On March 16, 2020, Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley launched “Stars In The House” in response to what they knew would be an immediate need for funds in light of the Broadway shutdown.
Now, one year and over 375 episodes later, “Stars In The House” has raised over $715,000 for The Actors Fund, and an additional $200,000 for other charity organizations who have needed support throughout the pandemic.
“We can’t believe it has been a year! We continue to be overwhelmed by the generosity of our viewers, who send in donations from all over the world,” said Rudetsky and Wesley. “We thought that after the first few weeks, contributions would dwindle and the show would be more about bringing some joy and positivity during these dark times. But the fact that we have been able to do both – deliver fun and financial support – is beyond our wildest dreams. We are so grateful to our team behind the scenes,...

Head Over Heels, the Broadway musical featuring songs from The Go-Go’s including the title tune, “We Got The Beat” and “Our Lips Are Sealed” will play its final performance Sunday, Jan. 6, 2019, producers announced today.
The musical, which opened at the Hudson Theatre on July 26, will have played 188 regular performances and 37 previews by the time it closes next month. The production, greeted by mixed reviews, never caught fire at the box office, and has been struggling in recent weeks with grosses hovering around 20% of a
$883,552 box office potential. Even during weeks when 60% of seats were filled, modest average ticket prices of $61 kept box office far from reaching potential.
“Along with my partners, creative team and cast, it was our desire to create a piece of live theatre that celebrates love of all kinds and portrays a world of beauty in which joy and acceptance reign above all else,” said lead producer Christine Russell.

For better or worse, Broadway’s Head Over Heels is stuck with being known as “the Go-Go’s musical” – better because of the good will floating on stage with all those lighter-than-air hits by Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, et.al., worse because the hard-working new production can’t seem to keep itself from popping those effervescence tune bubbles one by one.
With the Go-Go’s music shotgun-wedded to Sir Philip Sidney’s 16th century prose poem The Arcadia – a marriage conceived by Avenue Q‘s Jeff Whitty, who wrote the original book before splitting, reportedly in part over his inclination to rewrite some of the Go-Go’s lyrics – Head Over Heels is Elizabethan farce by way of ye olde MTV. The verse may be archaic, but the we’re here sentiment is as up to date as last week’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

The area of intersection between fans of iambic pentameter and doers of the “Cool Jerk” may be a limited one, so you can imagine the initial chore in store for anyone charged with targeting the exact crossover audience that will most enjoy “Head Over Heels,” now and maybe forever to be popularly known as “that Go-Go’s musical produced by Gwyneth Paltrow.” Rather than being a “Jersey Boys”-style origin story about the pioneering all-female band, the story harks back to very olde England, with a cast of royal-court types offering intermittently Elizabethan-sounding dialogue between all the rocking out. Surely “Thy Lips are Sealed” popped up at some point on a list of discarded alternate titles.
The mix of ’80s music and 1680s setting is every bit as ridiculous as it sounds, and that’s a good thing, for the most part. Perhaps appropriately for a show whose themes end...

The big surprise of Cirque du Soleil’s new show on 42nd Street is how Broadway it is. “Paramour,” which opened Wednesday at the Lyric Theatre, tells a very simple Hollywood story about a mad movie director (Jeremy Kushnier) who falls in love with his leading-lady discovery (Ruby Lewis) only to see her take off with a lowly pianist-composer (Ryan Vona). In comparison, “A Star Is Born” and “42nd Street” are Dostoevsky. Where do all the standard Cirque du Soleil acrobats and aerialists fit into such a conventional musical? Philippe Decoufle’s direction tries a number of ways. For the female lead’s first.

Today we are talking to a supremely gifted performer who can be seen eight times a week on Broadway in the currently running Des McAnuff revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rices Jesus Christ Superstar, Jeremy Kushnier. Tracing his Broadway trajectory from his memorable debut in Footloose back in the late 1990s to his impressive regional theatre and concert work - Chess to The Dream Engine to Bright Lights, Big City and beyond - to his success touring in Aida, Rent and others, up to his most recent gig in Jersey Boys, Kushnier opens up about his diverse career thus far and what we can expect from him in the future, near and far.

Josh Young, who is starring as 'Judas' in Broadway's Jesus Christ Superstar after originating the role in both the Startford and La Jolla productions of the show, will be sidelined from the production again, this time for an undetermined period of time, as a bacteria infection which has caused him to miss several performances has worsened into laryngitis. Young, who has received rave reviews across the board for his performance, missed his first shows during previews just prior to opening night on March, 22. While he was back for the opening, he has been in and out of the show since March 29. His role has been played by Jeremy Kushnier and Nick Cartell in his absence.

Throughout most of this dreary U.S. indie, Dave is an unhappy denizen of New York who rides his bicycle a lot and struggles with marriage problems. He longs to have an affair -- to experience, just once, what he has been missing. As a vexed-about-sex male heading toward a full-blown crisis, Dave is really cursed as a character when it's revealed that he's a film professor.
Unfortunately, the audience is doomed to experience another movie expressly about sex that barely gets past lecherous male friends talking about it. The feature debut of writer-director and part-time professor Douglas Morse, "The Adulterer" bowed at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and it has one ironclad thing going for it: a title that might look irresistible on a marquee or videotape box to undemanding customers.
Things brighten up for Dave (Chris Diamantopoulos) when he's with two unmarried women who test his reluctance to really go through with cheating on his wife, Kim (Alice Ripley). She wants a kid and is understandably upset when Dave's wavering outlook toward their relationship becomes apparent. What she doesn't know is that tall and exotic Gabriella (Anna-Louise Plowman) has chatted and flirted with professor Dave a few times after the latter's illuminating lectures on such subjects as the sexual symbolism in "Star Wars".
But when he's out cycling and gets a flat, Dave meets the fun-loving, forthright Julie (Lainie Ventura). Soon he's wooing her with revealing conversations as they pedal to Coney Island. Alas, besides stacking the deck with attractive women that any red-blooded male would swoon over, "Adulterer" goes way over the top in its portrayal of Dave's male sexist friends, including Aaron (Jeremy Kushnier), a man so promiscuous that he's ever at the ready with smutty tales, from scoring with amputees to attending orgies.
Never sure of what direction to go in or tone to commit to, the screenplay has Dave joining Aaron and insufferable sex expert Monroe (Anthony Giangrande) -- whose line to Dave about him "needing to be raped" is seriously not funny -- for a trip to a men's retreat run by Erik Todd Feder).
For a stretch, Dave finds a new thing to believe in and becomes a leader of a similar group in the city. Meanwhile, he and Gabriella get close, but it's with Julie that Dave lives up to the title. Despite this long-expected development, the movie then rushes into exactly the happy ending that one expects from the first.
Canadian stage actors Diamantopoulos and Kushnier give energetic but predictable performances. The female characters, including Ventura's athletic Julie and Ripley's beleaguered wife, are more believable, but the performers are cornered into caricatures as shopworn as the men's.
