Nathan Wright News

Jeff Whiting (Bullets Over Broadway) directs and choreographs a workshop of IN THE LIGHT, a new musical by Michael Mott (Mob Wife), Nathan Wright (Peninsula) and Justin Silvestri in a four-week developmental workshop presentation on December 8th and 9th.

While nearly every Broadway show receives a developmental workshop in New York or Los Angeles, the creative team for one show with Broadway aspirations has selected an unusual city for this step in the development process.

On this week's episode, with composer Michael Mott ('Where the Sky Ends'), we drink manhattans in sippy cups and  spill about Bright Star, the national treasure that is Carmen Cusack,The Color Purple, and how when Cynthia Erivo opens her mouth we all weep. We pour one out for Tuck Everlasting and American Psycho, Kimberly tells her sweet Hamilton engagement story, and Kevin does his best impression of Mandy Patinkin singing The Color Purple. Also we play Cast This Movie Musical! for Sunday in the Park, Dream Ballet Showdown, and Lights of Broadway Card Game. Hang out with us as we all get Broadwaysted!

Broadway's Chad Kimball (Memphis), Mary Beth Peil (Follies, The Good Wife), Elizabeth Morton (Death Of A Salesman) and Academy Award winner James Lecesne (The Best Man, Trevor) join Matt Doyle (Book Of Mormon, War Horse),Jennifer Cody (Shrek, Urinetown) and Sheffield Chastain (Is He Dead?) lead an industry reading of Ron Pallilo's play,The Lost Boy at the Manhattan Theatre Club Studios, 311 West 43rd St on September 15 and 16.

The Production Company aims to showcase great shows performed by exceptional Australian talent. Their current offering of Guys and Dolls - the musical fable of Broadway - fulfils this aim.

Acclaimed Greek theatre director Nadia Foskolou returns to New York City for the world premiere of Hotel Mediterranee. Based on Matisse's Self Portrait by playwright Charles Mee and the Greekfilm documentary Yiannis Moralis by Stelios Charalambopoulos, Hotel Mediterranee is a collage between live performance and video. This devised piece follows the lives of two renowned painters-a fictional Henri Matisse and the real Yiannis Moralis. By interrogating the negotiation between the everyday burden of making a livelihood and the creative process, Hotel Mediterraneeexplores the angsts and pleasures behind all great creativity and behind all human existence.
