The coming of Spring always brings warmer weather, flowers, and the race to the Tony Awards. For 2013, the onslaught of new shows and revivals hitting the boards of Broadway will be intense. Below are the shows opening on Broadway in March of the 2012-2013 professional theatre season.
The Broadway premiere of one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's favorite shows is the talk of the town for the 2012-2013 season. Cinderella has been an audience favorite since it aired on television, starring musical legend Julie Andrews. The show has toured around the world for decades, but has never been on Broadway -- until now. Starring Laura Osnes of Bonnie and Clyde and Grease! in the title role, Cinderella is a fully produced musical spectacle safe for the whole family, now showing at the Broadway Theatre.

Emmy Award-winning actress Holland Taylor brings her one-woman show from a sold-out run around the United States to the glittering lights of Broadway. Ann began as Taylor's attempt to understand the feisty, unapologetic former governor of Texas, Ann Richards. Taylor performed the show in workshops until it was picked up for an official stage production. Ann thrilled audiences during its run at Lincoln Center and will play on Broadway at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre.
After a sold-out run at Lincoln Center, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is making the move to Broadway. The 16-week strictly limited run features the entire original Off-Broadway cast, including Genevieve Angelson, Shalita Grant, Billy Magnussen, Kristine Nielsen, Emmy Award winning and Tony Award-winning actor David Hyde Pierce, and Sigourney Weaver. Based on themes of Chekov, Christopher Durang has scripted a comedic farce du force in this hilarious tale of the human condition. Opening night is set March 14, 2013, at Broadway’s Golden Theatre.
Acclaimed, award-winning writer Truman Capote is represented on Broadway this season with his timeless classic novella, Breakfast at Tiffany's, making its Broadway premiere. In the famous film version of the story, "Holly Golightly" was played by screen icon Audrey Hepburn. Stepping into those hard to fill designer shoes is "Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke. Cory Michael Smith plays "Fred," and playing "Joe Bell" is six-time Emmy Award-nominee George Wendt of television's "Cheers." Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's official Opening night scheduled for March 20, 2013, at the Cort Theatre located at 138 West 48th Street.

Another larger-than-life tale from the bowels of Texas, the new Broadway musical Hands on a Hardbody explores the lengths to which some people will go to win a silly competition with a super grand prize. Based on a true story, Hands on a Hardbody is a new musical by Pulitzer Prize winner Doug Wright, Amanda Green, and Trey Anastasio, about a contest in which whoever keeps their hand on a shiny new truck the longest, wins the truck. Starring Tony Award nominee Keith Carradine, Allison Case, and Hunter Foster, this production wowed audiences at La Jolla Playhouse on the West Coast, which inspired the transfer to Broadway.
