The title character of “Billy Elliot the Musical” is an 11-year-old boy living in northern England, the son and brother of striking coal miners, who discovers he has a gift for ballet.
The role has a couple of basic requirements. The performer needs to look like an 11-year-old boy. He also needs to be an excellent ballet dancer, since the plot turns on the fact that his teacher believes he has the talent to successfully audition for the Royal Ballet School in London, even though his family is scornful of that ambition.
Billy Elliot the Musical is one of the greatest stories of struggle and fulfillment known to mankind. The added plus, of course, is that Sir Elton John created the music for the entire performance, from start to finish, and the book and lyrics were written by none other than Lee Hall; who also wrote the film’s screenplay. Naturally, any project that combines out-of-this-world talent with the skills of great musicians like Elton John and Lee Hall, is absolutely going to be one incredible event! Billy Elliot the Musical is one such project that did exactly that! This musical speaks of the wonders, triumphs and tribulations of a young boy trying to find his way in the world. He is left without a mother to care for him or a father to protect him, and so, although alone, he remains ambitious and takes up a new hobbie of ballet dancing.

Dreams and imagination—the greatest princess-themed Disney fairytales—take center stage in a royal celebration as Disney On Ice presents Dare to Dream, February 13-18, 2013 at Sacramento’s Sleep Train Arena.
The ice sets a spectacular scene with grand set pieces and appearances by current princesses from Tangled and The Princess and the Frog, as well as a beloved classic beauty, Cinderella. A cast of world-class skaters glides across the arena illustrating stories about romance, humor and adventure—bringing memorable moments from these cherished Disney films to life in a contemporary skating production.
Throughout the show, surprises come from every corner. According to Scenic Designer Stan Meyer when asked which aspect of the set will surprise audiences, he replied, “I was super-excited the very first time I saw Rapunzel’s hair get cut off and waft down to the ice. It’s a really emotional, super dramatic moment in the show. In a very theatrical way, I think the set facilitates the same sort of feeling that the animation portrayed.” From beginning to end it is a show not to be missed.
Disney’s Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen and the Frog share their tale with romance and humor while Rapunzel, her companions Flynn and Maximus, embark on an epic adventure. Rounding out the production, the story of Cinderella comes to life as she meets her Prince Charming with a glass slipper fit for a fantasy come true.
Especially suited for kids and adults of all ages, the musical journey of Disney On Ice presents Dare to Dram plunges into a world where anything is possible.
Producer Juliette Feld’s dream for families who attend the show is, “…that they will truly have an escape from their every day routine. I would love for the audience to be dancing in the aisles to all the music of The Princess and the Frog, fall in love with Cinderella all over again, and be completely enraptured with Rapunzel and Flynn’s journey. I hope that families will come into the arena, be transported to the worlds of these three amazing princesses and have memories that will last a lifetime.”

Glengarry Glen Ross opened, Saturday, December 8, 2012, at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (236 West 45th Street). The limited run has been extended through Sunday, January 20, 2013.
The cast is led by two-time Tony Award winner Al Pacino, who is joined by Tony nominee Bobby Cannavale, Tony nominee David Harbour, Tony nominee Jeremy Shamos, Emmy Award winner Richard Schiff, John C. McGinley and Murphy Guyer in this revival of David Mamet's acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. Tony Award-winning director, Daniel Sullivan directs.
Glengarry Glen Ross has set design by Tony Award winner Eugene Lee, costume design by Tony Award winner Jess Goldstein and lighting design by James F. Ingalls.
Let's see what the critics had to say...
Ben Brantley, The New York Times: The fight has gone out of the once-robust boys from "Glengarry Glen Ross,"...That sense of defeat has always lurked beneath the speeding dialogue of "Glengarry." But in Daniel Sullivan's deflated production...subtext has been dragged to the surface and beached like a rusty submarine. This is a "Glengarry" for a recessionary age...Whether comic or bitter, dialogue is often allowed to resonate in empty air...Much of the beauty of this play comes from its revved-up rhythms....though Shelly may be flushed with new confidence, he hardly inspires it...By the way, it doesn't look as if Shelly is addressing his fellow employees; his gaze is focused directly on us, the folks out there in the dark. This performance places Shelly firmly and dominatingly at the center of "Glengarry," which needs to be a tight ensemble piece. There's not much the other actors can do to compete with or even balance Mr. Pacino's grandstanding...The production's strange combination of comic shtick and existential weariness makes it feel rather like a long-running sitcom being filmed before a live audience that knows its characters' signature tics and flourishes by heart.
See Al Pacino take on the iconic role of Shelly "The Machine" Levene (played in the film by Jack Lemmon) in a strictly limited engagement of David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece Glengarry Glenn Ross. Directed by Daniel Sullivan, this production marks the 30th anniversary of the play, and also stars Bobby Cannavale (in the role Pacino originated in the film), David Harbour, Richard Schiff and Jeremy Shamos.
