Last night, September 13, "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" launched its first ever LNJF Broadway Week. The week will showcase all the biggest hits the Great White Way has to offer, from pounding punk rock to 60s swing. Each night this week, Jimmy will welcome a different Broadway musical to the Late Night studios.

Last night, Jimmy was visited by David Bryan from Bon Jovi to introduces a performance by the cast of MEMPHIS. The musical explores the underground dance clubs of the 1950s with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love. The show was the winner of four 2010 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. For tickets and more information, visit www.memphisthemusical.com/.

TIME STANDS STILL's Christina Ricci also stopped by to promote, the acclaimed Tony nominated Best Play by Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies, directed by Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan. The production also stars Laura Linney, Brian D'Arcy James and Eric Bogosian.

TIME STANDS STILL, which enjoyed an extended sold-out run at Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre this spring, will resume performances Thursday, September 23, 2010 and open Thursday, October 7 at Broadway's Cort Theatre.

TIME STANDS STILL follows Sarah and James (Laura Linney and Brian D'Arcy James), a photojournalist and a foreign correspondent trying to find happiness in a world that seems to have gone crazy. Theirs is a partnership based on telling the toughest stories and together, making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life... and everything changes - in a flash. For more information, visit www.TimeStandsStillonBroadway.com.
