My new rule of thumb: If a show needs to put "the musical" after its title, I'm not seeing it no matter who wrote it or who's in it. The faux musicals, to steal a term from LaChiusa. need to go away.

Poor Finian's Rainbow.
It's not really inside info that a call has gone out. I was looking at equity auditions last week and this was listed.

"Winter's on the Wing" from Secret Garden
And I'm pretty sure it's a law that every holiday cabaret must include "Turkey Lurkey Time".

Spiderman is next season.
"Come Fly With Me" and/or "American Idiot" could both prove to be strong box office draws.

It's foolish. It's a limp show at best. To me it'd be like reviving New Faces or the Follies.

Fine, go listen to your favorite soundtracks of in-between shows.

I think its fine to put them in your own personal categories. But in terms of serious journalism, not so much.

The first few rows of the balcony are great. Anything beyond those I wouldn't do.

No, you're wrong. A hit returned its investment and a flop did not. Variety created this, not me. Even if they're a buck short of returning their investment it's still technically a flop.

" Knowing the blood, sweat and tears that goes into working on hits, flops and everything in between."
What exactly is between a hit and a flop? A flit? A hop?
You're either a hit or a flop. There's no in between.

Urinetown has had a highly successful regional life. So has Last 5 years.
I'm sure Rosie will release the Taboo rights to pay for her divorce.

I think my response was more aimed at the implication it would close on January 3rd which I think is doubtful.
