Posted: 4/14/06 at 9:34pmI knew this couldn't be true. But, I still would have liked to seen Mambo Kings.

Posted: 4/15/06 at 10:37amNot only is Mambo Kings taking over the theater with performances starting May 12, 2006, but the show will then somehow alter the fabric of space and time for an Aug. 18, 2005 opening.

Posted: 4/15/06 at 4:16pmIt's easy for them to make the mistake: they're human. Contrary to popular belief, Playbill.com is not run by cyborgs. (I don't know what I mean by that)

Holy cow! I was about to scream "Thank God!" But, I guess not.... What a huge mistake! What happened to editing writing?

Posted: 4/15/06 at 8:26pmAs bad as "The Mambo Kings" was, it was better than "Lestat"! At least it had interesting sets and lighting. It didn't have a very good score, though, and that is deadly for a musical.
