You don't need to travel into the city to see a great show, and if you do decide to hit the Big Apple, there's a New Jersey native you may want to see.

One of theater’s biggest stars Nathan Lane is back on Broadway in a new play.

Lane is starring in "Pictures From Home" alongside Danny Burstein and Zoe Wanamaker. It opens Thursday night.

The play is a family portrait that ultimately exposes difficulties with those relationships. The play is based on the photo memoir of the same title by Larry Sultan.

Lane grew up in Jersey City and graduated from Saint Peter's Prep.

The Broadway musical inspired by the life of Neil Diamond that opened late last year is extending ticket sales into next year.

Producers of "A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical" announced tickets are on sale through January 2024.

The show takes the audience through Diamond's life woven through his biggest hits - from his early career as a songwriter in Brooklyn to his rise to superstardom and challenges faced along the way.

If the classics are more to your liking, the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey announced its season of plays beginning in May. Besides Shakespeare, the theater will produce plays by Tennessee Williams, Samuel Beckett and other iconic works.
