A Christmas Carol [18743] Product Media

This version of <a href="/show/a-christmas-carol">A Christmas Carol</a>&nbsp;at the <a href="/theatres/lyceum-theatre">Lyceum Theatre</a> on Broadway, adapted by Jack Thorne and directed by Matthew Warchus, is a nifty bit of business.&nbsp;An unusual take on Charles&nbsp;Dickens' story, it is Redemption à&nbsp;la Mode.&nbsp;And it works.The story of Scrooge is known so well that the name itself means the meanest of the mean. Closed off from love, alone and daring anyone to approach with an outstretched appendage.&nbsp;This particular Ebenezer Scrooge (<a href="/actor-profile/campbell-scott">Campbell Scott</a>), in addition to being mean, is also a little mad.&nbsp;A little crazy. A little paranoid. Something along the lines of a rabid dog.&nbsp;A little ready for some serious salvation.&nbsp;Because this Scrooge is inches away from taking a permanent header off the cliff of life.Thorne and Warchus have kept the thread of the iconic story without sticking to the traditional trimmings.&nbsp;The three Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future are all women, dressed in homespun rag cloth.&nbsp;<a href="/actor-profile/andrea-martin">Andrea Martin</a> is a no-nonsense guide who prods and presses Ebenezer to pay attention to the past.&nbsp;<a href="/actor-profile/lachanze">LaChanze</a> is The Ghost of Christmas Present who swirls him through the open doorways and sad hovels of the present.&nbsp;And the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come&nbsp;turns out to be the biggest twist in this new adaptation, bringing&nbsp;the direst most desperate warnings to Scrooge, born out of a&nbsp;fierce love for him.This Ebenezer refuses their guidance, care and mercy.&nbsp;This Scrooge is more Andrew Jackson than a candidate for Father Christmas.&nbsp;This Scrooge will not go quietly into that good night.&nbsp;He&nbsp;will roar until the spirits are forced to pull out all the stops and smite him mightily.&nbsp;When this Scrooge rises from his ashes he is no milk toast reformed old man.&nbsp;He is raw as a newborn and his path will not be predicted.The production design could not be simpler: four door frames flanked by hundreds of lanterns on the floor, crawling up the walls and swinging wildly from the ceiling.&nbsp;Scrooge is leading such a sparse life that his pillow is a handkerchief and his riches are hidden beneath floorboards.&nbsp;He has one threadbare suit of clothing from beginning to end.With almost nothing up their sleeves this nimble cast unwraps a story of redemption as if it were a 19th century confection of supreme value.&nbsp;Which, of course it is. From the minute you enter the theatre this company welcomes you with the simplest of gifts: a story to tell and the joy of the telling.&nbsp;And the joy of the singing.&nbsp;Their Christmas caroling alone is worth the trip. Although I haven't considered myself a religious person for years now, the sound of those carols - in four-part harmony, thank you - pops the door to my innards open every time.Finally, there is the matter of Tiny Tim (played by&nbsp;Sebastian Ortiz at the performance I attended), who is the distillation of every spirit and human in this story,&nbsp;who moves with great effort and who speaks so quietly we nearly&nbsp;hold our breath in the listening. If you are able to withstand the warmth of this production, as any New Yorker would be expected to do, this little crumpet will be your undoing as he steals your heart like so much chump change.&nbsp;Beware.(Photo by Joan Marcus)<div class="block block-block contextual-links-region " id="block-block-9"><div class="block-inner clearfix"><div class="block-title"><h2>WHAT THE OTHER CRITICS SAID</h2></div></div></div>"Have any of the progressive presidential hopefuls still duking it out thought about working "A Christmas Carol" into their campaigns? If so, they would surely benefit from visiting the new, charmingly instructive adaptation of Charles Dickens's evergreen of Yuletide redemption, which opened Wednesday at the Lyceum Theater. As reconceived by the playwright Jack Thorne&nbsp;and the director Matthew Warchus, this sprightly version of Dickens's deathless portrait of a miser makes a pointed case for the personal benefits of redistributing wealth. God rest ye merry, fat cats: Shedding some of that cumbersome, excess cash is a surefire route to feeling good about yourself." Ben Brantley&nbsp;for <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/20/theater/a-christmas-carol-review.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a>"This&nbsp;A Christmas Carol&nbsp;has many lovely moments and atmosphere aplenty. What it lacks, just a little, is cheer." Adam Feldman&nbsp;for <a href="https://www.timeout.com/newyork/theater/a-christmas-carol-broadway-review" target="_blank">Time Out New York</a>"New Yorkers tend to be cynical by nature, and even during the holidays, it takes a lot to soften our tough hides. So, I have to commend the creative team behind this latest adaptation of&nbsp;A Christmas Carol,&nbsp;because as much as we've heard Dickens' classic tale through the years, it would take a very cold heart not to feel the spirit this time around." Roma Torre&nbsp;for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/theater-reviews/2019/11/21/theater-review---a-christmas-carol-" target="_blank">NY1</a>"Every year around the holidays, adaptations of Charles Dickens'&nbsp;A Christmas Carol&nbsp;surface like regurgitated eggnog at regional theaters across the country. But Jack Thorne's retelling breathes new life into the old chestnut, creating an enchanting spectacle that really is something special. Staged with an ideal balance of sentiment and showmanship by Matthew Warchus and first seen in 2017 at London's Old Vic, where he is artistic director, the immersive production is infused with period atmosphere and heart-stirring music, fostering an infectious spirit of good cheer that reaches giddy heights with the movable feast of the play's climax." David Rooney&nbsp;for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/a-christmas-carol-theater-review-1256271" target="_blank">Hollywood Reporter</a>"While the communal ending may be fun for some — and not far afield from Dickens' one-world view — the emphasis&nbsp; shifts from lessons learned to production gimmicks, including tumbling taters from the balcony and Brussels sprouts parachuted in for Scrooge's big feast. In this version, it's not about witnessing the redemption of a man and the retrieval of a lost soul. It's all about the side dishes."

SIX on Broadway [20737] Product Media

There is nothing I enjoy more than discovering a show and then going back to see it again (and again) with someone who has never seen it before. As someone who goes to the theatre for work, I view every night as a treasure hunt for the next theatrical crown jewel, and I love revisiting these gems time and again with friends and family.&nbsp;So when I saw a little show called <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/20737-six-musical-tickets">Six</a> for the first time in London's West End in 2019, I couldn't wait to evangelize about it and take everyone I know. When the show came to the U.S. for a North American tour before heading to Broadway, I took my brother and sister-in-law to the show at American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Mass.&nbsp;And when the show was preparing for its March 2020 Broadway bow, I took a good friend, dancing in the aisles at the last show I saw before the pandemic shutdown.&nbsp;Now, the production is the first new musical to return to Broadway since theatres closed, and in the intervening time, I've actually moved to London, where I was at the musical's first performance back in the West End in May 2021. So being back in New York for Broadway's reopening and seeing Six (for the sixth time, no less) feels like a seminal moment for the show.&nbsp;This time, I also took a good friend, who also had never seen the show or heard any of the music. Watching her experience pure musical theatre elation for a pop-packed 75 minutes was greater than any returning-to-theatre joy I could have imagined. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll dance. It's everything a theatre experience should be and more.&nbsp;So what is Six, you might ask, oh uninitiated one? The show is essentially a pop concert featuring the six wives of&nbsp;Henry VIII belting and riffing about all the "bullsh*t" they had to put up with from the king. Featuring vocal stylings in the vein of Nicki Minaj, Adele, Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, and more, the performers deliver a "histo-remix," in a concise and endlessly catchy concert-style show that is part singing competition, part history lesson.&nbsp;Now, you don't need me to tell you how popular the music is, as the U.K. cast recording has been streamed over 100 million times, and writers Toby Moss and Lucy Marlow (also the show's co-director with Jamie Armitage) have scored a deal to write pop music. Not bad for two students at Cambridge who came up with this show in school and premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe.&nbsp;The queendom has now gone global, and the Broadway production is bigger, bolder, and beltier than any Six I've seen yet. From new riffs to surprise costume reveals, every element has been leveled up for New York, leaving no stone unturned. Adrianna Hicks (Catherine of Aragon), Andrea Macasaet (Anne Boleyn), Abby Mueller (Jane Seymour), Brittney Mack (Anna of Cleves), Samantha Pauly (Katherine Howard), and Anna Uzele (Catherine Parr) form a tight ensemble, fulfilling all your girl group dreams and your next karaoke night.&nbsp;The show itself is a retro-mashup with Gabrielle Slade's bedazzled costumes featuring Reformation-inspired silhouettes; Carrie-Anne Ingrouille's choreography showcases Tudor-meets-pop moves; and Emma Bailey's scenery and Tim Deiling's lighting feels like what a royal ballroom might look like in a techno disco.&nbsp;Ultimately, the queens' own stories of overcoming struggles and the show's circuitous journey to Broadway are also beacons for the power of positivity, perseverance, and coming together in times of struggle. Just like these six "ex-wives," we've all had it rough for the past year and a half, and the queens are here to bring in a new regime. Long may they reign.&nbsp;Six&nbsp;is playing on Broadway at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/venues/lena-horne-theatre">Lena Horne Theatre</a>. &nbsp;

Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway - NYC - Product Media

In 2002 Baz Luhrmann, the idiosyncratic Australian film and theatre director, brought his stunning 1990 Opera Australia production of Puccini's La Bohème from Sydney Opera House to Broadway, a tale of a consumptive heroine and her bohemian friends living in rooftop Parisian digs. Now 17 years later, we're back in similar territory for this bedazzling stage transition of Luhrmann's 2001 film "Moulin Rouge!," which underlines just how much La Bohème inspired it -- an opera that also provided the source for Rent, which was set in 1990s New York.Broadway is now (over)populated by jukebox musicals -- current attractions include shows devoted to <a href="/show/aint-too-proud-the-life-and-times-of-the-temptations">The Temptations</a>, <a href="/show/beautiful-the-carole-king-musical">Carole King</a> and <a href="/show/the-cher-show">Cher</a>, with a transfer of <a href="/show/tina-the-tina-turner-musical">Tina -&nbsp;The Tina Turner Musical</a> from the West End due to arrive in October, plus new musicals based on albums by Alanis Morissette (<a href="/show/jagged-little-pill">Jagged Little Pill</a>)&nbsp; and David Byrne (<a href="/show/david-byrnes-american-utopia">American Utopia</a>) also planning Broadway engagements in October and November, respectively. But <a href="/show/moulin-rouge-the-musical">Moulin Rouge! The Musical</a> is in a league of originality and creativity all of its own; with a song stack of some 70 pop hits from the 40s to the present day, it is the ultimate jukebox show, encompassing Elton John, Sting and Katy Perry, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Bob Dylan and even Rodgers and Hammerstein, amongst numerous others.Of course, many of those songs are only heard in the briefest of snatches; in one duet between Satine, the courtesan nightclub performer and Christian, the visiting American writer who stumbles into her life and falls unexpectedly in love with her, there are quotations from some 25 separate songs.Part of the immense musical fun of the evening is spotting all these goodies, even if there's a bit of an accompanying frustration that comparatively few of them are heard in full. Musical supervisor and orchestrator Justin Levine does a heroic job of marshalling them all into a cohesive, playful whole, and book writer John Logan folds them brilliantly into the plot so that they all serve a narrative as well as presentational purpose.But if the show is both tireless and at times relentless in shoehorning so much material into it, director Alex Timbers, his choreographer Sonya Tayeh and his designers Derek McLane (sets), Catherine Zuber (costumes), Justin Townsend (lighting) and Peter Hylenski (sound) turn it into an eye-popping spectacle that is full of sensory overload.The transportation to another world occurs even before the show begins, as you enter the <a href="/theatres/al-hirschfeld-theatre">Al Hirschfeld Theatre</a>, beguilingly transformed into the spectacular nightclub of the title. The Moulin Rouge's famous external windmill turns stage right; a giant blue elephant (which contains Santine's rooftop dressing room) is stage left. Dancers perform languorous cage dance routines and prowl the stage long before the lights dim and the club's MC and owner Harold Zidler (the buoyant and brilliant <a href="/actor-profile/danny-burstein">Danny Burstein</a>) set the stage show off.But as with Kander and Ebb's 1966 Broadway musical Cabaret, the vividly-recreated floorshow is only a backdrop to a more personal story of a desperate, ill-fated love affair that unfolds in its anchoring shadows. Spectacle may always be to the fore in this production, but against all the vigour there's also rigour in the beautiful ache that <a href="/actor-profile/aaron-tveit">Aaron Tveit</a> and <a href="/actor-profile/karen-olivo">Karen Olivo</a> bring to Christian and Satine's relationship.In a crowded Broadway market place, Moulin Rouge is a show that has it all: it's not just 70 songs that are rolled into one show, but also a canvas of spectacle and emotion that isn't just a floorshow but left me floored with its sublime artistry.(Photo by Matthew Murphy)<div class="block block-block contextual-links-region " id="block-block-9"><div class="block-inner clearfix"><div class="block-title"><h2>WHAT THE OTHER CRITICS SAID</h2></div></div></div>"This one's for the&nbsp;hedonists. All you&nbsp;party people should know that the Al Hirschfeld Theater has been refurbished as an opulent pleasure palace, wherein decadence comes without hangovers.&nbsp;That's where the euphoric&nbsp;Moulin Rouge! The Musical&nbsp;opened on Thursday night in a shower of fireworks, confetti and glittering fragments of what feels like every pop hit ever written." Ben Brantley&nbsp;for <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/25/theater/moulin-rouge-review.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a>"Red alert! Red alert! If you're the kind of person who frets that jukebox musicals are taking over Broadway, prepare to tilt at the windmill that is the gorgeous, gaudy, spectacularly overstuffed&nbsp;Moulin Rouge! The Musical. Directed with opulent showmanship by Alex Timbers, this adaptation of Baz Luhrmann's 2001 movie may be costume jewelry, but its shine is dazzling." Adam Feldman for <a href="https://www.timeout.com/newyork/theater/moulin-rouge-broadway-review" target="_blank">Time Out New York</a>"Who needs ecstasy when we've got Moulin Rouge!? That's the effect of the fabulous new musical that opened Thursday night&nbsp;on Broadway: raucous sensory overload. From its sexy sword swallowers to the newly pumped-up pop songbook and from-the-loins dancing, the show's as subtle as Liberace's toy poodle: a glitter bomb on Broadway."

The giddy 2001 screen collision of soaring romance and dazzling artifice helped resuscitate the movie musical. Stage director Alex Timbers and the creative team on this delirious theatrical reinvention take those Luhrmann impulses and run with them, crafting a gaudy and gorgeous jukebox pastiche in which eye-popping spectacle, off-the-charts energy and almost non-stop musical mashups provide the plush padding for a featherweight plot."

Tales about true love transcending divergent social origins and personal destinies never go out of fashion."
