War Horse: a Hit on Broadway

Published by Chris Wan at 8:35 PM under Broadway Shows | Theater

Right now everyone is scrambling for War Horse Tickets. Why is this? Because War Horse is one of the best shows on Broadway!

The story revolves around a man named Albert and his horse Joey during World War I.  Joey is sold to a calvary unit during the war and shipped to France. The horse goes through extraordinary battles and events that land it on both sides of the war and then as the war ends, Joey is all alone.  At the same time, his faithful owner Albert is looking to get his beloved horse back.

The puppets that are used in this Broadway show (made by the world-renowned Handspring Puppet Company) are extremely realistic and a definite highlight of the show.  The show itself is a little bit less than three hours long and is great for anyone who is ten years old or older. Enough said, it's time to get War Horse Tickets to see the show in New York City or London

American Idiot Show's Osama Bin Laden's Affect on the American Youth

Published by Ohad Nezer at 9:03 AM under Broadway Shows | Shows

 

With the world abuzz over the assassination of  Osama Bin Laden, it is fitting to review a Broadway show that deals with the aftermath of 9/11.   The critically acclaimed Rock Opera “American Idiot” aims to shed some light on an entire generation of young people that were shaken by the events of 9/11.  The show tells the story of 3 young men: Will, Tunny, and Johnny, all looking for their place in life.    The three best friends experience love, disappointment, envy, rejection and camaraderie in their journeys, until they all meet in the show’s final, sublimating scene.   

The show feature a musical score comprised of the fantastic rock band Green Day’s complete album American Idiot.   The band noted that when writing the album they always had in mind that it may be a basis for a show, or a movie. The musical meets the albums lively tone with very energetic dance powerful acting and eye popping set design. 

The show that aired in 2010 has earned mixed reviews among critics who may have had a tough time handling the young, next generation vibe that the show emits.   Audiences love it tough – it has snagged two broadway.com audience awards for best leading actor and for favorite ensemble, and was nominated  3 tony awards for best musical, Best Scenic Design of a Musical, and for Best Lighting Design of a Musical.  It has also won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.

The show that was running at the St. James Theatre on Broadway is now off the stage in preparation for a tour starting next fall.  Broadway show tickets for American Idiot are not available at the moment,  but you can get tickets to see the show on tour here.

An exciting musical and theatrical show for all ages, Broadway Rain Tickets are a huge hit. The Beatles tribute band chronicles the legendary band's career through song, attire, film and hairstyles. Experiencing the music from the very beginning through the late sixties, is a visual and musical event that every Beatles fan, young and old, should see. 

 

Rain puts the audience smack in the middle of the Beatles musical sensation and career, through music as well as actual films and commercials played on the stage's backdrop. Fans will listen, watch, clap, sing and dance along with the tribute band.

 

Although the band will take the audience from the Ed Sullivan show through the long haired, psychedelic late sixties era, the show is kept clean and void of any drug or sexual innuendos. Kids will love the performance as they sing along with their parents. It is a fun nostalgic evening out on Broadway.

 

Throughout the show, there are close up camera shots of the Fab Four look-a likes projected on a large screen. The uncanny resemblances, the note for note music and the stage dress for each period in the Beatles musical career, brings each fan back to the good old days. Currently, this event can be seen at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York. Tickets to the Broadway Show, Rain is what everyone is scrambling to get.

Today!! Christie Brinkley's Debut in "Chicago"!

Published by Ohad Nezer at 11:13 AM under Broadway Shows

 

Former supermodel Christie Brinkley is making her first guest star performance debut today, in the hit musical Chicago.

Brinkley will play the lead role of Roxy Hart – the Vaudeville entertainer wannabe, who is charged with the murder of her loved one.  Brinkley will perform in the musical for 11 weeks starting today (Aprli 8th until June 19th).

Brinkley, now 57 has had some brief acting performances in her career, including two appearances in Chevy Chase’s National Lampoon Vacation Series.  This current gig however, is by far the most demanding as an actress, taking a lead role in a Broadway hit musical. 

Chicago is the 5th longest running musical in history, consecutively running since 1996, it has been played over 5900 times!  The role of Roxy Hart has been performed in the past by many superstars including such as Brooke Shields, Melanie Griffith and Michelle Williams. 

Originally scheduled to begin on April 4th, Brinkley debut was pushed to the 8th due to minor muscle injury.  “I can’t wait to go on stage, Roxy’s character is so energetic, it’s so much fun to play as her” said Brinkley.

You can find tickets to all the “Chicago” shows featuring Brinkley here.
