The Coast of Utopia

Broadway welcomed a new production this week with Tom Stoppard's three-part play, The Coast of Utopia, beginning on Monday.

The first part of the play, Voyage, opened on November 27 at the Lincoln Center. Voyage takes place in Moscow beginning in 1833 while the other two parts, Shipwreck and Salvage, see the main characters move throughout Europe until the play's close in 1866. The production is directed by Jack O'Brien, who is known for his work in Hairspray, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Times They Are A-Changin'.

Il Divo World Tour

Il Divo are taking the music industry by storm releasing three albums before launching a world tour in the New Year.

The operatic quartet released their album Siempre yesterday and will follow with two more albums before embarking on their world tour. The tour will begin on January 16 in Malaysia and visit countries including Canada, Australia and the UK before the finale on May 29 in England. Il Divo toured extensively in 2006 appearing at the FIFA World Cup with Toni Braxton as well as supporting Barbra Streisand on her tour.

Wright vs. Quartey

Boxing fans will have a chance to see middleweight champions, Winky Wright and Ike Quartey, face off this weekend.

The highly anticipated bout will take place in Tampa, Florida, Wright's home ground, this Saturday December 2. The match is crucial to both boxers as each is coming back from a loss. Quartey was defeated in his last fight against Vernon Forrest in August. Wright is also bouncing back after judges decided against him when he faced Jermain Taylor in the summer. If Wright wins, he may challenge Taylor to a rematch.

Les Miserables

The epic musical Les Miserables has returned to Broadway for a limited engagement that has the crowds raving.

This latest production opened at the Broadhurst Theatre earlier this month and will remain for a limited six-month run. Les Miserables originally ran on Broadway from 1987 until 2003. The current production features Alexander Gemignani, a seasoned actor who appeared in Sweeney Todd, as ex-convict Jean Valjean and Norm Lewis, recently seen in Chicago, as his persistent adversary Javert.
