Special Awards
The Wolves – Outstanding Ensemble
“The superbly talented cast of Sarah DeLappe's debut play—Mia Barron, Brenna Coates, Jenna Dioguardi, Samia Finnerty, Midori Francis, Lizzy Jutila, Sarah Mezzanotte, Tedra Millan, Lauren Patten, and Susannah Perkins—jelled as one, proving that team spirit is just a alive on the stage as it is on the soccer field.”

Special Award to Phil LaDuca
“Proving that character comes from the ground up, the designer's innovative flexible dance shoe ensures that hoofers on any stage remain on point.”

Lila Neugebauer – Sam Norkin Award
“During a season that saw her helm the original works The Antipodes, Everybody, Miles For Mary, and The Wolves, and resurrect the works of esteemed playwrights Edward Albee, Maria Irene Fornes, and Adrienne Kennedy in Signature Plays, director Lila Neugebauer has shown that her dauntless insight into the human condition knows no bounds.”
The Drama Desk nominating committee determined that the Broadway productions of Dear Evan Hansen and Significant Other were ineligible this year, as they were considered in the 2015–2016 season for their Off-Broadway engagements. Indecent, Sweat and Oslo were considered for their Off-Broadway stagings despite also transferring to Broadway this season.
Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 was considered eligible for its design, staging, and new members of the company, but not for book and score as the committee determined them not sufficiently different from its earlier, already eligible Off-Broadway productions.
The Broadway revival of Sunday in the Park with George was not considered in accordance with the wishes of its producers.

New Musical Bandstand To Open Tonight On Broadway

BandstandAnother opening. Another show. That's right theatre fans. It's that time again. Time to welcome another show to the Great White Way. Not only that, but it's one of the few new musicals to open this season that is not based on a successful movie. Imagine that? Bandstand, which began previews at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on March 31, stars two-time Tony nominee Laura Osnes (Bonnie and Clyde, Cinderella), and Corey Cott (Newsies, Gigi).

Plus it is being directed and choreographed by two-time Tony winner Andy Blankenbuehler (Hamilton, In The Heights). So what exactly is the show all about? Well I'll tell you. Set in the "Big Band" era during World War II, Bandstand tells the story of struggling singer-songwriter Donny Novitski and his fellow army buddies. When a national radio station sponsors a contest to find the next big sensation, Donny and his buddies team up with singer and war widow hoping that a win will change all of their lives. Well I'm sold.

By the way for those of you who are looking to purchase tickets for the show, you are in luck. We sell it. In fact if you call right now you can get tickets to see Bandstand at some incredible rates. Be advised that while this "Special Offer" is good thru June 20, it is for select seats, and as always subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Bandstand on Broadway at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. Until next time theatre fans.

Carousel To Return To Broadway Next Season

Image result for carousel broadway logoNow let me just start off by saying that I am a huge Rodger's and Hammerstein fan. I have been ever since I saw The Sound of Music in the fifth grade. That was the movie version mind you. Not the stage production. In fact the first Rodger's and Hammerstein musical that I saw on stage was Carousel.

Now here we are thirty years later and I will finally get to see it again. Only this time it will be on Broadway as opposed to a hot gymnasium in Southern Illinois. The show, which first premiered on Broadway in 1945, is set to open on March 23, 2018. Starring in the leading roles of Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan, are Tony nominee Joshua Henry (Hamilton), and Tony winner Jessie Mueller (Waitress).

Joining them in this beloved musical is opera legend Renee Fleming as Nettie Fowler. Now that is what I call great casting. Directing the show is three-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien (Hairspray), with choreography by Justin Peck, who is currently the resident choreographer at the New York City Ballet. As of now no theatre or on sale date has been announced. Stay tuned to this blog for future updates. Until next time theatre fans.

What To See In London

Now I'll admit that I have never been to London. It's not that I don't want to go. I just haven't done it. Yet. It's kind of ironic when you think about all of the blogs that I have written on the London theatre scene over the years. Thankfully, I have gotten the chance to see a lot of the shows that got there start in London, before coming to Broadway. Now for those of you that are heading to London, you are in luck. We sell every show in London. Of course the big question is what to see while you are there? As we speak there are over sixty-five plays and musicals playing in London. Here are a few you might want to check out while you are there.

Lady Day At Emerson's Bar and Grill- Starring six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald as music legend Billie Holiday. The show, which will run from June 17 thru September 9, was scheduled to play last year. However due to Ms. McDonald's unexpected pregnancy, the show was postponed until this year. Trust me. This is one show that you do not want to miss.

Bat Out Of Hell- Can I tell you how excited I am about this show? If anything could make me head over to London this show would be it. Based on the multi-platinum selling album, Bat Out Of Hell features seventeen of Meat Loaf's greatest songs including I'd Do Anything For Love, Paradise By The Dashboard Light, You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth, Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad, and it's title song Bat Out Of Hell. As of now the show is only scheduled to play for short run. Here's hoping it extends.

Thriller-Live- Now in it's eighth celebrated year, Thriller-Live continues to excite audiences off all ages eight times a week at the Lyric Theatre. Not only does it feature all of Michael Jackson's solo hits, but songs from his days as part of the Jackson 5. Now if that doesn't make you want to see it than I don't know what will. Now I'm a huge Michael Jackson fan. So I'll admit that I was a little skeptical about the show. Then I saw a few clips from the London production. Let's just say that I was quite impressed. Hopefully you will too.

Now as I mentioned, those are just a few of the exciting plays and musicals playing in London. And don't forget, that we sell of all of them too. Just give one of the friendly ticket experts at Applause a call ,and we will do the rest. Also don't forget that Applause is open seven days a week. 365 days a year. That means we are always here to help with all of your ticket needs. Until next time theatre fans.

Baseball Season Is Finally Here

Image result for mets logoThat's right sports fans. Baseball is alive in the Big Apple. Now I'll admit, that I've always been more of a basketball fan. However, I have attended several New York Mets games over the years.

Now I don't know if I had anything to do with it, but every time I went to one of their games, they won. Coincidence? I think not. Now of course we all know that New York City has another baseball team as well. Ever hear of the twenty-seven time World Series Champs the New York Yankees?

Of course you have. Oh and did I mention that we sell tickets to each and every game for both the Mets and the Yankees? Well we do. That also includes away games too. Who knew? Listed below are both teams schedules for the rest of the season. Now let's play some baseball. Until next time sports fans.

Now Is The Best Time To Come To New York And See A Show

Broadway Ticket NewsHeading to the Big Apple in the next few months? Now of course you're going to see a show or two while you're here right? After all we are the theatre capitol of the world.The only question is what to see.

Here's a thought. Why not see all of them? Just kidding. I love the theatre, but even that would be too much for me. As we speak there are thirty-six shows playing on the Great White Way. From A Bronx Tale to Wicked, Broadway is home to some of the most exciting and innovative shows on the planet. That's what makes Broadway so great. There truly is something for everyone.

Not only that, but most of those shows have "Insider Prices", which means you can see some of your favorite shows at prices that can't be beat. Who doesn't love a bargain? I know I do. Also don't forget that Applause is open seven days a week. 365 days a year. That means we are always here to help with all your ticket needs. Until next time theatre fans.
