The producers of the musical “Almost Famous,” which made its world premiere in fall 2019 at the Old Globe in San Diego, have announced that the show will make its Broadway premiere later this year.
The musical features a score Tom Kitt , and it was directed at the Old Globe by Jeremy Herrin. The musical had been poised for a much earlier berth on Broadway, but the pandemic delayed producers’ plans.The Old Globe has opened single-ticket sales for its summer engagement of “Freestyle Love Supreme,” the Manhattan-born improvisational hip-hop stage show that is now on national tour. It plays at the Old Globe from June 21 through July 10.
Among the winning Opera Hack proposals that are now under development are an OperaMap, which will be a shared online database of theater interiors, stages and backstage areas mapped with 360-degree “protogrammetry” that opera companies can use to see how scenery will work in their theaters, and “Becoming,” a concept where virtual and augmented reality technology can be used to put the viewer inside a sonic world where they can both see and feel the environment and voices of opera singers.
