We have a very special contest for you! You can win tickets to see Bhangin’ It: A Bangin’ New Musical at the La Jolla Playhouse. The dance musical begins on March 8 and plays through April 17, 2022, at the Mandell Weiss Theatre.
Bhangin’ It: A Bangin’ New Musical is set in the colorful world of a collegiate Bhangra Dance competition. When a young woman finds her identity cannot be defined by checking a box, she sets off on a quest to dance to her own beat. Drawing from competitive Bhangra and mixing it with other Indian and Western dance forms alike, Bhangin’ It: A Bangin’ New Musical is an intoxicating, brash and joyous musical.
Find your beat. Find your team. Find yourself. While East Lansing University senior Mary Darshini Clarke has spent her entire life trying to figure out where she fits in, she has always found community dancing on the school’s prestigious bhangra team.

For their first Broadway Christmas show, American Idol rivals Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken are dreaming of holiday TV variety specials of yore from the likes of Andy Williams, Sonny and Cher and Dean Martin. Holiday lesson: Careful what you wish for.
If you’ve watched any of those old specials on retro channels like Get TV this season, you’ll know a small dollop of Christmas kitsch covers a lot of cookie. Ruben and Clay are spreading it wide and thin at the Imperial Theatre.
Loaded with Christmas songs both religious and secular, Ruben & Clay’s First Annual Christmas Carol Family Fun Pageant Spectacular Reunion Show, opening tonight, pads the proceedings with intentionally cheesy sketch comedy, corny banter and, more successfully, thoughtful personal nostalgia.

It would take divine intervention to save the latest revival of "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Neil Simon Theatre.
The strains of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's music are part of our collective memory -- quick, just say "Jesus Christ Superstar" and try to not sing those words. Lloyd Webber and Rice are geniuses at writing songs that stay in your brain forever. The restaging of the 1971 hit is an event, but when a few people bolted at intermission, it was understandable.
The show opens in 2012, which is told by huge letters projected onto the stage, and the clock quickly flips back until we are in the Year 33. If ever you knew the plot before heading into a theater, this was it -- so clearly, it's all in the telling.
The action follows the last week of Jesus Christ's life, and his days are counted down, heralded on an electronic ticker,...
