Advance tickets go on sale for broadway benefit concert!
On Monday, August 4th, at 8:00pm the New Globe Theater will be presenting VARIATIONS ON SHAKESPEARE: An Evening of Songs Inspired by the Bard. This benefit concert will highlight songs from musicals based on the works of William Shakespeare with performances by some of Broadway's hottest stars!
The works of William Shakespeare have always served as a true inspiration for many playwrights and composers over the years, with some of the most famous musical theatre pieces inspired by the Bard's plays. Kiss Me, Kate inspired Cole Porter to transform the classic Taming of the Shrew, and gave us such great songs as "Too Darn Hot" and "So In Love." The Comedy of Errors was the play that inspired Rodgers and Hart to pen the hit musical The Boys From Syracuse and the most famous musical of them all, West Side Story, is a beautiful musical re-telling of Romeo And Juliet set in 1950's New York City.
AUGUST 4th 8PM NEW WORLD STAGES
STARS TO BE ANNOUNCED IN THE COMING WEEK. The site has some possible names, and they do look amazing. I love the concept and wish them a huge success! Can't wait.
