Theatre Camp, which stars Molly Gordon, Ben Platt, Noah Galvin, and more, is slated to be acquired by Fox Searchlight, which would guarantee a theatrical release.

Theatre Camp, which stars Molly Gordon, Ben Platt, Noah Galvin, and more, recently had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

Get into the holiday spirit with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul as they bring you behind the making of the music for Spirited starring Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell - Now streaming on Apple TV+!

Sunita Mani is bringing that 'Christmas Mornin' Feeling' in Apple TV+'s new movie musical, Spirited. BroadwayWorld caught up with Mani to go behind the filming of Spirited's musical numbers, what it was like working with the all-star cast, and what she thinks audiences can take away from the film!

The first official teaser video for the Barbie movie has been released! Directed by Greta Gerwig, the film stars Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferreria, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Ariana Greenblatt, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Rhea Perlman, Will Ferrell, and more.

From director Sean Anders ('Daddy’s Home,” 'Instant Family”), written by Sean Anders and John Morris, with original songs by Oscar winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul ('La La Land') and production numbers choreographed by Chloe Arnold (“The Late Late Show with James Corden”), this modern retelling is a sweet and spicy holiday treat.

I will proudly admit it. I don't like Christmas shows. I once videotaped HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS and purposely stopped taping right about the time the Grinch was about to dump the presents off the edge of Mount Crumpet. I empathize with Miles Finch and Mr. Potter more than I do with Buddy the Elf and George Bailey.

In all, while SPIRITED has a lot about it that feels familiar, mostly owing to its nods to its heritage; it is just twisted enough to be a new twist on the old fable.

The musical is a fun time for the whole family!

THEATER CAMP, produced by Will Ferrell, was directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman, and also written and produced by Ben Platt and Noah Galvin, and stars Molly Gordon, Ben Platt, Noah Galvin, Jimmy Tatro, Patti Harrison, Ayo Edebiri and Amy Sedaris. Theater Camp is based on a short film that Platt, Galvin, Lieberman, and Gordon made in 2020.

Most Christmas shows seem to follow a simple pattern: Someone doesn't have that festive spirit meets someone who does, a miracle happens, and the bah humbuger sees the joy in the holidays.

Little Known Facts is a weekly podcast hosted by stage and film actress Ilana Levine. This week's episode features Casey Likes, who recently made his Broadway debut in Almost Famous The Musical as 'William Miller'!

Elf, which was released in 2003, has undoubtedly achieved that status with its endlessly quotable lines and endearingly funny performance by Will Ferrell as Buddy. Many of these beloved holiday films have been adapted for the stage, like White Christmas and A Christmas Story, so it’s natural that Elf has received the same treatment.

The new slate includes a roster of hosts including Rosie O’Donnell, Jason Alexander, Eric Andre, Amber Ruffin and more. The new shows include a “Curb Your Enthusiasm” rewatch series, several new podcasts from Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network and one series with Comedy Central, as well as a series with The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper.
