December 2015 NY Theater Openings

Four shows are opening on Broadway in December: “School of Rock” is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s first new musical on Broadway since 2005. Jennifer Hudson makes her Broadway debut in a first revival of The Color Purple; the original opened in 2005. The sixth production of Fiddler on the Roof comes (you guessed it) a decade after the fifth. Al Pacino and David Mamet are pairing up once again for Mamet’s new play China Doll, which was originally scheduled to open in November.

The hottest-selling opening in December, however, is Off-Broadway – “Lazarus.” And then there are the Christmas plays up the wazoo — too numerous to include them all.

December 2015 Openings Broadway, Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway

Which are you most eager to see?

Why is LAZARAUS the hottest ticket right now?

Ok... I looked it up. It seems like Ivo Van Hove is the director to have these days. I wonder if he'll do THE CRUCIBLE in a white box like he did A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE?

Opening tonight:

Lazarus

by David Bowie and Enda Walsh

starring Michael C. Hall
