BWW Review: TITANIC THE MUSICAL at Landestheater Linz
The Tony Awarded Musical from Maury Yeston ( Music and Lyrics) and Peter Stone ( Book) brought back on stage at the beautiful Landestheater Linz, one of my favorite modern theatres in our hemisphere. A show with many different stories, full of tragedy and sadness, all about a supposed to be, unsinkable ship, created to write history. History was written on April 14, 1912, but not how J.Bruce Ismay ( Karsten Kenzel) hoped. It went out to become a historical tragedy, remembered even after more than a hundred years as the fatal collision with an iceberg, and many lost souls in the Atlantic Ocean.

BWW Review: SIGNATURE VINYL at Signature Theatre
Music has always been able to get us through the most turbulent times in this nation's history. With the ongoing pandemic and all the other craziness that is happening right now, Signature Theatre gives us Signature Vinyl. It's a cinematic concert experience that will make you forget everything in the world for a little while as some of Signature's top performers put their spin (no pun intended) on some classics from the 60's and 70's.

Marvin Gaye's In The Groove album was released by Motown Records in August 1968. Buried on the LP's first side, 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' – a track that was considered a cover of the Gladys Knight & the Pips' hit from the year before – became the album's third single on October 30, 1968.

With the single's major international success, Motown quickly rereleased the album with the title I Heard It Through The Grapevine.

The new LP reissue is available on black vinyl and limited edition, Sound of Vinyl-exclusive purple 'grape' color vinyl.

BWW Interview: Kenneth Mosley, 'Berry Gordy' of MOTOWN THE MUSICAL at Wolf Trap, Filene Center
MOTOWN is not just a company. It is an icon. This was the soundtrack of decades of change in America and still serves as the inspiration for current innovators in music. So it only seems inevitable that someone would see that this needed to be adapted for the musical theatre stage.
