Now Is The Best Time To Get Tickets To See A Little Night Music On Broadway

Still haven't seen the new Broadway revival of A Little Night Music yet? Well to be honest I guess it technically isn't new anymore as it opened almost eight months ago. Now while the show turned out to be a success at the box office and was nominated for Best Musical Revival it feels like a new production due to it's two new leading ladies in the form of Tony winners Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch.

Except for Company and the most recent revival of Sunday In The Park With George I am not a big Sondheim fan. Plus the show just looked boring to me. What do I know? Most of my favorite shows of the last few years closed after just a few months. Anyway the show is scheduled to reopen tomorrow night following a month long hiatus to allow the cast to rehearse with it's two new stars.

Tickets are on sale thru January 2011 so I assume that means that Ms. Peters and Ms. Stritch have agreed to stay in the show for awhile. We shall see. By the way for those of you who still haven't seen the show you have come to the right place. From now thru September 5, 2010 you can get tickets to see this award winning production at prices that can't be beat. Be advised that this "Insider Deal" is subject to availability and can be pulled at anytime. Get your tickets to see A Little Night Music on Broadway. It may not be my cup of tea but it might just be yours. Until next time theatre fans.

A Little Night Music To Close On June 20

Hot on the heels of the announcement that Tony Award winner God of Carnage will close on June 6 comes the news that multiple Tony nominee A Little Night Music will play it's final performance at the Walter Kerr Theatre on June 20, 2010. The show which was recently extended thru the end of August will now close following the exits of it's two stars Angela Lansbury and Catherine Zeta-Jones. When it closes it will have played a total of 20 previews and 217 performances. The rumor is that the show is closing due to the producers of the show not being able to secure suitable replacements for it's two leading ladies. Either way the show was a big seller during it's run and while it is not likely to win the Tony Award for Best Musical next month it was a top notch production of a show that we are not likely to see again on Broadway for a very long time. Until next time theatre fans.

That's right folks. One of this season's hottest shows is now available. Not only that but at prices that are lower then it's been since it's opened last year. Now I know what you're thinking. How is that possible? Isn't A Little Night Music one of the most popular shows on Broadway? Well yes it is. The main reason good seats are available is because quite frankly everybody has seen the show so there are plenty of seats left.

Just kidding. Catherine Zeta-Jones is on vacation. Now look I love her as much as the next person but Angela Lansbury is still in the show. For this week only you can get good seats for prices that are below face value. Be advised this deal is only good thru February 21. Now for those of you who are going to be here at the end of March this deal will be happening again during Ms. Zeta-Jones next hiatus.Those dates are March 30-April4.

Finian's Rainbow To Close

Earlier this week it was announced that Ragtime was closing and now comes news that Finian's Rainbow will play it's final performance on January 17. This marks the third revival along with Bye Bye Birdie to close after a short run. When you consider the fact that Finian's got rave reviews across the board it is a little disheartening to say the least. When it closes it will leave A Little Night Music as the lone revival from this season still playing. However there is good news ahead. A new revival of Promises,Promises starring Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth is scheduled to open this Spring at the Broadway Theatre. As much as I am looking forward to seeing it I worry it may get swallowed up in a house as big as the Broadway. We will soon find out. Until next time theatre fans.

Broadway And Musical Revivals

That's right theatre fans. Right now there are eight musical revivals currently running on the Great White Way with two more set to open in the Spring. They are Bye Bye Birdie,Chicago,Finian's Rainbow,Hair,A Little Night Music,Ragtime,South Pacific,West Side Story, Promises, Promises, and La Cage aux Folles. Quite a lineup.Let's take a look at each one.

Chicago-Broadway's longest running revival first premiered back in 1975. Now while the show was very well received it was overshadowed by A Chorus Line and ran less then two years. It wasn't until twenty-one years later when it was brought back to life by the Encores! theatre series and went on to become of the most acclaimed shows in years. It was quickly moved to Broadway and the rest is history. Three theatres and thirteen years later it is still going strong. Not bad for a show with no sets or special effects.

Bye Bye Birdie-This new productions marks the first Broadway revival since the original 1960 production. The show which did not receive the greatest reviews is actually selling very well and has recently extended it's run into April 2010. I guess the show is more popular than anyone thought. The truth is there are very few shows on Broadway that the whole family can enjoy. This happens to be one of them.

Finian's Rainbow-Who would have thought that a sixty-two year old show would be one of this season's most well received productions? The show which premiered on Broadway in 1947 was like Chicago revived at Encores! to critical acclaim earlier this year. How long the show lasts is anyone guess. I personally did not see it. It seemed a little hokey for my tastes. It seems to have an audience so time will tell how long it will be around.

Hair-One of my favorite shows from last season was an unexpected surprise for me. Yes I knew a couple of the songs going in but never did I expect to be as moved as I was by this production. The show which won the Tony Award for Best Musical revival is a must see and can be enjoyed by people of all generations.

A Little Night Music-The first Broadway revival of one of Stephen Sondheims most loved musicals stars five time Tony Award winner Angela Lansbury and Academy Award winner Catherine Zeta-Jones in her Broadway debut. Now except for Company and Sunday in the Park with George I usually find his other work to be boring. But who cares what I think. Ticket sales are going thru the roof for the show since it was first announced. The big question is what will the critics think. We will soon find out.

Ragtime-Now I'll admit I didn't care for Ragtime the first time it was here back in 1998. Now while I loved most of the songs I just found it to be long and boring. Brian Stokes Mitchell and Audra McDonald being out that night probably didn't help. The reviews for this new production were quite good and as of now it seems to be selling very well. Most people think that this will be the show to beat come Tony time.

South Pacific-Now almost two years into it's run South Pacific is still going strong. I loved the show and am so happy that it is back on Broadway where it belongs once again. The show which like most on this list won the Tony Award for Best Revival continues to pack them in eight times a week at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre. It is a must see.

West Side Story-The movie has been a personal favorite of mine for over twenty years. When it was first announced that the show was coming back to Broadway after a near thirty year hiatus I was very excited. Finally I was going to get the chance to see a live production of one of my favorite shows. I have to say I was slightly disappointed by the production. Now don't get me wrong. The energy on that stage was electric and every performer was giving their all. I just felt it could have been a lot better. I blame the director on that one. Not the cast.

Promises, Promises-To be honest I don't really know a lot about the show except what I have read and that it is based on the Oscar winning movie The Apartment. I do like some of the songs and I hope the show is as good as people have said it is. This new revival stars Emmy Award winners Sean Hayes(Will and Grace)and Kristen Chenoweth(Pushing Daises. I can't wait to see it. I just worry that the Broadway Theatre is too big for this little show. I hope I am wrong.

La Cage aux Folles-Last but not least is La Cage. The show which won the 1984 Tony Award for Best Musical was last seen on Broadway in 2005. Although that production won the Tony for Best Revival it did not have a long run and was a financial flop. This production is based on the award winning London production which is still playing. Douglas Hodge who won an Olivier Award for his performance as Albin will make his Broadway debut. It was just announced that Emmy Award winner Kelsey Grammer has joined the cast as George. I thought the last revival was fine. Not sure what to expect with this one but I am willing to give it a chance.

So there you are. Ten revivals on Broadway. I can't recall there ever being that many on Broadway at the same time. Which one will you see?

A Little Night Music Now In Previews

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past month then you know that Catherine Zeta-Jones is making her Broadway debut in Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music. Oh and don't forget five-time Tony Award winner Angela Lansbury as well. The show which first premiered on Broadway in 1973 began previews last night at the Walter Kerr Theatre on Broadway. I'll admit that I'm not the biggest Sondheim fan in the world although Company does rank up there as one of my favorite musicals of all time. Not too mention last years production of Sunday In The Park With George which completely blew me away. Maybe I'm a Sondheim fan after all.

This new revival is based on the critically acclaimed production which opened this past March at the Garrick Theatre in London. Let's be honest. Would the show be selling as well as it is without it's two main stars? Who knows? Sondheim shows while critically acclaimed have never been big money makers. The show is going to have to receive some pretty outstanding reviews to survive after it's two stars leave. We shall see. Until next time theatre fans.
