Blackbird Starring Michelle Williams And Jeff Daniels To Open On Broadway In 2016

BlackbirdWhat's that you say? Two of my favorite actor's starring on Broadway in a brand new play? Looks like Christmas has come early. Blackbird, which first premiered in 2005 at the Edinburgh Festival, will begin previews at the Belasco Theatre on February 5, with opening night set for March 10.

The show which is being directed by Tony winner Joe Mantello (Wicked) will play thru June 12. So now that you know who's in it, and when it plays, I'm guessing you probably want to know what it's about right? So let's get to it shall we?

Blackbird, examines the tempestuous relationship between the middle aged Ray (Daniels) and the now twenty-seven year old Una (Williams). Following a fifteen year hiatus, the two encounter each other once again, when Una confronts Ray who has been hiding under a new identity due to their illegal affair from years ago.

Well there you have it folks. Now all you have to do is buy your tickets. Luckily for you we sell it. Well that and every other new show on the Great White Way. Tickets are set to go on sale on December 14, so make sure you don't wait as I expect this is going to be one hot ticket. Get your tickets to see Blackbird on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre. Who knows? Maybe I'll see you there. Until next time theatre fans.

School Of Rock To Begin Previews Tomorrow

School of RockLet me just start off by saying, that School of Rock is one of my favorite movies. Now I'll admit that when it was first announced that they were turning this Jack Black classic into a musical, I was a little surprised. NOT! I think it's a great idea to be honest.  Trust me when I say I never thought I would say that. After all I've never been a big fan of movie to musical transfers.

I guess I'm old school. Give me an original musical any day. The truth is, those are few and far between these days. That's why people look elsewhere for material I guess. Previews for this new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical are set to begin previews at the Winter Garden Theatre on November 9, with opening night scheduled for December 6.

No that's not a typo theatre fans. Mr. Webber is the composer. Now I know what you're thinking. A new rock musical by the same guy who wrote Cats and The Phantom of the Opera? Trust me. I thought it was a little strange too. Then I remembered a little show called Jesus Christ Superstar. Now it makes sense.

Tickets for the show are now available. Not only that, but if you call right now you can tickets to see the show at some incredible prices. Be advised that while this "Special Offer" is good thru December 5, it is for select seats, and as always subject to availability. Get your tickets to see School of Rock on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theatre. I can't wait. Until next time rock fans.

Tickets To Broadway Revival Of Fiddler On The Roof Are Now Available

Fiddler on the RoofOne of my favorite theatrical experiences of all time was performing in a community theatre production of Fiddler On The Roof. Now believe it or not but I have never seen a production. That includes the most recent 2004 Broadway revival. Cut to eleven years later and Fiddler is heading back to the Great White Way. You can guarantee I won't miss this one. For starters it is being headlined by five-time Tony nominee Danny Burstein (Cabaret, Follies). Not only that but it is being directed by Tony winner Bartlett Sher, who's current production of The King and I, is still playing to packed houses eight times a week at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre on Broadway.

Now do you see why I'm so excited about seeing it? By the way for those of you looking to get tickets to the show you are in luck. We sell it. But wait. It gets better. If you give us a call right now, you can get tickets to see the show at prices that can't be beat. Be advised that while this "Special Offer" is good thru January 31, it is not good for performances from December 25 thru January 2, and as always subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Fiddler On The Roof on Broadway at the Broadway Theatre. Who knows? Maybe I'll see you there?

The Rising Cost Of Theatre Tickets And Hamilton

HamiltonLet me guess. You've never heard of Hamilton have you? NOT! It's only the most popular show in the last decade. Maybe two decades. But who's counting right? Now I've sold tickets to hundreds of show's during my tenure at Applause, and I have never seen anything like this. As a matter of fact, just the other day my colleague Todd sold tickets to Hamilton for $2900.

Now I know what you're thinking, "That must be for a small group right?' Wrong. It was for two tickets, and the $2900 was per ticket. Crazy right? I mean for that amount I could pay all my bills, including my rent, for the next two months, and still have some money left over. Oh well. I guess the saying is true. "If you've got it, spend it."

I don't know. Maybe I'm the crazy one. I just happen to think food and shelter is a little more important than sitting in a theatre for three hours. That's just me. Now since I'm in the business of selling tickets, I guess I should write a little bit about it. After all that's why you came to our website in the first place right? So let's get right to it shall we? For starters not every ticket for Hamilton is $2900 a piece. Now are they cheap? Not by a long shot.

However if you are willing to wait a little while, the tickets are a little less. By the way there are partial view seats as early as next April or May. I know. I know. Partial view? Those have to be awful right? Actually they are not as bad as the sound. In fact you only miss less than ten percent of the show. Of sure you could get a full view seat as early as this weekend. Just be prepared to pay. Oh and just so you know there are other show's out there besides Hamilton. In fact between now and the end of April there are seven new musicals set to open.

Allegiance- Opens November 8
American Psycho- Previews begin on March 24
On Your Feet- Opens November 5
School of Rock- Previews begin on November 9
Shuffle Along- Previews begin on March 14
Tuck Everlasting- Previews begin on March 31
Waitress- Previews begin on March 25

Sounds like a nice variety don't you think? Oh and just in case you are wondering we sell tickets for all of those shows. Not only that but we sell most of those shows at "Insider Rates". Who doesn't love a bargain? I know I do. Until next time theatre fans.
