It's certainly been confirmed on their website. And I'm pretty sure Kelsey Grammer and Mr Boe were announced to open it.

On the Today Show, Alfie Boe performed the tittle song from the show, and it was said that he is leading the National Tour once the Broadway run ends. I guess he'll only be with it for a little, since it was also announced he's opening the London Production.

Its announced at the end of the video.

I was wondering if anyone knew how they create the tinker bell effect that flies around as the show starts, and also what they're using on their hands for the effect as well.

Does anyone know what's going on with the show? Are they releasing the rights or trying for a tour? Maybe regional productions? Haven't really heard anything since it closed.

Hi everyone, 

I was wondering if anyone had any insight into what are the best theatrical set design books out there that cover everything from stage floor, curtains, fly systems, speaker systems, etc to set models. I'm designing the set for a high school production, and they have a fairly healthy budget, so I'd like to get a feel of Broadway set designs. 

Thanks!

Yes, we will be performing arrangements of songs, written by my group, and we'd also like to perform songs note for note straight from Broadway. The venues we'd be performing should have their license, but I'm also wondering, could we as a group get a license so we don't have to worry about the venues? Also, is it possible to get the songs of shows that are still on Broadway, i.e. Wicked, Fun Home, Aladdin, Finding Neverland etc.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

So I'm part of a new big band type group where we'll be performing Broadway songs (instrumentaly and with vocals) and am also the manager. I'm wondering, obviously we'll have to pay something for these songs, which is fine, but does anyone know how we'd go about getting the rights to perform one or two songs from shows (like you hear on Broadway, not crap rewrites)? Who do we contact? Any guess as to the cost? 

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to sit in with an orchestra during a show, how you came about doing that, and how it was? I've been backstage and in pits before, but really want to sit in during a show. 

Thanks!

So, if I went into Finale, what template/preface/font would I use?

Thanks!

Hey all musicians, (and everyone else really)!

Does anyone know what program/font is used to create the pit orchestra books that are used on Broadway (and MTI). 

Thanks!

I was listening to the Sirius XM Broadway Channel earlier and Matthew Morrison, Kelsey Grammer and Laura Michelle Kelly we're on talking about the show, and during the hour long broadcast, they played "Believe" and "Stronger" from the Original Broadway Cast Album......so it's definitely done, now to see when it's released.

Does anyone know when Broadway Week will be this year? I know it's sometime in September, but specific dates would be great, (if they've been announced)! Also, how is ticket availability, and do they sell out fast?

Which shows should I see? (I'll be up there long enough for five shows)

The Broadway League just released which shows will be performing numbers this year at the Stars in the Alley event. Has anyone gone to this before? Is it worth going, and how early should I arrive to get a decent view?

Hey thanks! Just bought them for front mezzanine! Have you by chance been to The Broadway Theatre, and can comment on where to sit there, I'm also seeing Doctor Zhivago.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, 

I am heading to see Finding Neverland in a few weeks, and am about to purchase tickets. I have never been to the Lunt-Fontanne Theater, but have heard its pretty intimate in regards to other theaters. I am looking at purchasing front mezzanine seats, that's usually where I like to sit to see shows. Has anyone sat in this section and can comment on the views? How about orchestra seating and rear mezzanine views?

Thanks!
