Playbill News: Cast of Brooklyn to Open New York Emmy Awards
Cast of Brooklyn to Open New York Emmy Awards
By Andrew Gans
05 Apr 2005
The cast of the new Broadway musical Brooklyn will open the upcoming New York Emmy Awards on April 6.
Cleavant Derricks, Eden Espinosa, Will Swenson, Shelley Thomas and Haneefah Wood will open the annual awards show with a performance of Brooklyn's "Streetsinger." The New York Emmys will be broadcast from 8-10 PM ET on WNYC-TV (Channel 25 on Time Warner Cable).
Directed and choreographed by Big River's Jeff Calhoun, Brooklyn began previews Sept. 23, 2004, and officially opened Oct. 21 at the Plymouth Theatre.
'Phantom' in Seoul signals a shif in marketing strategy of musicals
Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera," the blockbuster that touched off a sizzling musicals boom here, will wow Korean audiences again at Seoul Arts Center's Opera House from June 10 to Sept. 1.
As expected, the renowned show is creating another boom: tickets for June have almost been sold out and the remaining tickets are showing reservation rates of more than 60 percent.
What's unexpected, though, is the way producers and organizers promote this 9.8-billion-won project. Unlike other big-budget musicals that rely heavily on TV ads to promote their shows, "Phantom" does not have any media partner.
