The New Kids on the Block have released their new single from their forthcoming album Ten. Entitled “I Like The Remix” the song is a catchy and fun tune featuring lead vocals by none other than Donnie Wahlberg. Take a look at the fun video for the new song below. Ten releases from the Block/Boston Five label to retailers nationwide and for digital download on April 2nd.
Love Never Dies, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s spectacular sequel to his smash hit musical The Phantom of the Opera, is getting some new life. Webber has called the work his third best-ever behind EVITA and the original Phantom. While I would argue this show is by-far better than both of those productions, Love Never Dies deserves a long and healthy life in the world of musical theater. Originally plagued by issues in its original London bow, the show was a financial disappointment and didn’t last a full year in the West End. Unfortunately, Webber was removed from that production as he battled prostate cancer. Luckily, Webber healed; and so did the show! Hiring a new production team and director (Simon Phillips of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert), he brought the show to Melbourne, where in its reimagined form, won critical praise and adulation by audiences. The show was eventually filmed and released on DVD last year. Now, the Melbourne-based production is starting an 80-week tour in the UK with plans for the show to eventually come to North America and possibly even back to the West End depending on the success of its tour. Take a look at the Web Site for Love Never Dies, featuring news and tour dates below:http://www.loveneverdies.com/
Ben Hope, a proud Alum from the BFA Theatre Program at UCF, will permanently take over the lead role of “Guy” in the Tony-Award Winning Best Musical Once. Steve Kazee, who won the Tony Award for Best Actor for his performance in the show will give his final performance on March 24th. Kazee has been out of the show for at least 4 weeks for vocal rest. I had the honor of seeing Ben fill-in for Kazee back in August of 2012. And he is GREAT! Congratulations to Ben for landing the leading role in what could arguably be the best show currently on Broadway and representing the Black and Gold with pride!
