BROADWAY
For this project, I am going to talk about Broadway. First lets talk about what Broadway is. Broadway is the principal theater and amusement district of New York City, on the West Side of midtown Manhattan centered on Broadway. There are many shows playing on Broadway right now. Here is a list of some of the plays that are playing on Broadway right now.
Wicked
The Lion King
A View From the Bridge
Billy Elliot
A Little Night Music
Memphis
The Phantom of the Opera
Chicago
Mary Poppins
Avenue Q
There are numerous ways that you can purchase tickets for a broadway show. The internet is a great way to buy tickets. I believe it is very to use the internet to purchase tickets for a show. One of the sites you can use to purchase tickets online is to go to broadway.com. Sounds easy enough, once you are there you can click on Buy Tickets. You can go right to a calendar and pick what time you want to go to the play or if you have a certain play that you want to see you can just click on the play and you will see what kind of seats are still available. They also tell you how much the tickets are so there will be no surprise to you of the price of the tickets are. If you are traveling to New York I suggest that you go by train, because if will be all most near to impossible to find a parking spot.
Right now one of the hottest shows on Broadway is “The Lion King”. You ask why is “The Lion King” such a good show. Well with a pulsing spectacle driven by primal African rhythms, unforgettable tunes (including Elton John and Tim Rice’s Oscar-winning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”) and a jaw-dropping display of exotic African wildlife brought to life onstage, there are good reasons why “The Lion King” is “hot” right now and probably will be for a long time.
When I go to see a Broadway play, I believe I want to see “The Lion King”. I love anything Disney, and “The Lion King” is all Disney. I am going to give you a brief description of what “The Lion King” is all about. The Lion King is the story of a young lion prince living in the flourishing African Pride Lands. Born into the royal family, precocious cub Simba spends his days exploring the sprawling savanna grasslands and idolizing his kingly father, Mufasa, while youthfully shirking the responsibility his position in life requires. When an unthinkable tragedy, orchestrated by Simba’s wicked uncle, Scar, takes his father’s life, Simba flees the Pride Lands, leaving his loss and the life he knew behind. Eventually companioned by two hilarious and unlikely friends, Simba starts anew. But when weight of responsibility and a desperate plea from the now ravaged Pride Lands come to find the adult prince, Simba must take on a formidable enemy, and fulfill his destiny to be king. A vibrant and exciting tale from the great creative’s at Disney, The Lion King is a story of love and redemption no family should miss.
The stars of the play “The Lion King” consist of the following
Simba- Dashaun Young
Mufasa-Nathaniel Stampley
Nala-Ta'Rea Campbell
Rafiki-Tshidi Manye
Scar-Derek Smith
Pumbaa-Tom Alan Robbins
The director of the play is Julie Taymor and the music is done by Elton John.
Now I am going to talk about the history of the shows on Broadway. One of the longest running shows on Broadway was Cats. Cats ran from October of 1982-September of 2000. The show had to close because it had been playing to half empty houses. So like everything else in the world all things have to come to an end.
Now currently the longest running show on Broadway is “The Phantom of the Opera. “The Phantom of the Opera” has won 7 Tony Awards and 7 Drama Desk Awards in 1988. “The Lion King” also won 6 Tony Awards and 8 Drama Desk Awards in 1998.
I am going to give you a little history of the show “Cats”. The musical first opened on Broadway in 1982. It won numerous awards, including both the Laurence Olivier Award and the Tony Award for Best Musical. The Broadway show ran for 18 years before it had to close due to lack of audience. It still holds records for longest running Broadway play.
This concludes my Broadway Blog Project.
