Kristen Alderson, One Life to Live, General Hospital, #GH, GH ABC, #OneLifetoLive

Soap alum Kristen Alderson (“General Hospital,” “One Life to Live”) is heading to Las Vegas for a limited three-week engagement in “NEWSical The Musical,” the fifth longest-running musical in Off-Broadway history and the winner of the Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Musical.

Beginning Friday, April 1 and running through Sunday, April 24, Alderson will play opposite real-life boyfriend Taylor Crousore (“A Musical About Star Wars”), “NEWSical” original cast member Michael West (“Forbidden Broadway,” “Forbidden Vegas,” “When Pigs Fly”), and Carly Sakolove (“Mamma Mia,” “The Book of Merman”).

“NEWSical The Musical” is an up-to-the-minute musical mockery of all the news that’s fit to spoof while tackling everything from the highest office in the land to the lowest depths of internet conspiracies…including Britney Spears’ and Adele’s Vegas residencies. The show changes weekly as it lampoons current events, politics, entertainment, influencers, TikTok crazes and everything in between. Audiences can expect more than a few jabs at the headliners, politicians and local news stories from Sin City because what happens in Vegas, ends up on the “NEWSical” stage.

“NEWSical The Musical”

The 75-minute comedy show features original music, celebrity impressions, parodies, sketches and non-stop laughs. A key component to the success of the show has been its ability to intertwine the latest breaking news from the day into the production at the drop of a dime.

Tickets are $40. All performances begin at 8:00 p.m. PT. The show runs on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays beginning April 1 through April 24.

“NEWSical The Musical” is produced by Tom D’Angora (“Naked Boys Singing”). Rick Crom is the creator and writer while Mark Waldrop (“When Pigs Fly,” “My Deah”) serves as the show’s director. Musical direction is by Ed Goldschneider. 

The musical has been nominated for nine Drama Desk Awards (including Best Musical Revue and Best Lyrics), receiving Mayoral and Senate Proclamations and recognition by national press organizations for its unprecedented string of celebrity guest stars which have included the likes of LaToya Jackson, Perez Hilton, Carson Kressley, Jackée Harry (“Days of our Lives”), Cheri Oteri, Kandy Burruss, and more.

      This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

      Newsom is a craven opportunist, but his comments today were exactly how better people need to handle Trump.
