Best of Broadway announces full lineup

Now, we know what will follow “Jersey Boys.” West Coast Entertainment on Monday announced the rest its lineup for the 2012-13 Best of Broadway series. A three week-run in October for the Tony-winning smash “Jersey Boys” was announced earlier this year. “Rock of Ages,” a 2009 Tony nominee built around ’80s rock songs by the likes of Journey, Night Ranger and Pat Benatar, will come to the INB Performing Arts Center Feb. 7-10. “War Horse,” the Tony-winning hit featuring phenomenal puppetry from Handspring Puppet Co., will run March 5-10. “Flashdance,” based on the popular ’80s movie, will run April 11-14, 2013 – mere months after it opens on Broadway this fall. The season will end May 21-24, 2013 with a production of the classic “West Side Story.” West Coast also announced three one-night only shows: “Rain,” a tribute to the Beatles in January, the return of the popular New Shanghai Circus on Feb. 1, and “Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance” on April 6. Tickets go on sale to the public through TicketsWest outlets on June 22.
