In this season of flashy footwear (Cinderella; Kinky Boots), superstar clout (Tom Hanks, David Hyde Pierce, Sigourney Weaver, et al.), and tour de force performances (Holland Taylor, Bette Midler (pictured), Fiona Shaw, and Alan Cumming), the pressure is on to pick wisely from a blitzkrieg of options.

A Freak Like Me: Robert Cuccioli’s Sinister Return to Broadway in Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark
Going from heroic luminary to blood-curdling arch nemesis is a rapid character arc requiring both serious acting chops and playful flexibility -- no easy feat, to be sure, but Robert Cuccioli of Jekyll & Hyde fame is more than up to the challenge as he brings his talents (of questionably mutant proportions -- yep, he’s that good) to his dual role of Dr. Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin in the Broadway mega-hit Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.

Drood Dude: Will Chase's Au Courant Broadway Venture
As you sink into your seat at Studio 54, you might want to grasp the armrests firmly because you’re about to tumble down Rupert Holmes’ musical rabbit hole, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, full-throttle. It’s a journey riddled with mystery, scandal, bewildering hobnobbing, and meaty amounts of metatheatre that pushes theatrical convention over the edge.
