Last week, we opened the Ogunquit Playhouse at The Music Hall’s production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the Broadway musical, and let me tell you, it’s a phenomenal show. Each day, hundreds and hundreds of families came to the Historic Theater, creating memories that will last for a lifetime. The lobby is full of little girls dressed in their very best dresses and little boys in ties and dress pants posing for pictures and wiggling with excitement to see the show. It might be the most adorable thing that we see each year. Read More

Zero.Read More

Bringing the experience of Broadway to the Seacoast during the holidays is a cornerstone of The Ogunquit Playhouse at The Music Hall series. For the second year in a row, we’re so pleased to have Presenting Series Sponsor C&J Bus Lines as a valued partner in this effort. This week we launched Disney’s Beauty and the Beast – our 2016 holiday production – and I had an opportunity to ask C&J President Jim Jalbert a few questions about what he’s looking forward to from this show, what were his favorite memories from last year, and why supporting the arts is an important part of C&J’s business.Read More

The set, the costumes, the actors, it’s all just spectacular. Read More

With the annoying speed bump of Thanksgiving out of the way, the Great Christmas Marketing Juggernaut can now put the accelerator to the floor. It’s all merchandising, all the time until New Year’s Eve, when we can look forward to the marketing onslaught grinding to a temporary halt. We will get about three days, max, to enjoy the silence before Valentine’s Day merchandise starts to show up in stores. And January will bring our credit card bills, too.Read More
