Nrthwnd Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 ...and while I was checking out something else (looking for the date of Original SPAMALOT opening...) at http://www.ibdb.com (great site for everything Broadway), I came across one of the musicals "coming to Broadway in 2024." I know it's a bit of a wait for it to open (Mar-April) next year, but knowing what "the score" consists of, has me Definitely Interested for it. And here's the website for the show. https://heartofrocknrollbway.com/ With the songs of Huey Lewis & The News! I also love this logo for the show. It would make a great pin! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Just wondering, but is anybody planning to see this? I was thinking of it, but we've already seen a tour of the show, so .....? ...and the "Prince of Egypt" London production also filmed (late 2022) and available to rent, currently. Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (who also wrote music & lyrics for "Wicked," "Pippin," "Godspell," to name a few). EDIT TO ADD (2024): They released a DVD of the production. So I bought it on Amazon. Easy! Edited April 2 by Nrthwnd DVD of production now available, thru Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I put her obit here, as it should be. Glynis Johns, the English actress who played the original Mrs. Banks in the film "Mary Poppins", and was the first actress to sing Stephen Sondheim's "Send In The Clowns" from the musical "A Little Night Music" ... has passed away at age 100. In "Mary Poppins", being a wife, a mother... and a suffragette, too! (1964) As Desiree Armfeldt in Sondheim's "A little Night Music". (1973) About to sing 'that song'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
