Tony Award
winners Bill Irwin and Nathan Lane star in
the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of
Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, directed
by Anthony Page.
Waiting for Godot remains Samuel Beckett's
most magical and beautiful allegory. The story
revolves around two seemingly homeless men
waiting for someone - or something - named
Godot. Vladimir (Bill Irwin) and Estragon
(Nathan Lane) wait near a tree on a barren
stretch of road, inhabiting a drama spun from
their own consciousness. The result is a comical
wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes and nonsense,
which has been interpreted as a somber summation
of mankind's inexhaustible search for meaning.
Ticket Price: $36.50-$116.50 Tickets by Phone:

Turn Off the Dark
Previews Start January 16, 2010
Show Opens February 18, 2010
Open Run
Hilton Theatre
Drawing from
over forty years of Marvel comic books for
inspiration, Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark
spins a new take on the mythic tale of a young
man propelled from a modest rowhouse in Queens
to the sky-scraping spire of the Chrysler
Building, the bustling offices of the Daily
Bugle, through the dizzying canyons of Manhattan,
to new vistas never before seen.
The musical follows the story of teenager
Peter Parker, whose unremarkable life is turned
upside-down -- literally -- when he's bitten
by a genetically altered spider and wakes
up the next morning clinging to his bedroom
ceiling. This bullied science-geek -- suddenly
endowed with astonishing powers -- soon learns,
however, that with great power comes great
responsibility as villains test not only his
physical strength but also his strength of
character.
Spider-Man's
battles will hurtle the audience through an
origin story both recognizable and unexpected
-- yielding new characters as well as familiar
faces -- until a final surprising confrontation
casts a startling new light on this hero's
journey.
