This Week’s Picks! Have Coffee with Elisabeth Moss, Go Gershwin at An American in Paris & More

Hey, you, hitting the gym for spring break—why bother? Things are getting good in New York. High-profile shows are opening left and right and the weather doesn’t resemble the inside of your freezer anymore. (Well, it kinda still does, but it's almost over!) This week features the debut of three new musicals, and a night of stars performing for charity and more. Stay where you are, and bask in this week’s picks!


Celebrate Broadway Opposite Day
March 9 at the Al Hirschfield Theatre
Being philanthropic is usually a one-way street. Broadway goes both ways. When you make a donation, you get entertained! With the 10th anniversary of Broadway Backwards, your ticket fee not only supports BC/EFA and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of New York City, you get gender-reversed performances from all-stars like Norm Lewis, Tony Yazbeck, Lena Hall, and more. Top that, UNICEF! Your move, March of Dimes! Click for tickets!



Spend the Morning with Elisabeth Moss
March 12 on ABC
Elisabeth Moss is currently starring in The Heidi Chronicles and is in the upcoming final season of Mad Men. So, there will be tons to discuss when she chats with Kelly and Michael. It should be a good time. We only hope that Moss knows it’s present day and doesn’t walk out in a suit with giant shoulder pads or some other early ‘90s fashion atrocity. Let’s hope she reads this!



Kick Off Spring with the Rockettes
Begins March 12 at Radio City Music Hall
It isn’t spring until the snow melts and the tourists start wearing their double-pleated shorts/white walking shoes combo. The crappy weather still doesn’t dim our excitement for the Rockettes’ New York Spring Spectacular. The new show features Tony winner Laura Benanti, Derek Hough of Dancing with the Stars, and, of course, the Rockettes in a story of three New Yorkers who change each other’s lives. Expect 3-D special effects, large-scale puppetry, and glorious gams. Click for tickets!



Feel the Romance at An American in Paris
Begins March 13 at the Palace Theatre
Terrific things come from Paris: fashion, fattening desserts, and easy-to-imitate accents. Add another. After a stint in the city of lights, An American in Paris—based on the classic 1951 Gene Kelly musical—finally begins performances on Broadway soil. Get ready for terrific dancing (led by Robert Fairchild, Megan’s brother), enchanting George Gershwin music, and old school romance aplenty. This was practically made for date night, so ditch the Netflix and get going. Click for tickets!


Lose Yourself at Finding Neverland
Begins March 15 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre
Aside from being a terrific peanut butter, Peter Pan is an amazing story. Author J.M. Barrie’s journey to his artistic achievement, however, is equally compelling. Glee's Matthew Morrison returns to Broadway as Barrie, a tortured soul whose creative and personal life turns around when he meets widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Laura Michelle Kelly) and her four boys. Kelsey Grammer, Carolee Carmello, and Teal Wicks also star in this new musical. Click for tickets!
