musical

The outdoor musical has been a summer sensation for over 50 years.

Social media success of NBC’s live musicals (not to mention the actual success of The Wiz) already goaded FOX into Grease and Rocky Horror remakes, and now ABC has its own baby no one’s putting in a corner. Dirty Dancing will get the three-hour musical treatment, starring Scream Queens alum Abigail Breslin to boot.

NBC can't get all of the live, televised musicals! After the success of their 'Sound of Music Live!' event last year and their upcoming 'Peter Pan Live!' show, rival network Fox has as announced that they will be producing a three-hour special of 'Grease' live on the air in 2015.

No matter how much validity there is to this, it doesn't change the fact that 5 people lost their lives and another was injured.  A tragic story about 6 cast members of the Texas musical drama.  A Texas DPS spokesman says that alcoholic beverage containers were found in the car driven by the cast members after the horrific accident.

It seems like tons of hit movies from the pre-2000′s wind up with musical adaptions on Broadway, and now it seems ‘Austin Powers’ is next on the list. Following in the footsteps of ‘Legally Blonde,’ ‘Footloose,’ ‘Rocky’ and ‘Sister Act,’ Mike Myers is reportedly in talks to turn his popular movie into a Broadway musical.

If you liked ‘Watch the Throne,’ then you’ll love ‘Kanye: The Musical.’ The two-man show, put together by Australian actors Phillip Roser and Damien Higginbotham, doesn’t feature any of Kanye West‘s actual music, but does chronicle the life and times of rap’s best-known egocentric — and takes a bit of creative license while doing so. So, sort of like ‘Jersey Boys,’ if they couldn’t get the rights
