A house guest also joins them for the evening and becomes entangled in the Bascovs' family drama. When Act II opens on Christmas Eve in the year 2000, we see the toll that 20 years has taken on this family.

Cort Theatre

This is the Broadway debut of Richard Greenberg's Breakfast at Tiffany's, adapted from the Truman Capote novella of the same name. Holly Golightly (Emilia Clarke) is the "it girl" of New York café society. She is unemployed, spare the full-time job of socializing with wealthy men (her suitors include a millionaire playboy and the future president of Brazil); according to Capote, Golightly is an "American geisha." In the autumn of 1943, Golightly becomes acquainted with "Fred" (Corey Michael Smith) a confirmed bachelor that has just moved into her Upper East Side brownstone. Breakfast at Tiffany's is the story of their year-long relationship amidst the glitterati as war rages across the ocean.

Unlike the beloved 1961 film adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn, Greenberg's play will steer much closer to the original Capote novella. Emilia Clarke of HBO's Game of Thrones makes her Broadway debut as Holly Golightly.

Charlie Price (Tony nominee Stark Sands) has suddenly inherited his father’s shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy.

A fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos, Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man he’s meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible… and discovers that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.

Featuring a sensational new score, knockout dancing and a spectacularly uplifting story, Kinky Boots is the must-see new musical that proves that sometimes, the best way to fit in is to stand out!

Spider Man, Turn Off the Dark
Opens June 14, 2011
Open Run
Foxwoods Theater

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.

John Golden Theatre

Riffing on some of Anton Chekov's most time-tested themes, Christopher Durang proves in his hysterically funny and surprisingly affecting new romp, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, that whether you're in 19th Century Russia or 21st Century Pennsylvania, the human condition never changes. Vanya (David Hyde Pierce) and Sonia (Kristine Nielsen) have never left the confines of their childhood home - a rambling farmhouse in Bucks County, PA - while having to witness the glamorous exploits of their sister, Masha (Sigourney Weaver), a famous movie actress, from afar. A surprise visit from Masha and her 20-something boy toy, Spike (Billy Magnussen), throws the normally quiet household int0 utter upheaval as its residents and visitors get swept up in an intoxicating mixture of lust, rivalry, regret, and the sudden possibility of escape. Only one thing is certain: no one will get out of this without looking absolutely ridiculous!
