The Broadway show Almost Famous has teamed up with legendary rock photographer Neal Preston to shoot exclusive photos that will be featured in the upcoming production!

Cameron Crowe, who wrote the book and co-lyrics for the musical, also wrote and directed the movie of the same name. The story is semi-autobiographical and is based on his days as a teenage writer for Rolling Stone.

When Crowe was just shy of 15-years-old, he met 20-year-old Preston at the San Diego Sports Arena and they became lifelong friends. 50 years later, they’re teaming up for this new project!

We have some behind-the-scenes photos from Julieta Cervantes, who captured the photo shoot that Neal and Cameron held with the actors. Cast members featured in the photos include Chris Wood, Drew Gehling, Matt Bittner, and Brandon Contreras.

“Almost Famous is as close to being in a time machine and getting transported to 1973 as you’ll ever get,” Neal remarked on set.

Cameron said, “Those Neal Preston images we all know, the ones that have made rock history, exist because he’s a fan. Even the artists know it. You can see it in the way they regard his camera. Neal shares his photographic front-row seat with everybody who loves music and feels the same passion as he does. It’s a rare and colorful thing to work alongside him. Many of the stories told in Almost Famous came directly from our assignments.”

Almost Famous begins preview performances at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on October 3 ahead of an official opening night performance on November 3. Tickets are on sale now!

The musical version of the beloved movie Almost Famous is coming to Broadway this fall and rehearsals have officially begun!

Chris Wood and Solea Pfeiffer are starring in the musical as Russell Hammond and Penny Lane, the roles originated by Billy Crudup and Kate Hudson.

The musical will also star Casey Likes as William Miller, Anika Larsen as Elaine Miller, Drew Gehling as Jeff Bebe, and Rob Colletti as Lester Bangs.

Cameron Crowe, who wrote and directed the movie, wrote the book and lyrics for the musical. Tony, Grammy, and Emmy winner Tom Kitt wrote the music and co-wrote the lyrics.

Here is the synopsis: “The year is 1973 and it’s all happening. Led Zeppelin is king, Richard Nixon is President, and idealistic 15-year-old William Miller is an aspiring music journalist. When Rolling Stone magazine hires him to go on the road with an up-and-coming band, William is thrust into the rock-and-roll circus, where his love of music, his longing for friendship, and his integrity as a writer collide. Almost Famous is a spirited tale of fandom, family, and the unforgettable characters you’ll meet along the way. Turn it up!”

Melissa Benoist is love being a new momma!

The 32-year-old Supergirl actress spoke about her newborn son, Huxley Wood, in a brand new interview.

“Oh, man, he’s the best,” Melissa gushed about her son during an Instagram Live video with Congresswoman Karen Bass. “I am loving being a parent. I love being a mom. He’s such a sweetheart.”

She added that Huxley is already “so big and every day I’m, like, crying because he’s gained half an ounce.”

Melissa also opened up about the plans for Huxley‘s first holiday – Halloween.

“We’ll probably watch movies…It’s a bummer we’re not gonna get any trick-or-treaters [amid the coronavirus pandemic], but it’s for a good reason,” she shared.

Melissa and husband Chris Wood welcomed Huxley in last month, and waited a few weeks to announce his arrival.

“Huxley Robert Wood got here a few weeks ago ♥️ and this little boy is everything,” she wrote.
