Dynasty Limousine’s 2017 Broadway Roundup

The 2017 Tony Award nominees were announced yesterday during a live webcast from The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. Which nominee for Best Musical do you think is the front-runner? Read on for a full list of nominees:

• “Come From Away”: “Come From Away” details the selfless hospitality provided by the residents of Newfoundland, Canada, following the morning of September 11, 2001. Residents provided asylum to 6,700 passengers whose flights were diverted in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks on New York City. This musical is free of political satire and reminds the audience of a time when the nation stood united as one. A welcome sentiment in today’s harsh political climate.

• “Dear Evan Hansen”: Are you a fan of the Netflix Original, 13 Reasons Why? Then you’re sure to be mesmerized by “Dear Evan Hansen.” This angsty musical follows the lives of high school students dealing with the death of their classmate — a boy who was considered to be the “class freak.” The beautiful songs touch on loss, grief, self-delusion, and finding your tribe among other things.

• “Groundhog Day”: Bill Murray must be so proud! “Groundhog Day” is a musical adaptation of the 1993 film of the same name. Irritable city weatherman Phil Conners is stuck in small-town America, forced to relive the same monotonous day, over and over again —  until he meets Rita Hanson!

• “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812”: Josh Groban? Yes, please! Also known simply as “Great Comet,” this musical starring the multi-platinum recording artist as Pierre, has received high praise. A beautiful young woman, Natasha, finds herself in a compromising situation with a man who is not her fiancé — then she meets Pierre. A man full of love and compassion for her.

Looking to see a Broadway show, without breaking the bank? You’re in luck -- tomorrow begins NYC Broadway Week where attendees can score 2-for-1 tickets to some of Broadway’s top productions (sadly, Hamilton isn’t included).

With performances only through February 5th, tickets are selling fast! See below for some can’t miss shows on the Great White Way!

Wicked - The untold true story of the Witches of Oz is offering 2-for-1 tickets and seat upgrades! If you haven’t seen this long running hit show yet, now’s your chance! Find out why The New York Times calls this musical “Broadway’s biggest blockbuster.”
Appropriate for all ages.

Waitress - Inspired by Adrienne Shell’s beloved film and sung to the tune of 6-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles, this performance is a little “slice” of heaven. An uplifting and entertaining musical celebrating friendship, motherhood, and of course -- a good pie. Don’t skip on the mini-pies for purchase, trust us!
Appropriate for teens and adults.

The Front Page - Jack O’Brien’s revival of a 1928 satire of newspaper reporters features a truly stellar cast -- Nathan Lane, John Slattery, John Goodman -- and has been reviewed as “a summit of American screwball comedy” according to Time Out New York.
Appropriate for ages 12+ - children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theater.

School of Rock - Based on the famous Paramount film starring Jack Black, School of Rock the Musical follows Dewey Finn -- a wannabe rock star who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school (who decides to tweak its curriculum). May the spirit of the rock be with you!
Appropriate for all ages.

The planning doesn't stop once you've chosen which show you'll attend. Next, it's time to take care of transportation! Taking a crowded train into Penn Station is less than ideal. Navigating through the city by car can also be stressful with limited parking.
