely changed the language of Broadway dance. This groundbreaking new production, directed by the legendary Mr. Laurents, offers a bold new design that builds on the show's raw power and emotion to create a fresh experience unlike any that came before it. Don't miss this thrilling presentation of a matchless work of art. Visit https://www.broadwaywestsidestory.com for more information.
