Celebrating its 66th year, Theatre World remains the definitive annual record of the American theatre season-the most complete record of the Broadway, Off-Broadway, Off-Off-Broadway, and regional theatre scene. The 2009-2010 season found big-screen stars continuing their trend of taking to the stage, with Alfred Molina in Red and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the Menier Chocolate Factory production of Stephen Sondheim's A little Night Music lighting up Broadway, while Cate Blanchett wowed all at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. Donald Margulies' Time Stands Still with Laura Linney and David Mamet's Race with James Spader led the season of new Broadway plays, while Annie Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation and Horton Foote's magnum opus The Orphans' Home Cycle debuted to raves Off-Broadway. London's Menier Chocolate Factory also brought to stateside a stunning revival of La Cage aux Folles. Fela'-based on the life of African-American composer Fela Anikulapo Kuti-was a musical sensation, and Dreamgirls had another noteworthy revival at the Apollo Theatre that went on to a successful national tour. Reginnally, Hughie and Krapp's Last Tape, starring Brian Dennehy at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, and American Idiot, the Green Day musical, at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, were among the hits of the regional scene.<BR><BR>As always, Theatre World's outstanding features include.<BR><BR>-An expanded section of professional regional productions from across the U.S.<BR><BR>-A listing of the longest-running Broadway and Off-Bread way shows<BR><BR>-Full coverage of the Theatre World Awards for Broadway and Off-Broadway debuts<BR><BR>-Expanded obituaries and a comprehensive index
