Grammy® Award-winning superstar Barry Manilow returns to the Broadway stage for the first time in more than two decades! Don't miss this unprecedented limited engagement as one of our most beloved entertainers performs songs from his massive catalog of hits in an intimate setting at the St. James Theatre on Broadway. From “Mandy” to "I Write the Songs" to "Copacabana (At The Copa)" and so many more, Manilow’s new Broadway show is destined to be as legendary as the man himself.<br/> The St. James Theatre is located at 246 W. 44th St. Broadway, New York City, New York. It was built by Abraham L. Erlanger, theatrical producer and a founding member of the Theatrical Syndicate, on the site of the original Sardi's restaurant. It opened in 1927 as The Erlanger. Upon Erlanger's death in 1930, control of the venue was taken over by the Astor family, who owned the land on which the theatre stood. The Astors renamed it the St. James Theatre. <br> The theatre was purchased by the Shuberts in the late 1930s. They were forced to sell it to the William L. McKnight in 1957 following the loss of an antitrust case. McKnight renovated the St. James and reopened it in 1958. In 1970, McKnight then transferred the theatre to his daughter Virginia and her husband James H. Binger, who had formed the Jujamcyn Amusement Corporation. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

Watch Peter Brook's electrifying staging of The Suit unfold on stage—a haunting adaptation rooted in Can Themba's South African narrative about betrayal, punishment, and a marriage fractured beyond repair. A wife's infidelity. A suit left as evidence. A husband's cruel demand that she carry it everywhere, a wearable shadow of her transgression. Brook's direction weaves live musicians directly into the drama, letting hummed spirituals, African rhythms, and classical German lieder seep into every tense moment. The production captures an apartheid-era summer where wounds refused to close, and during winter months, its claustrophobic intensity hits even harder against the cold backdrop of the season. Since 1861, this Brooklyn institution has evolved from its origins as a home for the Philharmonic Society's concerts into a vital cultural hub. The original 176-194 Montague Street location in Brooklyn Heights boasted a 2,200-seat theater, a more intimate concert hall, performer spaces, and an ornate kitchen that fed the artistic community. The venue hosted everyone from Ellen Terry to Edwin Booth to Fritz Kreisler, mixing amateur and professional talent under one roof. Today, BAM continues that legacy by bringing world-class performance and cinema to the neighborhood year-round, proving Brooklyn's deep-rooted appetite for art extends far beyond a single season.

The Shubert Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 225 West 44th Street in midtown-Manhattan, New York, United States. <br> Designed by architect Henry B. Herts, it was named after Sam S. Shubert, the oldest of the three brothers of the theatrical producing family. It shares a Venetian Renaissance facade with the adjoining Booth Theatre, which was constructed at the same time, although the two have distinctly different interiors. It opened on October 21, 1913 with a series of Shakespearean plays, including Othello, Hamlet, and The Merchant of Venice, staged by the Forbes-Robertson Repertory Company. <br> The theatre's most famous and longest tenant was A Chorus Line, with a run of 6137 performances lasting nearly fifteen years. <br> The top floor of the building houses the offices of the Shubert Organization. The theatre's auditorium and murals were restored in 1996. It has been designated a New York City landmark. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

Wintertime brings a particular magic to catching this production—there's something about stepping into the theater's warmth to witness a story so deeply rooted in New York's gilded past. Catherine Sloper finds herself pulled in opposite directions, her father's cold disapproval clashing with a suitor's fiery devotion, and she's forced to reckon with what matters most when wealth and belonging hang in the balance. Jessica Chastain, in her Broadway introduction, shares the stage with David Strathairn, Dan Stevens, and two-time Tony winner Judith Ivey, all navigating Ruth and Augustus Goetz's exploration of how fortune shapes the heart. Directed by Tony-nominated Moisés Kaufman, this drama examines the messy intersection of duty and longing through a distinctly New York lens. The run is limited to eighteen weeks, making this the right moment to experience it.

The Circle in the Square Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 235 West 50th Street in midtown Manhattan.<br> Designed by architect Alan Sayles, it is one of two theatres occupying the underground levels of Paramount Plaza, which was constructed as the Uris Building on the site of the famed Capitol Theater movie house. It originally served as the uptown home to the Circle-in-the-Square repertory company founded by Theodore Mann and Jose Quintero in 1961 in Greenwich Village. The first production, a revival of Mourning Becomes Electra, opened on November 15, 1972.<br> The rather small auditorium has a seating capacity of 650. It is one of only two Broadway houses with a thrust stage (the other is Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theatre).<br> The building also houses the Circle in the Square Theatre School, the only accredited training conservatory associated with a Broadway theatre, which offers a two-year training program in acting. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org">Source</a>

The George Gershwin Theatre is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 222 West 51st Street in midtown-Manhattan.<br> Designed in an Art Nouveau style by set designer Ralph Alswang, it is situated on the lower levels of a towering office complex built on the side of the historical Capitol Theatre. It opened as the Uris Theatre on November 28, 1972 with the musical Via Galactica starring Raul Julia. It proved to be an inauspicious start for the venue, closing after only seven performances. From 1974-76 it served as a concert hall for limited engagements by a number of legendary pop music and jazz performers. <br> It was the first theatre constructed in New York City since 1928. With a seating capacity of 1933, it presently is the largest theatre on Broadway, with the exception of the New York State Theatre at Lincoln Center and New York City Center.<br> A Theatre Hall of Fame located in the lobby is a popular gathering place for audience members pre-show and during intermission. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>

This iconic natural amphitheater nestled in the Hollywood Hills has weathered the recent January wildfires without structural damage, though the venue has temporarily closed its doors as a precaution due to lingering air quality concerns following the Sunset Fire. Staff were safely evacuated during the emergency, and firefighters protected the grounds while the community recovers. With seating for just under 18,000 guests, this open-air venue has anchored Los Angeles' summer concert season since opening in 1922, serving as the longtime summer base for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, established in 1991, continues to bring performances tailored to the region's musical tastes. During winter months like now, the hillside setting takes on a quieter quality, but come warmer seasons, the venue transforms into a beloved gathering place where thousands gather under the stars. Check back for updates on when performances resume and the venue reopens to the public.

Since 1921, The Virginia Theatre has been a landmark in the business district of Champaign, and in the history of the region. For 75 years, the 1525 seat theatre has offered entertainment as a vaudeville house, legitimate theatre, and movie house. After over three decades as a movie house primarily, the Theatre made the return to live performances in May of 1991 with a live theatre/concert called Songs of America. The show sold out and they had to turn away 200 people. This was the first show at the theatre since the theatre was dedicated to films only. In January of 2000, the Champaign Park District joined in the efforts to save this prized landmark. After assuming control of the theatre, the Park District embarked on a massive renovation to bring the facility back to its original glory and in compliance with local safety ordinances. After renovations are complete, the Virginia Theatre will continue its tradition of quality entertainment that was sparked by such legendary performers such as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Red Skelton, Will Rogers, W.C. Fields and the Marx Brothers.
