By Katie Macken — 2 years ago

Tony Winner, Olivier Winner, Emmy winner Nathan Lane returns to Broadway with Danny Burstein and Zoë Wanamaker in ‘Pictures From Home’ February 2023

Three of the theatre’s most inventive, inspired and award-winning artists will return to the stage in the Broadway premiere of Pictures From Home, which brings to vivid theatrical life a comic and dramatic portrait of a mother, a father and the son who photographed their lives.

Based on the photo memoir by Larry Sultan, adapted to the stage by Sharr White (The Other Place, Annapurna), starring Nathan Lane, Danny Burstein and Zoë Wanamaker and staged by award-winning director Bartlett Sher, Pictures From Home will evoke memories of childhood, parenthood, and the vicissitudes that comprise familial relationships.

Pictures From Home will begin previews on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 at Studio 54 on Broadway (254 W 54^th Street)and officially open on Thursday, February 9, 2023 for a strictly limited engagement. The creative team and ticketing information will be announced at a later date.

Nathan Lane, who won a 2022 Emmy Award for his guest actor turn on Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building”, is a three-time Tony Award winner for Angels in America, The Producers and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. In addition to his numerous and notable stage and screen credits (he has appeared in 24 Broadway productions and in more than 35 films), he has won six Drama Desk Awards, an Olivier Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame. Lane was recently seen as Ward McAllister in Julian Fellowes’ period drama “The Gilded Age” for HBO, and he will return for the show’s second season.

Danny Burstein won the 2021 Tony Award for his performance as ‘Harold Zidler’ in Moulin Rouge on Broadway, which also earned him a Drama League Award, a Grammy nomination and an Outer Critics Circle Award. He has starred in 18 Broadway shows and received Tony nominations for Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, Golden Boy, Follies, South Pacific and The Drowsy Chaperone. For his stage work, he has also won three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Drama Desk Awards and a Distinguished Performance Drama League Award. Some of his recent, notable screen roles include “The Good Fight”, “Evil”, “Dr. Death”, The Same Storm and Tick, Tick Boom.

Zoë Wanamaker is a two-time Olivier Award winner for Once In A Lifetime and Electra. She has received four Tony nominations for her work in Piaf, Loot, Electra and Awake and Sing!. Other notable stage credits include: “Elizbeth Proctor” in The Crucible (Royal National Theatre), “Silvia” in Silvia (Apollo Theatre), “Amanda Wingfield” in The Glass Menagerie (Donmar Warehouse) and “Madame Ranevskaya” in The Cherry Orchard (Royal National Theatre). Wanamaker is also known for her TV roles on the BBC sitcom “My Family”, “Prime Suspect” and on film as “Madame Hooch” in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Pictures From Home reunites Sher with both Wanamaker whom he directed in Awake and Sing! and Burstein whom he directed in Fiddler on the Roof.

Though it is being performed at Studio 54, Pictures From Home is not a Roundabout Theatre Company production. Roundabout Theatre Company subscribers will, however, have Pictures From Home as part of their season package.

The producing team is headed by Jeffrey Richards, Hunter Arnold, Rebecca Gold, Jayne Baron Sherman, Kayla Greenspan and Jacob Soroken Porter.

Marty McFly is a rock ‘n’ roll teenager who is accidentally transported back to 1955 in a time-travelling DeLorean invented by his friend, Dr. Emmett Brown. But before he can return to 1985, Marty must make sure his high school-aged parents fall in love in order to save his own existence.

Bob Gale said:

“To paraphrase Marty McFly,

you guys are ready for this, and your kids are gonna love it (too)!

If Bob Zemeckis and I time traveled back to 1980 and told our younger selves that the script they were struggling to write would become a Broadway musical 43 years later, they’d kick us out of their office and call us crazy. Well, sometimes, crazy ideas give birth to great entertainment, and now Bob and I are eager to share our musical vision with New York audiences. The London production exceeded our original expectations on every level, and we’re certain the Broadway version, anchored by the brilliantly talented Roger Bart and Hugh Coles, along with the fantastic songs by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard, will be even better. Regardless of whether you’ve seen the original film, Back to the Future: The Musical, with its outstanding performances and incredible stagecraft, will delight and enthrall you, your kids, your parents, and everyone you know!”

Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard said, “It all began for us with the story and characters that made Back To The Future a much beloved, cinematic classic. The magic of musical theatre presented us with the possibility of adding new dimension and depth to our familiar Hill Valley residents. Through song and dance their innermost thoughts, hopes, and dreams are now revealed. It’s a story first told in 1985, that traveled back to 1955, and will now be told in 2023 in New York City. We are thrilled and excited to invite you to join us on this epic journey through time. ‘Where we’re going’ . . . is Broadway!!”

Lead Producer Colin Ingram said, “After playing for two years in London and winning the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical, we are thrilled to be bringing BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical to Broadway where we see it as its natural home. Marty, Doc and everyone in Hill Valley will be living on Broadway and 50^th Street for hopefully many years to come and we look forward to entertaining and thrilling audiences with this moving and spectacular musical version of the much beloved film. I’m delighted to be bringing Tony Award winner Roger Bart back to Broadway and introduce Olivier Award nominee Hugh Coles as George McFly who have enthralled audiences in London.”

Additional casting will be announced shortly.

The critically acclaimed West End production of BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical has been seen by more than half a million people to date, broken Adelphi Theatre box office records and recently extended to July 23, 2023.

Screen star, Tony Nominee Gabriel Byrne Heads To Broadway With Solo Show ‘Walking With Ghosts’

By Katie Macken — 2 years ago

Screen star and Tony Nominee Gabriel Byrne heads to Broadway with solo show ‘Walking With Ghosts’

Byrne, a two-time Tony nominee, was on Broadway in a 2016 production of Long Day’s Journey Into Night, starring as James Tyrone. He also appeared in A Touch of the Poet in 2005 and A Moon for the Misbegotten in 2000.

The synopsis for Walking with Ghosts reads:

“By turns a sensory recollection of a childhood spent in a now almost vanished Ireland, a subversive commentary on stardom,

and – ultimately – a lyrical homage to the people and landscapes that shape our destinies, Walking with Ghosts reflects a remarkable life’s journey in all its hilarious and heartbreaking facets.”

Byrne’s career includes as an actor, writer and director on both stage and screen, and he has starred in over 80 films.

He earned a Golden Globe win for his work in the television drama In Treatment.

Following its debut at Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre, Walking with Ghosts was then staged for the Edinburgh International Festival.

The production will next have a limited run in London’s West End from September 7-16. Walking with Ghosts was commissioned and first produced by Landmark Productions.

Directed by three-time Emmy award-winning director Price, the creative team also includes Sinéad McKenna (set and lighting designer); Joan O’Clery (costume designer) and Sinéad Diskin (composer & sound designer). Wagner Johnson Productions serve as Executive Producers.

Actor Gabriel Byrne will bring his solo show Walking with Ghosts to Broadway this Fall, with a limited engagement of the production, directed by Lonny Price, beginning performances on Oct. 18 at the Music Box Theatre.

The show officially opens on Thursday, Oct. 27 and runs for 75 performances only.

The production, adapted from Byrne’s memoir of the same name, was announced today by producers Anne Clarke, Mara Isaacs, and Neal Street.

“What an honor to be on Broadway again,

especially in a glorious venue like the Music Box,”

Byrne said.

“It was a real joy to hear laughter in a theatre during the premiere run of Walking with Ghosts in Dublin. I’ve chosen to be honest and unflinching in the recounting of a life from working class Dublin to Hollywood. Although rooted in the local, I hope the play has a universal resonance.”

Oscar Nominee Laura Linney Sets 2023 Broadway Return In New Play By ‘Proof’ Playwright David Auburn

By Suki Jefferson — 2 years ago

Oscar Nominee Laura Linney best known for her acclaimed film roles, multiple Tony and Emmy nonimations sets her Broadway return in the new Pplay By ‘Proof’ Playwright David Auburn

Laura Linney will return to Broadway Spring 2023 in a new play by Pulitzer Prize winner David Auburn (Proof).

The Manhattan Theatre Club production of Summer, 1976

will reteam the writer with his Proof director Daniel Sullivan.

Summer, 1976 will begin previews on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

Additional casting, the opening night date and creative team for Summer, 1976 will be announced soon.

MTC describes Summer, 1976 as:

a “deeply moving, insightful piece…

is about connection, memories, and the small moments that can change the course of our lives. Over one fateful summer, an unlikely friendship develops between Diana, a fiercely iconoclastic artist and single mom, and Alice, a free-spirited yet naive young housewife. As the Bicentennial is celebrated across the country, these two young women in Ohio navigate motherhood, ambition, and intimacy, and help each other discover their own independence.”

Linney is a five-time Tony Award nominee, most recently for 2020’s My Name is Lucy Barton, and a four-time Emmy winner, most recently for her starring role in Showtime’s The Big C.

Sullivan and Linney have worked together on Broadway several times, including 2017’s The Little Foxes. In addition to Proof, Sullivan directed Auburn’s 2012 play The Columnist.

Adam Driver, Filmmaker Noah Baumbach’s ‘White Noise’ Open 60th New York Film Festival

By Rocco Delfino — 2 years ago

Adam Driver, Filmmaker Noah Baumbach “White Noise” will open the 60th New York Film Festival.

After its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival Film, Noah Baumbach’s feature take of Don DeLillo’s 1985 novel White Noise opens the 60th New York Film Festival, making its North American premiere at Alice Tully Hall on September 30.

In the Netflix movie, Adam Driver plays Jack Gladney, a professor and father-of-four whose comfortable suburban college town life and marriage to the private Babette (Greta Gerwig) are upended after a horrifying accident creates a toxic event.

DeLillo’s novel is known for being a pop-philosophical nightmare on unbounded consumerism, ecological catastrophe, and the American obsession with death.

“In 1985 my father and I drove from Brooklyn to see Kurosawa’s Ran open the 23rd NYFF, the same year that he brought home the hardback of Don DeLillo’s White Noise,” said Baumbach.

“Opening the 60th NYFF with White Noise is truly special for me.

This festival was part of my film education and has been a home for me and many of my movies over the years.

I couldn’t be more excited and honored to return.”

“Opening the 60th edition of the New York Film Festival with Noah Baumbach’s ambitious, funny, and resonant White Noise underscores this Festival’s history of introducing new filmmakers to New York audiences.

A regular attendee of the Festival as a kid, Noah Baumbach saw his indie filmmaking career take off after debuting Kicking and Screaming at NYFF in 1995,” said Eugene Hernandez, Executive Director of the New York Film Festival.

“White Noise will usher in a 60th NYFF selection of films by established directors and vibrant new voices;

we’re looking forward to sharing the communal experience of cinema with audiences at Lincoln Center and in other parts of the city this fall! Stay tuned!”

Baumbach’s previous NYFF Main Slate selections include Kicking and Screaming (NYFF33), The Squid and the Whale (NYFF43), Margot at the Wedding (NYFF45), Frances Ha (NYFF50), The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (NYFF55), and Marriage Story (NYFF57 Centerpiece). Baumbach’s While We’re Young was a secret screening at NYFF52.

Baumbach co-directed the documentary De Palma with Jake Paltrow, which was a special event at NYFF53.

The NYFF Main Slate selection committee, chaired by Lim, also includes Hernandez, Florence Almozini, K. Austin Collins, and Rachel Rosen.

Presented by Film at Lincoln Center, the New York Film Festival will run from Sept. 30-Oct. 16.
