New Shows, New Stars

Superior Donuts

There’s a new production on the horizon from the playwright who brought us August: Osage County. Tracy Letts’ Superior Donuts is scheduled to begin previews on Broadway on October 1st. As of this writing, no theatre has yet been named. The story, which takes place in Chicago, revolves around the unlikely friendship between a withdrawn ex-hippie donut-shop owner and his brash, bright-eyed young African-American employee. Casting for Superior Donuts has yet to be announced, but you can be sure you’ll read about it here when the roles are cast.

The Addams Family

Nathan Lane & Bebe Neuwirth

How’s this for a pairing? Broadway stars Nathan Lane and newlywed Bebe Neuwirth are set to play the leading roles of Gomez and Morticia when the new musical version of The Addams Family begins previews next March. Both Lane and Neuwirth are two-time Tony Award winners, Lane for his roles in A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum and The Producers, Neuwirth for her performances in Sweet Charity and Chicago. At this writing, no theatre has been announced for The Addams Family.

The Little Mermaid

There’s a new prince and a new princess coming to Disney’s production of The Little Mermaid on Broadway. Chelsea Morgan Stock will take over the role of Ariel from Sierra Boggess on June 2nd, while Drew Seeley assumes the role of Prince Eric from Sean Palmer on June 9th. The Little Mermaid is on now at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.

And that’s today’s buzz from Broadway. Join us later this week for our next blog update.
