Super Bowl And Heisman Trophy Winner To Make Broadway Debut In Chicago

That's right theatre fans. Or should I say sport's fans. One of football's most decorated athlete's of all time is set to make his Broadway debut in 2016. Have you guessed who it is yet? No? I'll give you one more clue. The championship team he played for was the Tennessee Titans. Now do you know who it is? O.K. O.K. I won't hold you in suspense any longer.

It is none other than Ohio State University's Eddie George. He of course won the Heisman Trophy in 1995 and led the Tennessee Titans to the Super Bowl in 2000. Now before you start thinking this is some sort of publicity stunt it is not. Following his retirement in 2004, followed by a stint in commentary, he formed his own theatre company (Actors by George) in 2012.

Since that time he has starred in Matthew Lopez's The Whipping Man, as well as Suzan-Lori Parks' Topdog/Underdog, as well as countless other show's. The big question of course is, " Can he sing?" We are about to find out. Mr. George is scheduled to make his Broadway debut as lawyer Billy Flynn on January 11 and will play thru February 28. Tickets are now on sale so don't delay. Get your tickets to see Eddie George in Chicago on Broadway at the Ambassador Theatre. Until next time sport's fans.

A.R Gurney's Sylvia To Open Tonight On Broadway

Pet owners rejoice. You finally have a show that you can relate too. Now while I personally have never owned a dog, I have owned several different pet's over the years. My first was a hamster. Not the same as a dog I know, but it was still a beloved pet just the same. Now if you haven't figured out by now, Sylvia is about a dog. Well a dog and it's owner.

Of course Sylvia is not your typical dog. It talks. Not only that, but it's being played by recent Tony Award winner Annaleigh Ashford. The original production, which premiered Off-Broadway is 1995, starred Emmy Award winner Sarah Jessica Parker in the title role. This time around the role of Sylvia's owner is being played by Tony winner Matthew Broderick, who in case you didn't know is married to Ms. Parker.

But of course you knew that right? Rounding out the cast are Tony winner Julie White and Drama Desk winner Robert Sella. Sounds like a great cast to me. By the way, for those of you who are looking to get tickets, you are in luck. We sell it. Not only that, but from now thru November 22 you can get tickets to see Sylvia at prices that can't be beat. Plus because the theatre is so small, there is literally not a bad seat in the house. Sounds like a win-win to me. Get your tickets to see Sylvia on Broadway at the Cort Theatre. Until next theatre fans.

On Your Feet Is A Must See

Now I'll be the first to admit, that when it was announced last year that they were making a musical about Gloria Estefan, I was more than a little skeptical. After all for every Jersey Boys and Mamma Mia, there is All Shook Up and Good Vibrations. Well imagine my surprise when I saw the show this past Saturday and loved it. In fact I liked it even more than Jersey Boys, and that is one of my favorite shows. What an incredible night in the theatre. Now going in of course I knew most of the songs.

Therefore I knew at least the music would be good. Being a writer myself I know how the book can make or break a show. Thankfully it was solid. Yes I know it's a true story. But the truth is it could have gone either way. Besides an incredible story, the performances from everyone to the ensemble, to the leads were top notch. See? I told you I loved the show, and you will too. The only question is how to get tickets? Well good news theatre fans. We sell it. Not only that, but if you call right now you can get tickets to see the show at some incredible rates.

By the way, I saw the show from Row P of the Orchestra all the way on the side. Oh and just in case you were wondering, it was a great view. So basically what I am saying is all the seats are great. Anyway back to the tickets. From now thru December 23 you can get tickets to see On Your Feet at prices that can't be beat. Be advised that while this "Insider Price" is good for the above date it is for select seats, and as always subject to availability. Get your tickets to see On Your Feet on Broadway at the Marquis Theatre. It is fantastic. Until next time theatre fans.

Dames At Sea To Open Tonight On Broadway

That's right theatre fans. Dames It Sea is headed to the Great White Way. Not only that but it is also the first time the show has been on Broadway. Who knew? Believe it or not but the show first premiered in 1966 at a place called Caffe Cino. Let me guess. Never heard of it have you? Well as it turns out not only was it located in the heart of Greenwich Village, but it was also the birthplace of Off-Off-Broadway.

Now I know a lot about New York theatre history and even I didn't know that. So, now that you know where the show originated, I'm guessing you might want to know what the show's about right? Exactly. Well for starter's it takes place in New York City in the 1930's. Sounds good so far. A young and naïve girl arrives with dreams of becoming a star.

Now I know whet you're thinking. Kind of sounds like 42nd Street right? Trust me. I thought the same thing. As it turns out, the show is actually a parody of a series of movie's by famed director and choreographer Busby Berkeley from the 1930's. Now I get it. So there you have it folks. wait a minute. I almost forgot the most important thing.

How do you get tickets to see it? Well my friends it is easier than you might think. Not only that but if you call right no you can get tickets to see the show at some incredible savings. Be advised that while this "Special Offer" is good thru November 13, it is for select seats, and as always subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Dames At Sea on Broadway at the Helen Hayes Theatre. Until next time theatre fans.

America's Longest Running Play To Make It's New York Debut This Fall

That's right theatre fans. Sheer Madness is headed to the Big Apple. What's that you say? You've never heard of it? Well believe it or not, but it's actually been playing in Boston for over thirty-five years. Not only that, but the Washington D.C. production just recently celebrated it's twenty-eighth year at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Now here we are in 2015 and Sheer Madness is ready to take New York by storm. Performances are set to begin Off-Broadway at New World Stages on October 22, with opening night scheduled for November 11. So now that you know when and where it's playing, I'm guessing you probably want to know what it's about right?

Well for starters, it takes place in a unisex hair salon in the city in which it plays. Chaos ensues when the building's landlady is suddenly murdered. Then throughout the evening the audience become participants in the show by questioning the actor's as they attempt to solve the crime. Because of this, the ending for each performance is different as the audience gets to choose who is guilty. Sound's like fun to me. Tickets for the show are now on sale so don't delay. Get your tickets to see Sheer Madness at New World Stages. Until next time theatre fans.
