Wicked Broadway Musical- A rise to fame
The innovative concept managed to persuade Gregory Maguire and he released the rights for stage. During the course of developing the Wicked Play, Stephen Schwartz came up with authentic ideas for expanding Gregory’s conception. In the interim, Stephen also thought-out on how to make multiple story lines work on stage.
Eventually a team was formed with Marc Platt as the lead producer, Joe Mantello as the director and Winnie Holzman- writer of Wicked Book. The primary effort was to spin out an original stage piece. Wicked the Musical’s script and score was developed, scrutinized and revised at regular intervals.
San Francisco witnessed the dawn of the Pre-Broadway trial. The first preview of Wicked Show made the audience cry, laugh and cheer. Wicked proved out to be a marvel of all times and instantly achieved a hit status. It became a grapevine among the thrilled audiences and critics.

The original Broadway production was an unprecedented box office and critical hit, receiving 12 Tony Award nominations and winning nine of them, in addition to the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Synopsis of A Chorus Line
In an empty theater, on a bare stage, casting for a new Broadway musical is almost complete. For 17 dancers, this audition is the one opportunity to do what they have always dreamed of. Not to be the star, but to get the job, to have the chance to dance and come through.
As the show progresses, the audience get to know all about the characters - their hopes, dreams, fears, past and present. Many abrupt twists and turns make A Chorus Line a musical full of surprises. When the show within A Chorus Line ultimately is staged, the hodgepodge rehearsal clothes of the 19 characters have been replaced by identical spangled gold costumes. As each dancer joins the group, it is suddenly difficult to distinguish one from the other. Ironically, each character who was an individual to the audience is now an anonymous member of an ensemble.
This is the story of A Chorus Line in a nut-shell, a story of young and enthusiastic dancers who want to prove their worth to the world and to themselves.

Her behavior was merely a reaction against a charlatan wizard’s corrupt government.
At the core of ‘Wicked’ lies a truly heartfelt story of friendship and love. The tale of the improbable friendship of Elphaba and Glinda, their conflicts and their eventual falling out unfolds with humor, great music and an unconventional twist on an American standard.
With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, ‘Wicked’ has won 15 major awards including laurels for the Best Musical. In addition to an incredible musical score, the play has smartly crafted sets which are breathtakingly beautiful.
Since its first official opening on October 30th, 2003 at the George Gershwin Theater, ‘Wicked‘ has been running to packed houses. For all those who have not yet watched ‘The Wizard of Oz’, but plan to, ‘Wicked’ is a must see.

There are hit musicals, and then there are evergreen musicals which hold their position as one of the top musicals almost forever. One such musical is Monty Python Spamalot. From the Knights Who Say “Ni” to blood thirsty rabbits with big pointy teeth, Monty Python’s Flying Circus established a new standard for television absurdity in the 1960s and ’70s. The troupe’s film ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ inspired an undying devotion - fans can quote it word-for-word.
Monty Python Spamalot is a comic musical ‘lovingly ripped off’ from the 1975 film. It is a highly irreverent parody of the Arthurian Legend but differs from the movie in some ways giving it a more Broadway feel.
Divided into 2 Acts, Monty Python Spamalot traces the journey of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table as they try and protect the Holy Grail. The musical officially opened on March 17, 2005 at New York’s Shubert Theater. The production has long been both a financial and critical success. Broadway musical fans appreciate its visual and auditory references to other musicals and musical theater in general.
Reactions by Monty Python members
Monty Python Spamalot has had mixed reactions from former Monty Python members. Terry Gilliam describes it as “Python-like” and John Cleese, who is the recorded voice of God in the musical also has liked it. Michael Palin, although, feels that it doesn’t hold up to Python’s style.
Awards
The original Broadway production of the musical received 14 Tony Award nominations, more than any other show in the 2004-05 season. It won three of them:

Grease took the world by storm when it first hit the silver screen and it gained a cult following which includes fans from all generations and everywhere. Today, the stage musical version of Grease is having the same effect. More and more people are getting hitched and loving every moment of this hit theater production, aptly entitled Grease, the musical.
Grease, the musical, is a brain-child of Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. The musical takes its name from the 1950s American working-class youth subculture known as the ‘greasers’. Grease, set in 1959 in fictional Rydell High in Chicago, tackles sensitive social issues such as gang violence and class consciousness/class conflict. The musical score celebrates ’50s rock and roll and other contemporary styles.
Grease became the longest-running Broadway musical in history, until it was beaten by A Chorus Line, and went on to become a West End hit, a popular 1994 Broadway revival and a staple of regional theater, community theater and high school drama groups.
Synopsis
Divided into 2 Acts, the musical focuses on the romance between high schoolers Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski. It’s 1959 and a new school year has begun. The ‘greasers’ are comprised of the Burger Palace Boys and the Pink Ladies. A new girl, Sandy Dumbrowski, has just entered Ryndell High, and she and the leader of the Burger Palace Boys, Danny Zuko, had a brief romance the summer before, but the summer ended for them with unresolved feelings. As she bumps into Danny at school, he brushes her off, leaving her broken hearted. Thus begins the story the Grease, which builds up with various twists and turns and ends with a revived love affair and everyone happy.
The musical features 26 songs.

When you look around and count the top stand-up comedians, Jeff Dunham’s name is sure to be at the top of the list. Mixing the difficult art of ventriloquism with an even more difficult one of stand-up comedy, Dunham has been making audiences laugh uncontrollably for a very long time now. The master is bringing his expertise back on stage and fans just have to be there. Don’t worry, all your favorite friends (Peanut, Jose Jalapeno on a Stick, Walter ‘n all) will be there as well!
Jeff is a graduate from Baylor University and has performed on numerous comedy shows, including Comedy Central Presents in 2003. His usual puppets include a woozle named Peanut, a bitter old man named Walter, Jose Jalapeno, a talking jalapeno pepper on a stick, Achmed the Dead Terrorist and an unusual superhero named Melvin.
His first DVD, Jeff Dunham: Arguing With Myself, was released in April 2006. In this stand-up offering, Jeff opens his show playing straight-man to his usual crew and includes two other characters: Sweet Daddy D and Bubba J, in place of Achmed and Melvin. His comedy special “Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity” was available at Redbox stands on 4 September, 2007, and was released to buy on DVD on 18 September, 2007.
Both Arguing With Myself and Spark of Insanity are available to view instantly on Netflix and he had a third Comedy Central Special being taped in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on June 7, 2008, which will be released during the holiday season.
Dunham’s Puppets
a Woozle with a small tuft of green hair on his head and only one shoe. Peanut was made in Salem, Virginia. Unlike most of Jeff Dunham’s puppets, Peanut’s eyes and eyebrows are immobile. This allows for a greater range of motion for his head. He is the most active puppet.
Walter
a retired and grumpy old man with arms always crossed in discontent. Married for 48 years (as of 2008), he has a brash, negative, and often sarcastic view on today’s world. He is a Vietnam War veteran and a former welder and “doesn’t give a damn” about anyone, especially his own wife and certain audience members.
Jose is a jalapeno pepper with a Mexican personality, a sombrero and a mustache, whose running joke is adding “… on a stick” to the end of most of his sentences. José’s movement is restricted to one single motion of the mouth. Penut and Jose are continually arguing.
loves beer and NASCAR. The “J.” is short for his last name: Junior. Bubba is married, and is assumed to have at least one child.
an African American who is referenced as Jeff’s new agent. He hates NASCAR and loves women. Sweet Daddy also likes to remind to Jeff that Black is better than White.
a wisecracking skeleton of a suicide bomber, with a beard and a white turban.
has only two real powers, flight and X-ray vision, although he can’t see through silicone, and can only fly as far as Jeff can throw him. He claims he would be more of a superhero if it weren’t for his large nose and small stature.

Legally Blonde has been successfully playing in theaters everywhere and has been a hit ever since it first came to the spotlight. Legally Blonde, the musical, based on Amanda Brown’s novel and the 2001 film of same name, has been given music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin.
Legally Blonde had its pre-Broadway tryout at the Golden Gate Theater in San Francisco beginning in previews on January 23, 2007 and playing its final performance in San Fransisco on February 24, 2007. After some changes to the score and minor adjustments to the book, the show opened for previews on April 3, 2007. The Broadway production, directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, opened on April 29, 2007 at the Palace Theater to mostly positive reviews.
The musical, divided into 2 Acts, manages to capture the essence of the critically acclaimed movie effectively, accentuated by the situational songs. Fans of the original movie can probably already predict which moments become songs — and if they bet on the bend and snap, they gambled right - there’s actually a song called ‘Bend and Snap’. All characters get their very own songs, yes even Paulette (Elle’s beautician friend).
As of now, MTV is searching for a new Elle Woods in a reality show entitled ‘Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods’ to replace Laura Bell Bundy in the Musical. The show debuted on June 2.
Synopsis
When the musical opens, the screaming, ultra-glamorous girls of sorority Delta Nu are celebrating the imminent engagement of Warner Huntington the Third, to their blonde sorority president, Elle Woods. It is only after Elle comes back from her dinner date with Warner that they all realize that she has been dumped because she isn’t ’serious’ enough to be the wife of someone who might be a Senator some day. Elle decides to graduate from Harvard Law School in order to prove to Warner and others that she can be serious. To everyone’s surprise, she gets into Harvard and even manages to stick to school despite being declared a misfit (and coming face-to-face with Warner’s mean fiancée – Vivian).
All tables are turned when Elle, using her wit (and vast knowledge of skin and hair care) manages to win a murder case single handedly and save fitness mogul Brooke Wyndham. Somewhere along the way Elle realizes that Warner is selfish and undeserving of love. She dumps him and goes on to live a life full of success and love (she accepts her long time friend Emmett’s proposal).

Gypsy has been one of Broadway’s most popular musicals. A heart warming tale, it is one of the very few theater productions that has been able to pull crowds every time it plays. Gypsy is a 1959 musical with music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Arthur Laurents. It is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous striptease artist and focuses on her mother, Mama Rose. Gypsy is frequently considered one of the crowning achievements of the mid-20th century’s conventional musical theater art form, often called the ‘book musical’.
Gypsy has been referred to as the greatest American musical by numerous critics and writers. The original Broadway production opened on May 21, 1959, at The Broadway Theatre, moved to the Imperial Theatre and ran for 702 performances after 2 previews. Gypsy saw its most recent revival in 2007 at the Encores! City Center, New York. It has been revived on Broadway as of March 2008.
Synopsis
Set during the Great Depression, Gypsy is about a dominating stage mother, Rose, who travels the country with her two daughters, June and Louise and their manager, Herbie. They play the vaudeville circuit around the United States. While June and Louise wish their mother would settle down and marry Herbie, Rose continues to pursue dreams of stardom for her girls. When June deserts the act, Rose turns her attention to the shy Louise, whom she hopes to fashion into a star. When the act is booked into a burlesque house by mistake, Louise is forced into the spotlight and Gypsy Rose Lee is born.
In the months that follow, Louise becomes secure, always following her mother’s advices. Ultimately, she becomes a major burlesque star and does not need her mother any longer. Herbie and June are both gone, and Rose, sad and feeling useless, fantasizes about her own lit up runway and cheering audience, something that will never happen. Reconciliation between the family marks the end of Gypsy.

They are feared by all Baltimore residents. One day after school, after getting an intense polio vaccine, Cry-Baby falls in love with Allison Vernon-Williams, a pretty but simple/Square girl, equally in love with him. Allison’s grandmother and boyfriend Baldwin are disgusted by this and try to keep them away.
How Wade and Allison manage to bring the Drapes and Squares together forms the plot of Cry-Baby.

According to Penn and Teller’s home page, they call themselves “a couple of eccentric guys who have learned how to do a few cool things”. The dynamic duo first joined hands in 1975 and have since developed into show business’s leading acts. Their shows are one of the most demanded and watched performances in the theater industry, although Penn and Teller have also been making successful appearances on television.
Since their first gig together, the artists have combined Teller’s silent, occasionally creepy, magic with Penn’s clown college education and juggling expertise, the two have created an entertainment success story that went from the streets to small clubs to national theater tours, and now to a current, multi-year engagement at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Penn and Teller are Las Vegas headliners whose act is an amalgam of illusion and comedy. Penn Jillette is a raconteur and Teller generally uses mime while performing, although his voice can occasionally be heard throughout their performance. They specialize in gory tricks, exposing quacks and frauds, performing clever pranks and have become associated with Las Vegas, atheism, scientific skepticism and libertarianism.

After ‘Frankenstein’ was published, Mary Shelley was declared the undisputed queen of the Gothic writing world. It was uncommon for women to write in those days, and Gothic was a genre ruled by men. When ‘Frankenstein’ came along, it changed the whole meaning of Gothic as it mixed together horror, mystery and Gothic.
Mary Shelley’s scary tale has now been given a funny twist and the result is http://www.ticketfinder.com/young_frankenstein_tickets.html, a musical bringing together the genres of Gothic, horror, mystery and comedy.
http://www.ticketfinder.com/young_frankenstein_tickets.html is a musical with music, lyrics and book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan. It is based on the 1974 comedy film of the same name written by Brooks and Gene Wilder and directed by Brooks, who has described it as his best film. It is a parody of the horror film genre, especially the 1931 Universal Pictures adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and its 1939 sequel, Son of Frankenstein.
After tryouts in Seattle, Washington and four weeks of previews, Young Frankenstein opened on Broadway on November 8, 2007 to mostly positive reviews.
Synopsis
Young Frankenstein is the re-imagining of the Mary Shelley’s classic from the comic genius of Mel Brooks. When Frederick Frankenstein, an esteemed New York brain surgeon and professor, inherits a castle and laboratory in Transylvania from his grandfather, deranged genius Victor van Frankenstein, he faces a dilemma -should he continue to run from his family’s tortured past or should he stay in Transylvania to carry on his grandfather’s mad experiments reanimating the dead and, in the process, fall in love with his sexy lab assistant, Inga? A Series of exciting and comic events follow as the story is told in the typical Brooks fashion.
Young Frankenstein’s plot is largely carried over from the movie, but some scenes are expanded to musical numbers, and many gags have been added or updated. Some scenes such as the encounter with the little girl have been left out, and the ending is quite different.

The subject of spelling bees has become popular in written fiction, particularly since the release of the amazingly popular documentary film Spellbound in the year 2002, and now it is the theme of one of the most popular musicals the world has witnessed recently - The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The show features adult actors playing junior high school students participating in a spelling contest. While the subject matter seems a bit strange for a Broadway show, you will be totally surprised by how well they combine the musical elements with the thrill of the competition!
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee a one act musical comedy with music and lyrics by William Finn and a book by Rachel Sheinkin. The show centers around a fictional spelling bee set in the Putnam Valley Middle School. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally-quirky grown-ups. By the end of the musical, the spellers learn that winning is not everything.
An unusual aspect of the show is that three or four real audience members are invited on stage to compete in the spelling bee alongside the six young characters. During the 2005 Tony Awards, former Presidential candidate Al Sharpton competed.
Based upon C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E, an original play created by Rebecca Feldman, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was work-shopped and developed at the Barrington Stage Company in the Massachusetts Berkshires in February 2004 and then given a fuller production in July 2004. The musical moved Off-Broadway to the Second Stage Theatre on January 11, 2005, where it enjoyed critical and box-office success.
