Broadway Year in Review

The editors of Broadway.com have jumped into the media norm of looking back on 2006, and they put out several “top” choices for 2006 in the theaters, highlighted by several Top 5 lists.  The categories for these lists include top shows and top performers.  The publication also expanded its look back with an overall yearly wrap-up that takes a closer look at these top choices.

It’s been quite a year on Broadway, as several new stars and potentially-legendary shows took flight, much to the delight of those who like to use Broadway tickets.  Of course, if you’re not sure where to go to find tickets to these shows, all you need to do is head on over to StubHub.com.

The Wedding Singer Closes on Broadway - Tour to Follow?

After 30 previews and 284 performances, The Wedding Singer is giving its final performance on Broadway tonight at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.  Tony Award winner John Rando—of Urinetown fame—directed the musical, which is based on the popular 1998 New Line Cinema film. Composer Matthew Sklar and lyricist Chad Beguelin penned the score; the book was written by Beguelin and Tim Herlihy. Thoroughly Modern Millie Tony winner Rob Ashford choreographed, as was reported on Playbill.com.

However, this is not necessarily the end for this show.  Producers are currently in discussions about launching a nation-wide tour in 2007, as the show is already well-known around the world based on its initial film success.  StubHub.com will be here ready to serve you as soon as any announcements are made and theater tickets become available.
