I knew this couldn't be true. But, I still would have liked to seen Mambo Kings.

After seeing a dance they did in Brant Park when the RENT cast sang I was wishing it came to Broadway.

Not 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.

If you people actually believed this subject title when you read it, you deserve to be fooled.

It'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)

As 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.
