>Shows here do not hang around long<

As an east of Broadway playhouse, the Lyceum doesn't always get the choice bookings. But I Am My Own Wife had a run of about a year in there just two years ago. I seem to recall too, that I Am My Own Wife had to close a little prematurely because Whoopi Goldberg wanted the theatre for the return of her one woman show.

The Longacre, however, is like a heat seeking missile set out to destroy any show's commercial prospects.

By the way, the scaffolding that surrounded the Lyceum for more than a year has been dismantled, and the facade looks spectacular, as well as the newly restored copper detailing on the roof. It still looks like they have more cleaning to do, as the lower third of the facade has a layer of dirt on it, but the rest of the place looks great.

They have t-shirts!?! Wow that's weird because I didn't see a merch stand when I saw the show in June.

Just saw this show and WOW - nothing like any play I've ever seen, Broadway or otherwise. So refreshing and HILARIOUS! Sad that it won't be around much longer, but glad I got to see it when I did. Who says Broadway can't do blood and guts?
