Finian’s Rainbow
The St. James Theatre will be home to this Fall’s Broadway revival of Finian’s Rainbow. Set in the mythical southern state of Missitucky, Finian’s Rainbow pits a charming Irish dreamer and his headstrong daughter against the host of complications that await them in their newly adopted land: a bigoted southern Senator, a credit crisis, a pesky leprechaun and, of course, a complicated love affair that gives birth to some of the most witty, charming and heartfelt songs ever written for the stage.
Here’s a little video preview of what you can expect in this widely anticipated revival:

Watch for previews of Finian’s Rainbow to begin on October 8th with opening night at the St. James Theatre on October 29th.
The Addams Family
Last May we told you about the upcoming Broadway production of The Addams Family starring Broadway veterans Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth. At that time, we couldn’t tell you exactly when the show would open, or where it would open. Today we’re happy to say that those details have now been firmed up.
Watch for The Addams Family to begin previews at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on March 4th with an April 8th opening to follow.
The Addams Family features a book by the Jersey Boys team of Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. Choreography is by Sergio Trujillo, known for his work in Next to Normal and Jersey Boys.
9 To 5 Closing
It’s a premature Broadway curtain call for 9 To 5: The Musical as the show prepares to go dark after its final performance at the Marquis Theatre on September 6th. Inspired by the 1980s film of the same name, 9 To 5 will have lasted only 24 previews and 148 performances when it closes its doors Labor Day weekend. The good news is that there’s still time to see the show! If you’d like to catch it with us before it’s gone, simply click here.
