Spring Awakening Dominates Ovation Awards
Deaf West’s revival of Spring Awakening, the transfer of which is currently playing on Broadway, was honored with six trophies at the 2015 L.A. Stage Alliance Ovation Awards on November 9. Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik’s tuner picked up Best Production of a Musical (intimate theater, for when the show was at Deaf West Theatre), Best Production of a Musical (large theater, for the Wallis Annenberg Center incarnation) and Acting Ensemble of a Musical. Michael Arden, Spencer Liff and Ben Stanton also won for direction, choreography and lighting, respectively.

Ivo van Hove Thought Bowie's Approach Was a Trick
Possibly the most mysterious production to be heading for New York's boards this season is David Bowie's Lazarus. The show's director, Ivo van Hove, has been a huge fan of the enigmatic music legend for decades, so much so that when he was first approached about the project, he thought it was a prank. “I didn’t believe it,” van Hove told The New York Times. “I thought this is one of the tricks that one of my actors plays with me on my computer.” Turns out it's no joke; Michael C. Hall, Cristin Milioti, Michael Esper and more will begin performances in Lazarus on November 18 at New York Theatre Workshop off-Broadway.

Bobby Cannavale & Billy Crudup Team Up

Oh to be a fly on that wall…
