Rocky musical headed to Broadway
Having been a knockout in Germany following a successful debut in Hamburg, the musical based upon Sylvester Stallone’s beloved Oscar-winning boxing film/love story Rocky will come to the Winter Garden, New York, in February 2014. Stallone, who wrote the Rocky films and played its boxing star, created the musical in 2011 with Ukranian boxers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko. It opened in Hamburg, Germany, last November as Rocky: Das Musical to excellent reviews, which has encouraged the producers to open the musical at New York’s Winter Garden theatre early next year.
