Revamped! BWW Rounds Up This Season's Broadway Adaptations

From the magical romances of ALADDIN and THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY to the perils of showbiz in CABARET, BULLETS OVER BROADWAY and ACT ONE; from the gripping physicality of ROCKY to the revolutionary tune of LES MISERABLES and the friendship and loss of OF MICE AND MEN, this season runs the gamut when it comes to captivating tales.

But most of them started offstage; they came from the creative minds at Disney, filmmaker Woody Allen, writers Moss Hart, Victor Hugo and more.
