JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

"Jesus Christ Superstar" will be familiar to anyone with knowledge of western religion.  Borrowing from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the musical tells the story of the last seven days of Jesus Christ's life.  As the show opens, apostle, Judas Iscariot is Empire.  Indeed, priests Caiaphas, Annas and more gather and agree that Jesus and His movement must be crushed.  An exalted Jesus arrives in Jerusalem only to find the temple filled with unsavory merchants and money tenders.  Overrun by flood of people needing His help, He tells them to heal themselves, and his confidante Mary Magdalene has to calm Him down.  In "Jesus Christ Superstar," Judas, fearing the movement is getting out of Jesus' control, goes to the Romans and tells them Jesus will be in the Garden of Gethsemane the following night.  He receives 30 pieces of silver as payment.  At the Garden, Judas arrives with Roman soldiers and identifies Jesus by kissing Him on the cheek.  Jesus is arrested and sent to Caiaphas, then Pontius Pilate and finally King Herod, who condemns Him to death on the cross. 

As one of the earliest rock operas, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's "Jesus Christ Superstar" is a completely sung-through piece and reflects a '70s musical sensibility.  Numbers runs the gamut from high-waiting rock anthems like Judas' "Heaven On Their Minds" to more folky-rock ballads like Mary's "I Don't Know How to Love Him."  The single, industrial-looking set features a scrolling LED banner that counts down the days for the audience, and gives the feeling of watching the events unfold through a CNN-like lens.  "Jesus Christ Superstar" was originally conceived to have many modern-day elements, so while Jesus wears the expected flowing white robes, costumes range from bondage-esque numbers in the Temple scene to Roman soldiers that have the look of heavily armored commandos.

MAMMA MIA !

"Mamma Mia !" is set in a beach resort in the Mediterranean, "Mamma Mia!" tells the story of Sophie, a bride to be with one wish:  to have her absent father walk her down the aisle.  After reading passages about three old lovers in her mom's diary, Sophie sends each a wedding invitation in hopes of learning which is her dad.  The arrival of the men from her past is surprising to Donna, Sophie's fiercely independent mother, who prides herself on getting through life without a man, and highly amused to Donna's two best gal pals.  The more Sophi and her mother struggle to find truth and understanding, the more it threatens to tear them apart and wreck Sophie's dream wedding.

Calling all ABBA fans, this has your name written all over it.  The songs in "Mamma Mia!," are all culled from the Swedish super-group's songbook, and this is one Broadway show where singing along (and dancing in the aisles) is encouraged.  In "Mamma Mia!" kids will love the cool music & the energetic dancing, the plot can arouse questions for the little ones.  (Why did Donna have so many boyfriends, mommy?!)  Although nothing's very explicit and the tone is cheery throughout, making it a pretty safe family show.

THE BEST MAN

Set in 1960 at the National Convention in Philadelphia, "The Best Man" is the story of two presidential candidates hoping to earn their party'a nomination: Secretary William Rusell (John Larroquette) and Senator Joseph Cantwell (Eric McCormack).  When Cantwell threatens to smear Russell's reputation with a rumor about his mental health, Russell faces a tough decision.  Will he unleash an equally devastating smear on Cantwell to win the presidential ticket, or keep his moral integrity intact even if it means losing the race ?

"The Best Man" is a gripping and humorous behind-the-scenes look at the race for the presidency.  Director Michael Wilson includes the audience in the action, decorating the Schoenfield Theatre with brightly colored banners and campaign posters.  The lush, rotating set gives audience members a voyeuristic look into the hotel rooms of both presidential candidates, with a cast of theatrical heavy hitters (James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury, Candice Bergen, Jefferson Mays, Kerry Butler, Michael McKean) paying visits to the candidates to deliver powerful performances.  Gore Vidal wrote this juicy drama more than 50 years ago, but it retains a ripped-from-the-headlines quality for an election year revival. 

"The Best Man," is a play about power, ambition, political secrets, ruthlessness and the race for the presidency, Gore Vidal's "The Best Man"is set at the national convention where two candidates are vying for their party's nomination during the primary season.  It's an inside look at the dirt-digging, electioneering...and what could be more fun in a Presidential campaign season than these theatrical fireworks.

ANYTHING GOES

With the exception of some slight sexual innuendo and a few jokes that might be considered un-PC by today's standards, "Anything Goes" is fast-paced, comical and kid-friendly.

"GHOST"

The new musical show "Ghost," tells the story where banker Sam Wheat and artist Molly Jensen are young New Yorkers who are very much in love.  While walking home to their apartment one night the couple gets mugged, and Sam is shot and killed.  Trapped in this world as a ghost, Sam learns the truth behind his murder, and that Molly is in grave danger.  As he follows the man who killed him to try and find out more, Sam stumbles on eccentric storefront psychic Oda Mae Brown.  Though she's been a fraud of medium for years, it turns out she really can hear Sam.  She's reluctant to get involved, but Sam convinces her to help him communicate with Molly and bring down the conspirators who took his life.

From the moment the opening credits are projected, "Ghost" is clearly a musical adaptation of the beloved feature film which makes great use of high-tech, cinematic elements.  These stage illusions-ghost Sam walks through doors, spirits and bodies instantly seperate into two beings-make "Ghost" a seriously supernatural experience.  Projection is used for everything from basic backdrops and scene-setting to back up for a music video-style number by Oda Mae.

"ONCE"

In the story "Once" a guy is an Irish singer & songwriter who spends his day fixing vacuums in the Dublin shop he runs with his father, and his nights playing his music in local pubs.  He is on the verge of giving up music altogether when a Czech immigrant, "Girl", walks into the bar, hears him play and refuses to let him abandon his guitar.  As it turns out, she has a broken vacuume cleaner, Guty repairs it , and she pays him in music on a piano she plays in a record shop.  Over the course of a week, Girl convinces Guy to believe in the power of his music and his love for the woman who inspired his songs.  They scrap together money to record a demo album with a motley crew of bar friends, and their unexpected friendship and collaboration evolves into a poweful-but very complicated-love story.

The musical "Once," has the feel of a pub concert, and every effort is made to give the audience an intimate evening with the characters.  Before the show, the actors, who are also the show's musicians, play Irish standards in the Dublin pub set, and audience members are invited to join them for a drink from the onstage bar.  Since "Once" is about musicians, the show feels like a play with music, because the songs are a natural part of the storyline and there is no spontaneous bursting into song.  While the bettersweet love story between Guy & Girl is the show's central plotline, there is plenty of humor from colorful characters like Girl's Czech roommates, and Irish bank manager and surly music store owner.  The tuneful score expands on the original movie's Oscar-winning hit, "Falling Slowly."

ROCK OF AGES

"Rock Of Ages" is the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard.  Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strips last legendary venuses, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality.  Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes).  But the rock and roll fairy-tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plns to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall.  In "Rock Of Ages," can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip and themselves before it's too late?  Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more hold the answer. 

"Rock Of Ages" explores the pursuit of dreams and tells its story through hits from iconic groups and rockers of the 1980s.  "Rock Of Ages" is superflous silliness at its best.  The live band onstage and playist of karaoke-friendly classics (as well as the drinks served seat-side during the show) encourage plenty of audience participation.
