Fall Season on Broadway

The fall season is about to begin on Broadway and there will be debuts, returns and continuations of the best stage productions in the world.

Premiering on stage this autumn will be the Bob Dylan inspired The Times They Are A-Changin' and the documentary-turned-play Grey Gardens. The classic musical Les Miserables will be returning to Broadway for a six-month encore at the end of October after ending its run in 2003. Successful productions continuing through the season include The Producers and Jersey Boys.

CMA Nominees

The nominees for the CMA Awards have been announced and it appears that two of country music's hottest acts will be stealing the show.

With six nods each, Brooks & Dunn tied with Brad Paisley for the most nominations when the announcement was given live on Good Morning America yesterday. Close behind are Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood who received four nominations each. Winners will be announced at the awards on November 6 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Bell Canadian Open

The PGA Tour will be making its next stop in Hamilton, Ontario, as the Bell Canadian Open gets ready for tee off next week.

The prestigious tournament will begin play on Monday, September 4 and continue for one week at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club. This week, PGA players are in Boston for the Deutsche Bank Championship, which is currently underway. In mid-September, play will move to Ireland for the Ryder Cup where PGA of America and the PGA European Tour will meet for competition.

Grey Gardens

Casting for Broadway's latest musical, Grey Gardens, has been announced and rehearsals are underway.

Grey Gardens will begin previews at the Walter Kerr Theatre on October 3 in preparation for the official November 2 opening of the production. The musical is directed by Broadway veteran Michael Greif, who has worked on many productions in his career, including Rent. The Grey Gardens cast will also feature newcomer Erin Davie, who recently appeared in the touring production of Wicked.

Dylan Tour

Bob Dylan's newly announced fall tour will feature a slew of young rockers as opening acts as he travels across the continent.

The legendary singer-songwriter will launch the tour on October 11 in Vancouver with Kings of Leon in the supporting slot. An acoustic version of the Foo Fighters will replace Kings of Leon in the opening gig after a two-night visit to Chicago in late October. The set will change again in early November as The Raconteurs step up to take over supporting duties.
