Scott Brown News

What did our critic think of JAGGED LITTLE PILL at National Arts Centre?

Broadway Across Canada is bringing the highly anticipated, Tony Award-winning Jagged Little Pill to Ottawa next week and I had the opportunity to chat with Justin Scott Brown about the show and his roles in the ensemble and as the understudy for Steve.

'Play With Me' - a digital collection, presents 'American Whore Story,' a new stage production written and performed by Naomi Grossman. Directed by Richard Israel. Presented by AWS Entertainment Group and Cracked Pepper Productions.

Whether you are a fan of the movie, have seen the musical on Broadway, or even listened to the amazing cast recording, you'll lose your head over Beetlejuice.

Jagged Little Pill, is the latest “Jukebox Musical,” in a rather long line of “Jukebox Musicals,” to make it on Broadway and then tour in recent years. With music by Alanis Morissette, book by Diablo Cody, and additional music by Michael Farrell and Guy Sigsworth, the show traverses the iconic landscape of songs represented on Morissette’s 1995 album of the same name, and touches on topics of pain, healing, and empowerment.

The Max Original three-part docuseries HOW TO CREATE A SEX SCANDAL, directed by Julian P. Hobbs and executive produced by Elli Hakami (co-directors “House of Hammer”). HOW TO CREATE A SEX SCANDAL is a startling and scarcely believable telling of a crime story that really is stranger than fiction. Watch the new video trailer for the docuseries now!

Showtime Productions Inc. has announced the Winnipeg premiere of JAGGED LITTLE PILL, Oct. 17 to Oct. 22 for 8 shows at the Centennial Concert Hall. 

Based on Tim Burton's 1988 Academy Award-winning film of the same name, Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager who is obsessed with death. Luckily, her new house is haunted by a recently deceased couple and a degenerate demon. When Lydia calls on this ghost to scare away her insufferable parents, Beetlejuice comes up with the perfect plan, which involves exorcism, arranged marriages, and a girl scout who gets scared out of her wit.

Scott Brown and Anthony Brown's stage adaptation may be hit-and-miss, and Eddie Perfect's score may be a punkish bust, but thanks to a design and tech dream team, BEETLEJUICE fanatics won't be disappointed with the touring Broadway version.

It's showtime! The Bank of America Broadway in Fort Lauderdale series and presenting sponsor Nicklaus Children's Hospital, announced that single tickets for the North American Tour of BEETLEJUICE, will go on sale March 24, 2023 at 10am.

Jesse of SixTONES gets strange and unusual for the Japan premiere of the Broadway musical smash hit BEETLEJUiCE, coming to Tokyo this summer!

Go see Beetlejuice. Go see Beetlejuice. Go see Beetlejuice. Okay, storytime! I have a personal connection to the Beetlejuice musical on two levels. First, when I was a senior in high school and a freshman in college, I followed Stephen Sondheim's advice on learning how to write by adapting an existing work solely for educational purposes, to learn 'how' to do it. My 'untitled unauthorized Beetlejuice musical' project was almost uniformly bad, but it taught me a lot; the two songs from it that showed any promise both wound up revised and repurposed into the musical I wrote during the pandemic. Second... I'm the guy who named the Netherlings. Yes, the devoted, rabid and sometimes frightening Beetlejuice musical fan club is named after a term I coined online. Naturally, when the tour came to town, I had to see it, and believe me: it did not disappoint.

This riveting drama, written by David E. Kelley and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, tells the true story of Candy and Pat Montgomery and Betty and Allan Gore. The cast includes Elizabeth Olsen, Jesse Plemons, Lily Rabe, Patrick Fugit, Krysten Ritter, Tom Pelphrey,  Keir Gilchrist and Elizabeth Marvel. Watch the new video trailer now!
