The musical, featuring the tunes of Jimmy Buffett, officially opened March 15 at the Marquis Theatre.

Where the full cast and creative team of the Broadway musical Escape to Margaritaville pursued their college studies.

The Jimmy Buffett musical is set to begin performances February 16 at the Marquis Theatre.

Paul Alexander Nolan, Alison Luff, and more will reprise their star turns following the West Coast premiere and upcoming fall tour.

Canada's Theatre Calgary has announced casting for the world premiere of The Little Prince – The Musical, adapted and composed by Nicholas Lloyd Webber — son of Tony-winning composer Andrew Lloyd Webber — and James D. Reid.

Owing to cost, labor and subscribership, it's unusual to find a regional theatre that will mount as many as ten plays in a season. Well, always up for a challenge, Denver Center Theatre Company will offer ten plays in one production -- and that's just the beginning of their 2000-2001 season, announced March 8.

SPOTLIGHT: MIMI HINES
You may know her best as Mrs. Latimer on NBC's "Frasier," but Mimi Hines first burst onto the scene in 1958 when she and her partner, Phil Ford, performed on Jack Paar's "The Tonight Show." Hines possesses one of the more thrilling voices in the business, and her performance of "Till There Was You" on that 1958 telecast caused a sensation. After headlining in all the top clubs around the country, Hines conquered Broadway, when she replaced Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl and kept the show running for 18 months.

DIVAS SALUTE DAVID ZIPPEL
Randy Graff is the epitome of the maxim "less is more." Graff is not a showy performer. She doesn't strut around the stage or gesticulate wildly. She simply stands, sings and beguiles. In fact, two of the highlights of All Girl Band: The Songs of David Zippel, which I caught this past Monday evening at the Public Theater's Joe's Pub, were Graff's renditions of "How Can I Win" and "You Can Always Count On Me." It's not surprising that her version of City of Angels' "You Can Always Count On Me" was flawlessly delivered with measured doses of comic sarcasm (okay, she flubbed a lyric, but it hardly mattered), for she did win a Tony for her role in that musical. However, what was unexpected was her simple, yet affecting version of The Goodbye Girl's "How Can I Win." I've always enjoyed the Hamlisch/Zippel score for that ill fated musical (it was the book that needed work), and Graff managed to bring that sweet song to life, adding a few vocal inflections and slides that worked wonderfully. I'd love her to record that song; in fact, it would be great if the entire evening of Zippel tunes were recorded.
