Standing alongside the stage company’s interpretations of Bowie’s work, his tracks “No Plan,” “Killing A Little Time” and “When I Met You” will bring new dimensions to their cast counterparts. The record will drop on October 21; a London production of the tuner is scheduled to officially open on November 8 the King Cross Theatre, once again led by Hall.

Family Ties Stage Adaptation in the Works
Classic TV show Family Ties is heading to the stage, courtesy of The Araca Group. Adapted by playwright Daniel Goldstein, the show is set to debut in in June 2017 at the Human Race Theatre in Dayton, in homage to the series’ original Ohio setting. The production will be a non-musical play and will draw from the entire series arc of the original program. Casting will be announced later.
