From the creators of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning musical "Next to Normal," "If/Then" stars Tony Award®-winner Idina Menzel.



Straight from starring in the Oscar®-winning movie, "Frozen," and performing the blockbuster hit song, Let It Go at the Academy Awards®, Idina Menzel returns to Broadway for the first time since winning the Tony Award® for "Wicked" in the new musical "If/Then." The production reunites Tom Kitt (music), Brian Yorkey (book and lyrics), and Michael Greif (director), the creative team behind the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning musical, "Next to Normal."



"If/Then" is a contemporary new musical that follows Elizabeth (Menzel) as she rebuilds her life in New York, a city of endless possibilities, set at the intersection of choice and chance where the road you take meets the road you didn't. The Original Broadway Cast Recording stars Idina Menzel, the voice of Elsa from the mega-hit movie "Frozen," who won the Tony Award® for Best Actress for "Wicked" and was also in the original cast of "Rent." "If/Then" reunites Menzel with her former "Rent" cast-mate Anthony Rapp and also features Tony Award®-winner LaChanze ("The Color Purple"), James Snyder ("Cry-Baby") and Jerry Dixon ("tick, tick...Boom!, Once On This Island").

Recounting the rich history and reliving the timeless sounds of the phenomenal Frankie Vallie & The 4 Seasons, the new Broadway musical Jersey Boys answers the musical-and philosophical question, "How did four would-be wise guys from Newark, NJ, become one of the greatest chart-topping successes in pop music history?" Jersey Boys celebrates legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi who, as the 4 seasons, wrote their own songs, invented their own identity, and sold 175 million records worldwide-all before they were 30.

Although it squarely falls in the "jukebox musical" category, Jersey Boys doesn¹t try to integrate its songs in an artificial plotline. The show tells the story of the early-1960s group the Four Seasons, and the musical numbers tend to be introduced in context, as when songwriter Bob Gaudio comes up with a tune, or the quartet performs a show. This allows Jersey Boys to flow better than some of ill-fated peers, and the actors can shine without having to bend backward to accommodate an inane book. The show's most (only) daring move is to start with a hip-hop-tinged French-language version of "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)," an actual hit in France in 2000. After that it's all VH1-biopic territory, but it's done with so much flair, taste and energy that the ride's a fun one. The Four Seasons had enough hits ("Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," etc.) to easily fill an evening at the theater, so it's left to the cast to do right by them. And it does, particularly John Lloyd Young as the band¹s star lead, Frankie Valli. Young hits all the falsetto notes and brings real freshness to the part. His "Can¹t Take My Eyes Off You," a second-act peak, is signed, sealed and delivered with a star's acumen. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

He is a genius whose rapturous music fills the Opera Populaire of 1870 Paris - and a solitary soul hiding his disfigurement behind a mask and dwelling in the catacombs below. But he can no longer hide his love for young soprano Christine. And the phantom may emerge from the shadows past the point of no return.



The stage musical sensation magically and hauntingly comes to the screen in director Joel Schumacher's lavish production, sweeping audiences aloft to new cinematic heights of sight-and-sound grandeur. Gerard Butler (the Phantom), Emmy Rossum (the National Board of Review Breakthrough Performance Award winner as Christine) and Patrick Wilson (as Raoul) play the fateful love triangle that unfurls in splendor, suspense - and in the music of the night.
