THE MOVIE "Into the Woods"
THE DEAL How badly do you want to get into an advance screening of the musical? Glee clubs and vocal groups can submit a video of themselves performing the end of the musical's intricate prologue for a chance to win tickets. Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the music and lyrics for "Into the Woods," will judge the contest. For more info, visit intothewoodscontest.com
THE SHOW "Fun Home"
THE DEAL Original cast members of the show, which will transfer to Broadway this spring following last season's much-acclaimed Off-Broadway run, will appear in the Broadway production, including Michael Cerveris, Judy Kuhn and Sydney Lucas. Emily Skeggs, who took over for Alexandra Socha during the Off-Broadway stint, will join them.
THE SHOW "Fish in the Dark"
THE DEAL Though little is still known about "Fish in the Dark," a new play written by and starring Larry David that will come to Broadway this spring, it was announced last week that the cast will include Rita Wilson, Rosie Perez, Ben Shenkman and Jonny Orsini.
THE SHOW "Camelot"
THE DEAL A scaled-down revival of the classic musical at Two River Theater in New Jersey has earned acclaim from local and New York critics, leading to speculation over whether it could have an afterlife in New York. Director David Lee (whose recent revival of Cole Porter's "Can-Can" is supposedly Broadway bound) deserves credit for cutting down a challenging, overstuffed musical into a workable format.
