Why are the only "shows" you are looking to see Broadway musicals? You could see plays such as VENUS IN FUR, CHINGLISH, MAN AND BOY,SEMINAR, PRIVATE LIVES and THE MOUNTAINTOP on Broadway. Off Broadway, MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD is well worth seeing. Although I have not seen these yet, WE LIVE HERE (Manhattan Theatre Club:, BLUE FLOWER (a musical at Second Stage) and THE ATMOSPHERE OF MEMORY (LaByrinth, starring Ellen Burstyn all look very promising. Think outside the box!

Who knew that "Phantom," a musical by Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit, has run 25 years on Broadway? Oh - you probably mean "The Phantom of the Opera," running at the Majestic Theatre.

This is not a "world premiere." I think it was produced regionally last season. Anyway, it is actually a revised version of a play presented as few years ago under the title THE BUTTERFLY COLLECTION.

I saw WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN and thought it was brilliant. It did not deserve the bitchfest it received.

Why was the 1992 GUYS AND DOLLS so damn good? May 15
2011, 01:24:31 PM
It was so good because Jerry Zaks directed it. And by the way, the last revival was much better than the reviews indicated.

In a West End theatre, you can order a drink at the bar before the show and it will be waiting for you at the interval. Also, they sell ice cream in the aisles during the interval.

MOUNTAINTOP is a monodrama about Martin Luther King, performed by Laurence Fishburne. DETROIT is a drama by Lisa D'Amour. It was at Steppenwolf, where it was praised by Charles Isherwood -- so that's why it's coming to Broadway (the NY Times is already on record as liking it). Austin Pendelton's the director.

Musicals that high schools have never done before? May 8
2011, 09:38:06 AM
The mistake you are making is to assume that there is some rule that high schools can only do musicals which have been done on Broadway. A progressive high school, one whose administration is not troubled by gay subject matter, might like to do ZANNA DON'T, for instance.
