Now that the Edies are gone...

...not to mention several other beloved plays...

What are the shows that you're excited about? The ones that will keep Broadway alive? The ones to challenge us, entertain us, and inspire us?

When the Lord closes a show... SOMEWHERE he opens a window, right?

I'm very excited for "A Catered Affair". The cast they have lined up is amazing, and Harvey is returning to Broadway!

Top 4:
Young Frankenstein, Little Mermaid, Mauritius, Pygmaleon

And there are a few rumors I've heard that I'm very excited about...but they probably won't pan out, so they're not worth mentioning.

I've seen most of the shows playing right now. I am seeing The Year of Magical Thinking this weekend. Which I am excited about. But I'm not that interested in many of the shows coming up next, except for Sunday in the Park With George, as I have never seen it before.

Sunday in the Park with George! I cannot wait. Also, Catered Affair and 9 to 5.

I am definitely looking forward to A CATERED AFFAIR and SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE. I am also pretty excited about THE LITTLE MERMAID. I think it's going to be legitimate theatre. I think it was a challenging piece to adapt (like LION KING), and I think it they did it right (which, from what I have read, they seem to have done), it's going to be a spectacular theatrical event.

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN looks fun too, but I just hope Mel Brooks isn't writing the same boring songs he wrote for THE PRODUCERS.

I have high hopes for "The Farnsworth Invention." Not only am I quite familiar with the history behind it -- hooray for my RTV specialty in undergrad! -- but also think Jimmi Simpson is a fabulous yet horrifically underused actor.

I'm pretty much listening to different versions of Gypsy nonstop until SitP gets here.

Sunday in the Park With George, The Homecoming, A Catered Affair... and CABARET!!

Is Cabaret definitely happening? I haven't heard news in AGES.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 7/31/07 at 11:20am

I don't even know anymore. I mean, I THINK so. I'm going to tell myself it is.

A Catered Affair, Sunday in the Park with George, Mauritius (I loves me some Bobby Cannavale), Pygmalion. Oh, and West Side Story, if anything ever materializes with that / whatever season it gets put up.

If Cabaret is happening, it must not be in Studio 54 tho, cause that's where Sunday,...George is going. hmmm, where will it go?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 7/31/07 at 11:43am

Regardless, it's not supposed to be until AFTER Sunday.

[WaltSummersPI]

Posted: 7/31/07 at 11:44am

Benanti should try Sally Bowles. This is a good idea.

[BrianIdol]

Posted: 7/31/07 at 11:51am

Isnt' Sunday gonna be an open-ended run?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 7/31/07 at 11:53am

No. Roundabout runs are (I believe) always limited. Cabaret was an exception.

Posted: 7/31/07 at 11:55am

Definitely A Catered Affair. It sounds completely amazing and I adore every person involved!

Pygmalion and The Little Mermaid. I haven't made up my mind about Young Frankenstein yet. I'll probably see it, but I'm not falling all over myself to get tickets.

Beyond that...I really don't know.

Cabaret is happening in the fall of 2008, with Alan Cumming reprising his role as the Emcee

And yes, it will be at Studio 54 Updated On: 7/31/07 at 12:12 PM

(Nothing against AC, I just... he just did this.)

Also VERY MUCH looking forward to The Baker's Wife in October.
