They took their X Factor path one step at a time, from auditions to boot camp to the judges’ houses right up to the live show knock-out rounds and eventually the final. It became similarly clear to everyone around JLS that they weren’t in this for the short haul

When they first announced two years ago that South Pacific was coming back to Broadway I was so excited. It is one of my favorite Rodger and Hammerstein shows and I will always have fond memories of doing the show in high school and Community Theatre(I played Stewpot and understudied Emile De Becque in case you care.)Anyway back to the Broadway production of South Pacific. The new revival marks the first time it is back on Broadway since the original 1949 production

Applause has learned that the script and storyline for David Mamet’s new Broadway play “Race” , which is shrouded in as much secrecy as the Vatican is when the cardinals gather to choose a new Pope has been leaked to the press! Potential backers aren’t permitted to read the script — they’re simply expected to throw their money at “the new Mamet” because it is, well, “the new Mamet.” Designers working on “Race” have been told not to let the script out of their sight. And the cast members — Richard Thomas, James Spader , Kerry Washington — have been instructed not to disclose any plot details in interviews. “I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say outside of it being a brand-new play from David Mamet,” Washington said recently

With a round of praise from the toughest of Broadway critics and a show that I knew would become a mega hit is easily one of my all time favorite musicals! The new revival of South Pacific is so enchanted and beautifully staged by director Bartlett Sher and the full-scale production at Lincoln Center Theatre has earned every accolade they were given, winner of seven 2008 Tony Awards . While in retrospect, given the considerable praise and excitement about this revival of Pacific, it seems like this revival was a sure thing, or not. Of course, nothing could be further than the truth, and the fact that Lincoln Center was ready to again roll the dice in a large way, speaks to its ability to accomplish and risk things that commercial producers avoid

I just read an article recently which interviewed Stephanie D’Abruzzo , the singing actress who was Tony-nominated for creating the roles of Kate Monster/Lucy the Slut in Avenue Q about the possibility of returning to close the show with the original cast which would have been wonderful.
