OMG! It's Goosebump Time On Broadway

Watch as supserstar Hugh Jackman makes his first apperance in the long-awaited revival of The Music Man at Broadway's legendary Winter Garden theater. All of the greats have played the Winter Garden and now, here's Jackman at the first night's preview and the audience literally goes wild. So many, many people (we're among them) have been holding tickets for this show for so long that this breathless moment couldn't come soon enough. So much pent-up energy and emotion is tied up with this. When a Great American Musical opens like this on a grand scale, you know Broadway Is Back! May it ever be so!

Broadway Goes Dark In Memory Of Sondheim

 

The bright lights of Broadway -- the Great White Way -- are rarely extinguished. 
But in a unique and poignant tribute, the League of Broadway Theaters ordered 
all theater lights to be dimmed last night foir one miniute in memory of The Master
 -- legendary Broadway composer/lyrist Stephen Sondheim who recently passed away.
This is an honor bestowed only on a few of Broadway's most accomplished artists. 
Watch as Broadway goes dark and the lights then come back on again. 
There's only one Broadway, folks. 
If you haven't been there you're missing a true American treasure that is beloved the world over.
