A cast of just 12 actors will portray over 50 characters in the musical. This play puts a fantastic and interesting twist on the age old character of Peter Pan. The angle used to show what happened before Peter Pan become who he is will be something everyone can relate to. Nostalgia will be running through the air as all ages will be reminded of their childhood and rethink the possibility of never growing up.

Peter and the Starcatcher will be played at Brooks Atkinson Theatre (256 West 47^th Street). Previews of this show begin on March 28^th with the official opening date being April 15^th.

Complete with a great cast, Peter and the Starcatcher has great direction in their directors Roger Rees (Tony Award Winner) and Alex Timbers (Tony Award Nominee). The play is written by Rick Elice (Tony Award Nominee) who wrote the critically acclaimed musical, Jersey Boys.

Not only will this musical be extremely entertaining but the feeling the audience will get from the inspiration to never grow up will resonate for long after the play ends.

Tonight, ‘Mary Poppins’ will perform its 2,213^th show on Broadway at the New Amsterdam Theatre. The significance? Friday’s performance will make the musical the 28^thlongest-running show in Broadway history.

Mary Poppins made its Broadway debut on November 16, 2006. Today, Disney’s classical story about the magical nanny who stole the hearts of kids is getting ready to leapfrog ‘Oklahoma!’, en route to a long haul of many more successful performances. This feat comes after the news that the creator of the score for ‘Mary Poppins’, Robert Sherman, passed away at 86 years.

Robert Sherman is credited with writing one of the show’s most popular songs, ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ – a song that reminds fans of Mary Poppins’ memorable adventures with each new listen. Among other Disney classics, Sherman also wrote another favorite in ‘Chim Chim Cher-ee’ and one of the most played songs of all-time, ‘It’s a Small World (After All)’.

Today, the Broadway musical has been as spectacular as the 1964 Disney film. Children and adults alike have had nothing but praise for the show as audiences have fallen in love with Steffanie Leigh’s graceful role as Mary Poppins. After a successful North American tour, Leigh has been stunning audiences at the New Amsterdam Theatre on 42^nd street. Joined by Tony Award nominee, Gavin Lee, who plays Mary Poppins’ cheery chimney sweep, Bert, the cast of Mary Poppins will continue to reflect the brilliance of the book and film on Broadway – reminding us that ‘anything can happen if you let it.’

Mary Poppins tickets are available for tomorrow night’s show.

The 1992 Disney movie, Newsies, starring the now A-Lister Christian Bale will be hitting the stage this March for a limited 101 show run.

Newsies is based on the real-life newsboy strike of 1899 in New York City. According to press notes, the premise is described as a, “rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged ‘newsies,’ who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike for what’s right.”

Newsies has music and dancing lead by some of the top names in show business. The 8-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menken, composes the featured score in the musical. The director of this film is the choreographer from movies such as Dirty Dancing and High School Musical, Kenny Ortega.

This production will bring back a great deal of nostalgia for the 80s and early 90s babies who grew up on this great film, so to see it come to life will be magical even to 20 and 30 year olds. However, this is a musical that all ages will love as it brings together exquisite dance and singing performances with a great underlying, inspiring story.

Previews for this limited time show begin March 15^th in the Nederlander Theatre. Opening Night is March 29^th and the show’s run will end June 10. Due to this limited time offer it is recommended to get tickets very early before they sell out!

Check out a sneak peek into the story’s action!

I don’t think I’m alone in asking what is there to do on Sundays now with the NFL season over and done with until September. Believe it or not, there are still countless events going on throughout the country that will keep us entertained until the shoulder pads clash again.

There is no hotter ticket in the sports world today than that of the New York Knicks. Jeremy Lin has sparked this team, the city of New York, and even the country with his incredible career starting playing ability.

What many are calling “Linsanity,” is not only bringing in 6 straight wins for the Knicks and filling both home and away arenas with fans because of his presence, but even the company that owns the Knicks’ stock price is at an all-time high! That’s right; a single player is creating a shift in the stock market from his averages of 27 points and almost 9 assists per game over the last five games. (The first 5 starts of his NBA career)

He is a phenomenon, not only because of his outstanding basketball skills, but the story behind him is great as well. He is the first American-born player of Taiwanese or Chinese decent to play in the NBA. He’s no dummy coming out of Harvard, however, undrafted. He went on to get cut by both the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets before getting his chance, due to team injuries, to play.

It will be very interesting to see in the coming days how Jeremy Lin will continue to affect the game with the return of superstars Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony.

Will you be part of the “Linsanity” as the New York Knicks have a 5 game home stand starting tonight?

Who wouldn’t want to be a part of this after his final second shot against Toronto last night to “Lin” the game?
