EXCLUSIVE: When the announcement was made in January that Emma Donoghue had developed a play (with music) of her bestselling novel Room and the acclaimed film that followed – and that the play was heading to Broadway – plenty of New Yorkers were filled with questions (Londoners and Canadians had already seen the show). Some of the answers might be addressed in a new trailer and first-look photo provided exclusively to Deadline. How can a stage play (with music) adapt a tale of such a troubled, harrowing story of domestic abuse, with its downbeat claustrophobia and mental cruelty, translate to a theater district more welcoming to The Music Mans and Funny Girls of the world. With the exclusive release to Deadline today of the production’s first trailer and key art, the questioners might get some hints, like the reminder that there are heavy doses of inspiration, hope and love that breathe air into Room .

The words also came as the stage of the arena was filled with people representing the groups that the court blunted immigration policies of the former Celebrity Apprentice host seemingly aimed to block from coming to America. “I’m not digging the political climate right now, said long time ATCQ collaborator Busta Rhymes about a third of the way through the band’s performance. “I just wanna thank President Agent Orange for … [Read more...] about Grammys Slam Donald Trump & “Unsuccessful Muslim Ban” In Tribe Called Quest Performance

Concert film BTS: Yet To Come hit no. 5 at the North American Box office this weekend with $5.1 million on 1,100+ screens, for a cume topping $7.8 million from the first showing Feb. 1.
