Monday shows?
Jun 27

So I looked up shows that are playing on Monday nights on Broadway... only a handful - any good suggestions? and does anyone know if TKTS has a lot of availability of tickets on Mondays? because I'd rather get cheap tickets

'9 to 5' --> From Movie to musical?
Jun 27
2007, 12:58:47 AM
I saw in Marc Kudisch's dressing room a script for a musical version of the film '9 to 5', with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. He's in 'Witches of Eastwick' right now, where I work, and he leaves once in a while to do readings for producers (trying to get someone to pick up the show)
Anyone heard anything else about this new show? any thoughts?

yeah, I think the main problem is the overall plot - like the scenes don't really flow together and aren't developed enough in the right places (thus making the characters rather one dimensional)
If they could just rewrite the book, I think this show has a great chance of going to Broadway.

I heard the actors in "Witches" say that 'Loose Ends' was cut because it kind of stopped the show (in a bad way) and didn't really add anything to it. Instead, Sukie sings a short reprise of "Words" which I believe works a lot better
Also, I heard the reason they cut most of "Eastwick Knows" was because it focused too much on the town and they wanted to bring the focus to the 3 witches... I dunno if I agree with that - I really liked "Eastwick Knows" in its original form
Also, I work bac

hey y'all!
I'm working backstage at Signature Theater and help with costumes during Witches of Eastwick
So if you have any questions about the run, I can answer  - to talk about the flying, the problem was we only had one person hooking up all three witches and she had no space to stick her hands through the couch and little time to do it
The problem is fixed - more time and more people! We opened on last Monday night and tonight (saturday night) was our Press Opening - and broadwayworld.com was there!!
The show is going great - everyone is really pumped! Please come see the show, it's great
The new dance numbers are great - Dance with the Devil is one of my favorites!!
Also, Cameron Mackintosh is producing 'Witches of Eastwick' so he is definitely trying to get this show to Broadway - let's hope he succeeds

the problem is I think everyone would expect kristin to overdo the role and make it funnier than it should be, b/c she's a comical actress.
I guess lithgow wouldn't be bad but I think his "british" accent leaves something to be desired, unless he's purposefully doing a poor accent for DRS

I also saw Sean as an understudy instead of joel and I was very impressed with his performance. he seemed more like a guy who a woman would have an affair with and if anything, joel grey might be too old to be elphaba's father... either way, sean was astoundingly awesome!
