Cast of Rocky On Broadway Performing on Atlantic City Boardwalk

A new entertainment series, Broadway on the Boardwalk, kicked off in Atlantic City this week. The free show, taking place every Monday in July, brings actors from current Broadway shows to perform on the Kennedy Plaza section of AC’s Boardwalk. This week’s first go-round featured singers from Cabaret, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, and Motown: The Musical. Photos below:

Motown: The Musical

It's been an insane success on the Great White Way. Now, the musical that CBS called "More than a Broadway show … a celebration of music that transformed America" is on the way to Philly's Academy of Music. Motown: The Musical features over 40 top hits from the likes of Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and The Temptations. It is clearly the highlight of the touring Broadway season here in the city. Don't miss our interview with one of the stars of the show, Jesse Nager. January 16-18, 8:00pm, Academy of Music, 240 South Broad Street. —Bryan Buttler

Philly folks may be interested to know that the cast of Rocky On Broadway will perform next week, July 28th—a nice option if you haven’t had a chance to see the show in New York. (And it may one of your last chances to see it; the show closes August 17th.) Joining them will be stars from Chicago, On the Town, and Pippin.

The closing week—July 28—will feature performances from Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Bullets Over Broadway, and Rock of Ages. Shows start at 8 p.m., and they are free. More info here.
