With the many entertainment choices New York City has to offer, it can be difficult to make a choice. Look no further. “On Stage” host Frank DiLella has curated a list of “must-see” shows this week, directing you to the best of Broadway, off-Broadway and beyond.
Tituss Burgess in "Moulin Rouge!"
Four-time Emmy nominee Tituss Burgess is playing the ultimate master of ceremonies, Harold Zidler, in the Tony Award-winning hit "Moulin Rouge!"
Catch Burgess alongside "Riverdale’s" Casey Cott and Courtney Reed, who play Christian and Satine, in this spectacular jukebox extravaganza now playing at The Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
“Forbidden Broadway”
On the off-Broadway front — the award-winning parody revue "Forbidden Browadway" is back in the spotlight — this time taking on the late great Stephen Sondheim.
Don’t miss “Forbidden Sondheim: Merrily We Stole A Song” where you will hear nods to shows like "Sweeney Todd", "Into The Woods," "Sunday in the Park with George" and others.
The show is running Friday and Saturday evenings through Nov. 27 at The Green Fig Cabaret Theater at the Yotel. For tickets, head here.
“Frankie & Beausy”
On Nov. 10 and 11, don’t miss original Eponine from “Les Miserables” — Tony Award -winner Frances Rufelle and her partner, "West End" star Norman Bowman, in "Frankie & Beausy" at 54 Below.
Frank DiLella caught up with Frances and Norman in the "On Stage" studio this week to get a sneak peek of their new act.
"It's a cabaret about perfectly imperfect relationships. And it's the fun, the upside downs, love, laughter. It's got lots of comedy," Rufelle said.
"We basically chucked together a bunch of stories we love and then started to form a story with it and then found others to fill in the spaces," Bowman added.
