The Leonard Bernstein-Adolph Green-Betty Comden show Wonderful Town gets a Broadway revival! Brooke Shields stars in the musical, based on Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov’s play, My Sister Eileen. Two sisters from Ohio arrive in New York and find life in the big city a lot more complicated than they ever imagined. The score features songs such as songs as "Christopher Street," "My Darlin’ Eileen," and "A Little Bit In Love." Kathleen Marshall (who won a 2004 Tony for her choreography here) directs and choreographs. Now starring Brooke Shields through January 30!

On your knees, citizens of Broadway. A superwoman walks among you. Having established herself as the first lady of musical tragedy — with Tony-winning performances in Stephen Sondheim’s ”Passion” and a somber ”King and I” — Donna Murphy has now crossed to the sunny side of the street. She makes it very clear, thank you, that this, too, is unconditionally her turf.
