The Bandstand at the Paper Mill

Broadway quality actors who also play their instruments,sing, dance, and a wonderful story.

Its only there until Nov 8th.

And you can be home in 5 minutes.

One of the best Paper Mill shows we ever saw.

Thanks for the recommendation. I was debating whether or not to go - now I will.

Going on November 1st. Sounds like an interesting show. It will be nice to see something brand new, not a revival or based on a movie.

We saw it last week. Loved it! I already adored Corey Cott in Newsies. He is equally awesome here. And Laura Osnes is incredible too. Go see it!

Just read a review via an email from Discover NJ Arts:

An excerpt that intrigued me:
For Osnes, in particular, Oberacker strongly (yet cryptically) hints
at a new threshold for the in-demand actress. “Laura is America’s
sweetheart in the theater right now. She’s Cinderella! She begins the
show with a wholesome, Judy Garland, wide-eyed sensibility, and by the
last 10 minutes of this show, you will not believe you are witnessing
what you are witnessing,” said Oberacker. “I assure you, it will change
everyone’s mind about what Laura Osnes is capable of as a mature
artist.”
The song Oberacker refers to is “The Bandstand”’s 11 o’clock number,
“Welcome Home,” which contains an unexpected twist during the musical’s
conclusion.
“It is so demanding, emotionally and vocally. I cannot wait for the world to know that she’s capable of that.”
