WATCH: #StageFavesSongOfTheWeek - "Me & The Sky" from Come From Away sung by Broadway's Jenn Colella
We haven't stopped talking about COME FROM AWAY since it was announced that the show will be coming to the UK in early 2019 so it just felt right to choose a song of the week from this fab show! "Me and the Sky" tells the fantastic (and true!) tale of Beverley Bass, who led the first all-female crew in the history of commercial jet aviation. Performed here by Jenn Colella, marvel at the awesomeness of one woman, sung in the awesome voice of another...

It's #HamiltonHumpDay so it's time for your weekly slice of HAMILTON joy to get you through to the weekend.

Here come the ladies! Casting has been announced for the all-female, European Premiere of UNEXPECTED JOY! The show, about three generations of female singers, will play at the Southwark Playhouse this September and if the cast is anything to go by, it's going to be a corker!
In tough times, there's nothing like a bit of music to remind you that everything is going to be ok. The Broadway community came together to record a version of "We Are The World" to call for healing and unity in the world today and with a great message, a beautiful song and some of the best voices in the business we dare you not to get choked up!

That image of the cast high-kicking in a line has to be one of the most iconic in Musical Theatre, right? We couldn't have a Song Of The Week list without including this Marvin Hamlisch classic. SO get your sunglasses on because the amount of gold in this video is bordering on excessive! Our StageFaves Song Of The Week is "One" from A CHORUS LINE...
It's been a few weeks since the 2018 Tony Awards but new videos are still catching our eye, like this one! Hosts Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles pay homage to the hard working people on Broadway who have to survive 8 shows ever week! Even better, it's to the tune of Sia's Chandelier...
We're counting down to the world premiere of US musical comedy IT HAPPENED IN KEY WEST. Earlier this month, the stars gave a little sneak-peek at Crazy Coqs cabaret at Brasserie Zedel and we got our hands on these even sneakier videos (filmed and shared with permission, of course!). We can't wait to see all the shows sung in their full-fledged, in-situ glory once performances start at the Charing Cross Theatre on 4 July... (Psst: Have you entered our competition yet?)

Another Hamilton will be hitting the London stage this September after a run at the Edinburgh Fringe. HAMILTON (LEWIS) is the musical parody that'll have you laughing in your (driver's) seat! It tells the story of Lewis Hamilton, the most successful British F1 driver ever and it sounds hilarious...

We thought it was going to be a close race for the title of Best Musical at the 2018 Tony Awards, but it turned out to be a total roast by THE BAND'S visit, a beautiful new musical about an Egyptian band that spends the night in a sleepy Israeli town. Fall in love with the show that stole the heart of Broadway and watch these clips and interviews about the show...
This week, the utterly fantastic FUN HOME plays its first performances at the Young Vic. We've been waiting for this day since the show won big at the Tony Awards back in 2015. Our song of the week is from those awards. It's "Ring of Keys" - the moment a young Alison Bechdel sees a butch woman for the first time...

On June 10 2018 the 72nd Tony Awards kicked off with a song from co-hosts Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles. It started sweet, but hilariously took a turn for the silly as they dedicated the opening to Tony nominees past and present...who never actually won an award! Watch the full, hilarious opening here...
