“Hines is a superstar in her own right, and her sensual dance moves and powerhouse vocals were highlighted during the hit song “Bad Girls.” The onstage chemistry between Mastrokostas and Hines set the stage on fire. Their “Heaven Knows” duet was one of those magical onstage moments that stay with you long after you exit the theatre.” - Smithtown Matters
The Who’s Tommy Now in Previews at The Nederlander Theater
In 1969, The Who created a rock opera that changed the course of music history.
Some 25 years later, The Who’s TOMMY arrived on Broadway, winning 5 Tony Awards® and pushing the boundaries of what musical theatre can be. This March, the Amazing Journey arrives in a dazzling new production direct from a sold-out, record-breaking, award-winning Chicago premiere.
“Broadway has nothing else like this wizardry going on, not this season and nothing I know of for next season. Visually and sonically overwhelming, it’s a prescient masterpiece of a rock opera.”

Bob Fosse’s Dancin’ on Broadway
“FUN, LAUGHS, GOOD TIMES!” (NY Mag). Bob Fosse’s DANCIN’ is “an all-out spectacular celebration of Fosse’s passion and those who bring it so vividly alive on stage” (Daily Beast). Utterly reimagined for the 21st century by director Wayne Cilento—who starred in the original Broadway production—this DANCIN’ brims with a level of warmth, emotion, and color rarely seen in modern interpretations of Fosse’s influential style, and features some of his most inventive and seldom performed choreography. “A surefire crowd-pleaser, DANCIN' stars 22 of Broadway’s best dancers — watching them move is a thrill! This is Broadway, baby!” (Entertainment Weekly).

Funny Girl Opening Night April 24, 2022
THE MUSICAL COMEDY CLASSIC IS BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER—AND BROADWAY AUDIENCES ARE THE LUCKIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
Featuring one of the most iconic scores of all time by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, a revised book from Harvey Fierstein based on the original classic by Isobel Lennart, tap choreography by Ayodele Casel, choreography by Ellenore Scott, and direction from Michael Mayer, this love letter to the theatre is ready to step back into the spotlight.
Golden Globe® nominee Beanie Feldstein stars alongside Tony® nominee Ramin Karimloo, five-time Emmy Award® winner Jane Lynch and Jeff Award winner Jared Grimes and dazzles with the songs “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” and “People.” This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened—she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.
