New Musical Head Over Heels Now In Previews

That's right music fans. The 80's are back on the Great White Way. In fact, I haven't been this excited about a jukebox musical since Rock of Ages first took Broadway by storm nine years ago. Head Over Heels, which features the music of 80's pop icons The Go-Go's, began previews last night at the Hudson Theatre.

Now before you start thinking that this is going to be one of those bio-musicals like Jersey Boys or Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, it is not. This new musical, is inspired by Philip Sydney's sixteenth century play Arcadia. Not too be confused with Tom Stoppard's 1993 drama with the same name.

Anyway, this one, features a duke, a mysterious prophecy and two daughters. One of which is mobbed by suitors. The other daughter? Not so much. The show, which is scheduled to open on July 26, is directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), with choreography by Spencer Liff (Falsettos, Hedwig and the Angry Inch).

By the way, for those of you want tickets to see the show, you are in luck. We sell it. Plus if you call right now, you can get tickets to see the show at rates that can't be beat. Be advised that while this "Special Offer" is good thru September 30, it is for select seats, and as always subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Head Over Heels on Broadway at the Hudson Theatre. Until next time theatre fans.

Now for those of you that can't wait that long for your Michael Jackson fix, you can head on over to London, where Thriller- Live is now in it's sixth celebrated year. As of now, no theatre or any out of town tryouts have been announced. Stay tuned to this website for further updates.
