Get ready to fall under the spell of Jonas Nightingale. With his troupe of singers, he's journeyed far and wide, rattling the rafters, conning the crowds, trading miracles for money. And tonight's a special night: He's sharing the story of his very own redemption. Don't miss his roof-raising tale about the time he came face to face with a strong-willed woman and a spirited boy who put his grift--and his own faith--to the test.
The producers of Hairspray and The Producers present a theater-lover's salvation. Four-time Tony Award® nominee Raúl Esparza headlines this inspired new musical from a remarkable team: eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken; screenwriter Janus Cercone and Tony®-winning book writer Warren Leight (Side Man); lyricist Glenn Slater; choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys); and Christopher Ashley, director of the Tony®-winning Best Musical Memphis.
I’m here 12 years later with an idea. There is so much of the footage, and good quality footage, that makes me wonder did they film enough to put together a full performance to sell on DVD? Because I would sure buy it and judged by all the comments here I think a lot of other people would too. In the meantime I will settle for the cast recording, which I got yesterday, and it is AMAZING!!
