The Pantages Theatre presents My Brother Marvin, a play based on the first-hand accounts of Marvin Gaye's family members. It is the most candid story of life with this musical icon that has ever been told, portraying Gaye's internal battles, greatest fears and juiciest family secrets. This is not a juke box musical -- this play highlights not the music, but the mind of Marvin Gaye, revealing secrets from his mother's innermost thoughts that have never been voiced before. Mrs. Gaye's hidden journals were recently discovered, containing candid discussion about her husband, her family and of course her superstar son. My Brother Marvin stars Emmy-winning actress Lynn Whitfield (The Josephine Baker Story), Image Award-winning actor Clifton Powell (Ray), R&B sensation Keith Washington ("Kissing You") and popular leading man Tony Grant (Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married, Love Ain't Supposed To Hurt and The Marriage Counselor). My Brother Marvin is a riveting ride through the life and times of one of the most intriguing and mysterious musical legends the world has ever known. Learn More

Description
The Los Angeles company of Wicked, Broadway's biggest blockbuster, is now in its second year at the Pantages Theatre.
Wicked tells the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. Wicked tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.
Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman. It is directed by Joe Mantello, with musical staging by Wayne Cilento. Wicked is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.
Wicked was developed, written and had its earliest readings and workshops in Los Angeles. It is now truly a worldwide phenomenon with four companies in North America - Broadway, Chicago, on national tour, and Los Angeles, as well as productions in London, Tokyo, and Stuttgart, and a fourth international production opening next summer in Melbourne. The Grammy Award-winning (Best Musical Show Album) original cast recording of Wicked has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for sales of more than one million copies.
