Each season of Broadway brings about a slate of unexpected performances and plenty of unforgettable moments. While the 2016-2017 season didn’t see any new show rise to Hamilton-like popularity -- it’s hard for any TV show, film or stage production to reach that level of pop culture zeitgeist -- there are plenty of standout showcases of what fans have come to know and love about the New York City theater scene.
Perhaps the biggest breakout of the season is Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812, the musical adaptation of a section from Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace that earned 12 Tony Award nominations, including nods for Best Musical as well as for its cast (Josh Groban, UnREAL breakout Denée Benton and Lucas Steele). “I always dreamed of playing roles like Natasha,” says Benton, a recent graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, who plays the titular hopelessly romantic ingénue.
It certainly is the only show to exhibit...

The super team of Ashutosh Gowariker, A.R. Rahman and Javed Akhtar are back together after a hiatus with Hrithik Roshan in another period film, Mohenjo Daro. We are to be taken back to a time “before India was what it became” in which the vivid tunes of Rahman combined with the beautiful lyrics of Javed Akthar come together to give the viewer the experience of life in pre-India. Let’s see if the team that gave all the wonderful songs from Jodhaa Akbar meets up to their own set standards.
We begin our musical journey the title track Mohenjo Mohenjo with a rustic African drum feel to it. In some ways, we get an expected style of percussion and tuning for a title track. But neither does this take away the grandiose charm nor does it stand out above all others. One does notice the percussion is quite heavy, unlike ARRs previous magnum opus musicals.
