Heaven: The new Theresa Rebeck ( Seminar , Smash ) play  Dead Accounts revealed its complete cast an




New York: The 20th Broadway on Broadway wholesale airline tickets lax spain Concert is this Sunday at 11:30 am in Times Square. A right of passage for all Broadway fans (like your Mandy Patinkin phase), the event is free and set to feature musical performances from Bring It On , Newsies , Once , a sneak peek at Season 2 of Smash  and more.
Los Angeles: What I wouldn t give to be in the City of Angels this Sunday to see the 25th anniversary reading of Steel Magnolias . A benefit for the Juvenile Diabetes Research wholesale airline tickets lax spain Foundation, the cast includes Alexis Bledel, Frances Conroy, Elizabeth Perkins, Annie Potts and wait for it Jennifer Coolidge . Seriously, get me on a Virgin (flight, that is) to LAX stat cause Coolidge is divine.
Chicago: According to Playbill.com, my Tony-winning talent-crush Norbert Leo Butz is officially headlining the musical adaptation of Big Fish in the Windy City spring of 2013. The world premiere wholesale airline tickets lax spain based on the 2003 Ewan McGregor (speaking of crushes) fantasy will be directed and choreographed by  Susan Stroman , with music and lyrics by  Andrew Lippa  and a book by the original screenwriter John August.
Detroit Pittsburgh: Producers announced impending Broadway wholesale airline tickets lax spain runs for two new musicals. Motown: wholesale airline tickets lax spain The Musical , written by and based on the life of record label founder Berry Gordy, will jukebox its way into the Lunt-Fontanne on April 14, 2013. A few months later in August, that gritty film expose of steelworkers with ballet dreams Flashdance  is hauling its welding tools and leg warmers onto the Great White Way. This follows a separate tour that will begin in its setting, Pittsburgh, January 2013. What a feeling, indeed
Sydney: Speaking of hopping a Virgin, the 2013 season announcement wholesale airline tickets lax spain for the Sydney Theater Company contains two flight-worthy productions. First up, an adaptation of Kate Grenville s beautiful novel The Secret River  by playwright Andrew Bovell (of Lincoln Center s acclaimed When the Rain Stops Falling ). And, building on the exquisite Uncle Vanya  that came through New York a few weeks back, Cate Blanchett will be starring in Jean Genet s The Maids opposite French icon Isabelle Huppert . Be still my film goddess-loving heart.
London-ish: The British smash  War Horse  posted a closing notice for its stateside run at Lincoln Center following a summer dip in ticket sales. You ve got plenty of time to cry yourself silly, though; the final performance wholesale airline tickets lax spain is scheduled for January 6, 2013
Heaven: The new Theresa Rebeck ( Seminar , Smash ) play  Dead Accounts revealed its complete cast and I am on cloud nine. Seriously, this just shot to the top of my must see list for fall. Joining the previously announced Norbert Leo Butz (him again) and Katie Holmes (work that divorce) will be the deliriously good Jayne Houdyshell ( Follies , Well ), the handsome and charming Josh Hamilton (The Coast of Utopia ) and, I m giddy here, the film scene stealer Judy Greer ( The Descendants ).
Finally, if you d like to make sure new and original music theater finds its way to the stage, here s a simple and inexpensive wholesale airline tickets lax spain way to play your part. This year s NAMT Festival of New Musicals is raising money to support demo recordings for the eight new shows being presented (full disclosure: I co-wrote one of them ). There s only a day left to contribute at Rocket Hub but as little as $5 will help artists focus on the writing and allow fresh songs to be heard.
