5 New Broadway Shows Begining Previews Next Week!
LEAP OF FAITH
St. James Theatre
previews begin 3 Apr 2012
Get ready to fall under the spell of Jonas Nightingale. With his troupe of singers, he’s journeyed far and wide, rattling the rafters, conning the crowds and trading miracles for money. And tonight’s a special night: He’s sharing the story of his very own redemption. Don’t miss his roof-raising tale about the time he came face to face with a strong-willed woman and a spirited boy who put his grift–and his own faith–to the test. Starring Raúl Esparza.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Broadhurst Theatre
previews begin 3 Apr 2012
Streetcar tells the tragic story of fragile former schoolteacher Blanche, who leaves the family plantation house and moves to New Orleans to live with her sister, Stella, and Stella’s animalistic husband, Stanley. She quickly gets a gritty life lesson in the seamy, steamy underbelly of 1940s life in the French Quarter. Starring: Blair Underwood & Daphne Rubin-Vega.
THE COLUMNIST
Samuel J. Friedman Theatre
previews begin 4 Apr 2012
The Columnist is set in mid-century America, when columnists are kings and Joseph Alsop wears the crown. Joe is beloved, feared and courted in equal measure by the Washington political world at whose center he sits. But as the 1960s dawn and America undergoes dizzying change, the intense political drama Joe is embroiled in becomes deeply personal as well. Starring: John Lithgow.
THE LYONS
Cort Theatre
previews begin 5 Apr 2012
Ben Lyons is dying. When his wife, Rita, and grown children gather to say goodbye, they learn that, despite being a family, each of them is utterly isolated. Afraid of closeness and afraid of solitude, Ben's death may be a catalyst that propels them into foreign territory—human connection. Starring: Linda Lavin.
ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS
Music Box Theatre
previews begin 6 Apr 2012
Sex, food and money are high on the agenda in this English version of a classic Italian comedy. Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small-time East End hood, but Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Francis takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be reunited with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart.
