(Tuesday, December 18, 2012 – New York, NY) BIG FISH, a new musical based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and the 2003 Columbia Pictures film written by John August, will star Norbert Leo Butz as Edward Bloom, and have its pre-Broadway world premiere at Chicago’s Oriental Theatre (24 West Randolph Street) in a limited 5-week engagement beginning performances Tuesday, April 2, 2013, opening Sunday, April 21, 2013, and playing through Sunday, May 5, 2013.  Tickets on sale Monday, February 4, 2013.

If you want to give yourself a gift this holiday season, take yourself to Studio 54 for a bawdy English music hall musical that will knock your socks off. Roundabout Theater Company’s production of The Mystery of Edwin Drood is simply splendid.  Oh sure I have gripes with the book; I find it clumsy and complicated. But let’s face, this is based on a Charles Dickens novel that was never finished. In his unique approach, playwright, composer and lyricist, Rupert Holmes, has the audience vote on who ultimately is the murderer, who is the detective, and who are the lovers.  There is a bounty of delight to be had in this production.
