The Charlie Chaplin musical "Chaplin" is slated to make its Broadway debut on September 10 at the Barrymore Theatre, but critics fear that a lack of well-known actors may hurt the production when it comes to drawing large audiences.

The production ran in 2010 at San Diego's La Jolla Playhouse under the name "Limelight: The Story of Charlie Chaplin" and received mixed reviews; however, the show earned the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle's Craig Noel Award for Best Musical, according to Entertainment Weekly. The musical, which chronicles the story of silent film icon Charlie Chaplin as he moved from London to become a Hollywood film star, will begin previews on August 21 according to The New York Times.

PRESS RELEASE: "The Broadway League Presents 2012 League Awards at Annual Spring Road Conference to: Tom Gabbard, Wayne McWorter, Judith Lisi, Meredith Blair, American Express, Fifth Third Bank, Michael C. Steindorf, The Max 102.3 Louisville KY"

(New York, NY) May 15, 2012 — The honorees of the Broadway League Awards, honoring excellence and achievement for Touring Broadway, were announced today during the Broadway League's 2012 Spring Road Conference. First presented in 1992, the Broadway League Awards recognize the contributions of those who have displayed exemplary service to the Broadway industry and are considered innovators of their craft.

"In the golden age of Hollywood cinema, actors may have all the glory, but studio execs have all the power," (Playbill.com). In spring 2013, another revival is making its way to Broadway. This time, "The Big Knife" will be taking the stage. The show, by Clifford Odets, premiered on Broadway in 1949, directed by Lee Strasberg, and it is about time for its revival.

This production, the very first revival of the show, will be put on by the Roundabout Theatre Company, and will star Tony nominee and Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale as Charlie Castle. "I think he's one of those modern actors who you can really imagine fitting right into the 1940s," Todd Haimes, artistic director of the Roundabout, told Playbill.com. "There's something wonderfully old-school about him, and I'm so happy that we'll get to see Bobby take on a great role like Charlie Castle."

On May 1, Tony Award-winner Kristen Chenoweth and Emmy Award-winner Jim Parsons revealed this year's Tony Award nominees while actors and theatre-lovers waited with baited breath.

Earning its spot as frontrunner for this year's Tony Awards with a total of 11 nominations is Broadway's "Once." The show has not only received the most nominations this year for a variety of categories, but has also increased its box office ticket sales by almost $100,000 since the nominations were announced, according to the Los Angeles Times. The show, based on the 2006 indie film, is seeing an increase of faithful fans wanting to experience all the shows before the results come out.
