Ethan Shanfeld For nearly three decades, Spoon has been quietly building one of modern rock’s most robust discographies. Over the years the Austin outfit, founded by frontman Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno, has put out multiple alternative hits, including “Inside Out,” “Sister Jack,” “The Underdog” and “Do You,” and scored a handful of Top 5 albums on the Billboard rock charts. Released in February, the band’s first studio album in five years, “Lucifer on the Sofa,” seems a solid Grammy contender in the alternative and rock categories. Coming off a North American tour and ahead of the release of companion remix album “Lucifer on the Moon” (featuring “Sofa” songs reworked by Adrian Sherwood), Daniel spoke with Variety about the state of rock in 2022, the problems with touring during COVID and why he mourns the golden age of radio.
‘Beetlejuice’ Closing on Broadway in January
21.09.2022 - 00:27 / variety.com
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Beetlejuice” is closing on Broadway in January, ending its unconventional, fan-fueled run on the Great White Way. It will play its final show at the Marquis Theater on Jan. 8, 2023. But fear not, fans of the afterlife — the stage-version of Tim Burton’s 1988 film about a pesky poltergeist isn’t going away entirely. After the curtain comes down on Broadway, “Beetlejuice” is embarking on a 26-city national tour, beginning on Dec. 6 in San Francisco. It’s the latest in a long line of recent Broadway closures, including “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Dear Evan Hansen” and “Come From Away.”
“Beetlejuice” opened in 2019 to mixed reviews and weak ticket sales. But the musical became a viral hit among younger audiences on social media, fueling attendance and boosting box office returns in the process. “Beetlejuice” producers capitalized on the digital fervor through contests and promotional efforts on Facebook and Instagram, especially during the spooky month of October.
“Beetlejuice” was presumed to be leaving Broadway in June of 2021, when “The Music Man,” starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, set up shop at the Winter Garden Theater. But thanks to fan enthusiasm, the show’s backers were able to revive the show in a different venue. In early 2022, “Beetlejuice” found a new home, at the Marquis Theater, a venue big enough to house the elaborate set designs and fancy pyrotechnics necessary to recreate the night of the living dead. When “Beetlejuice” makes its final Broadway bow, it will have played 27 previews and 366 regular performances at the Winter Garden Theatre and 313 regular performances at the Marquis Theater, for a total of 679 shows.
