Rent will have a one-night concert on Broadway and a full Off Broadway revival this summer.
If City Center Encores! was originally founded as a kind of musical-theater seance devoted to raising the dead, or at least the long-forgotten then High Spirits is about as literal a mission statement as you could ask for. The rarely revived 1964 musical opens with a seance and arrives at City Center like a theatrical ghost itself: long unseen, mostly forgotten, and faintly glowing with the promise of pleasures from another era. That alone makes High Spirits worth summoning.
Following a five-star sold-out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory, The Producers, directed by Tony Award-winner Patrick Marber and starring Andy Nyman, Marc Antolin, Trevor Ashley, Raj Ghatak, Harry Morrison and Joanna Woodward, has transferred to the Garrick Theatre.
