"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

that's just hillarious! not the news, that I can't really comment about. I don't know what kind of actor he'll be.

But I actually saw Darryl Strawberry on stage before although he was played by Gillian Anderson... lol... well she was playing a depressive artist institutionalized for attempting suicide who tried to cheat her insurance into letting her stay longer in the safe heaven of the hospital by pretending to be a schizophrenic who thought she was Darryl Strawberry and ended up baing caught up in her own game (wow... that was a long winded sentence... did it make any sense at all? re: Former Yankees to act in play)

anyway the play was The Sweetest Swing in Baseball by Rebecca Gillman and it simply was fantastic. I don't think it transferred to Broadway since most critics were a little bitchy after being used as targets in the play but it really was good...

ah... Darryl Strawberry... a stage whore it seems re: Former Yankees to act in play


"What book of rules says that theatre exists only within some ugly buildings crowded into one square-mile of New York City? Wherever there's magic and make-believe and an audience, there's theatre..."

Hahaha Bdway.

I don't think I can pass up the opportunity to see this.

I care a tad bit more about Leyritz...game 4 of the '96 World Series...gotta love him.
