SUMMARY:Wicked
DESCRIPTION:See it LIVE. Remember it FOREVER. So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. WICKED\, the Broadway sensation\, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives\, there is another young woman\, born with emerald-green skin—smart\, fiery\, misunderstood\, and possessing an extraordinary talent. \nWhen she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular\, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good\,” and the other one “wicked.” From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment\, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains\, heart and courage of WICKED\, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).

SUMMARY:All The Devils Are Here: How Shakespeare Invented The Villain
DESCRIPTION:Dubbed “The villain of Broadway” by Playbill\, Tony Award® Nominee and Grammy Award® Winner Patrick Page has never shied away from exploring his dark side. \nNow\, with this tour-de-force solo performance\, he turns his attention to the twisted motivation and hidden humanity at the heart of Shakespeare’s greatest villains. Moving swiftly through the Shakespeare canon\, Page illuminates the playwright’s ever-evolving conception of evil by delving into more than a dozen of his most wicked creations. Thrilling\, biting\, hilarious\, and enlightening\, what Page delivers is a masterclass on the most terrifying subject of them all: human nature.

SUMMARY:Wicked
DESCRIPTION:See it LIVE. Remember it FOREVER. So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. WICKED\, the Broadway sensation\, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle.

SUMMARY:A Streetcar Named Desire
DESCRIPTION:A Streetcar Named Desire \nMusic by André Previn\nLibretto by Philip Littell\nBased on the play by Tennessee Williams \nPerformed with the BLO Orchestra \nA new co-production with Boston Lyric Opera and Opera Theatre of Saint Louis \nEmerson Cutler Majestic Theatre \nThursday\, November 5 | 7:30pm\nFriday\, November 6 | 7:30pm\nSunday\, November 8 | 3:00pm \nSung in English with English supertitles \n“Real? Who wants real?… I want magic!”\nThe sweltering heat of a New Orleans summer sets the tone for the simmering tensions that crackle and spark between the unforgettable characters of Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play\, set to André Previn’s luminous score. Magnetic but self-deluded Blanche DuBois leaves her Mississippi hometown and seeks shelter with her sister Stella and her husband Stanley. Clinging to a romanticized image of the past\, she quickly finds herself at odds with the domineering Stanley\, whose brutal realism clashes ruthlessly with her worldview. Cruelty\, desire\, illusion\, and fear of change are on raw display as the resulting events send everyone involved careening toward destruction. \nDaniela Candillari returns to BLO for the first time since conducting 2022’s award-winning cinematic opera Svadba. She joins forces with internationally famous singer\, stage director\, and arts leader Patricia Racette (BLO’s The Tales of Hoffmann\, 1992) to helm this compelling production. Brittany Renee\, Angela Yam\, Thomas Glass\, and Brenton Ryan head the cast of a lyrical\, emotionally exposed work that demands honesty and vulnerability from its performers and audiences alike.
