It’s been 10 years since Jekyll & Hyde has been seen on Broadway, but a new production of Frank Wildhorn’s rock opera — headlined by American Idol and Rock of Ages breakout Constantine Maroulis — promises to bring the thrills when it hits the Great White Way in 2013 after a national tour launching in San Diego this October.

Pulling double vocal duty as the genial Dr. Henry Jekyll and his murderous alter ego Edward Hyde, Maroulis will share the stage with R&B superstar Deborah Cox, who plays altruistic prostitute Lucy. ”It’s going to be sexy dangerous,” says director Jeff Calhoun (Newsies). “That’s what I’m going for.” EW is excited to bring you the first look at Maroulis as Hyde and Cox as Lucy in the new production: READ FULL STORY »

Once was first, Nice Work was next, and now two more of this year’s major Tony Award nominees have announced plans to launch U.S. tours in 2013.

The Ricky Martin-led revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita will kick off its first national tour in the fall at the Providence Performing Arts Center in Providence, Rhode Island (although the inclusion of Martin on the tour is relatively unlikely). As Evita finds out what’s new with rural Rhode Island, the vivid, imaginative Peter and the Starcatcher will be set sail on its first tour at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver, Colorado in August.

Nice work, Nice Work! (I’ve been holding on to that gem for a while.) Following an announcement yesterday that Once will hit the road, producers of fellow Best Musical nominee Nice Work If You Can Get It have announced their own plans to launch a national tour in the fall of 2013.

The Kelli O’Hara/Matthew Broderick-led homage to musicals past received a whopping 10 Tony Award nominations this year, which no doubt contributed to its sizable box office bump in the week succeeding the nomination announcement.

For those keeping score of this year’s crop of Best Musical nominees, that’s two national tours, one closing notice (the Bible thumpin’ Leap of Faith) and one wild card: Disney’s Newsies, which has long been expected to announce tour plans. Given the uptick of nominee news, don’t be surprised if that headline happens sooner rather than later.

Tour dates and destinations for Nice Work have not yet been announced.
