Great write-up. I wish NYC tourists (and some of the local-BWW readers) who only have eyes for Legally Blonde (not to say that's not filled with great hard workers) would take this seriously and show some support/respect to all the hard-working creatives among the theatres outside Midtown

For those with the at-home magazine version, (pages 16 & 17) there's also a nice graphic/table on the bottom of the page rating Stage vs. Screen success

I make sure to see 1 or 2 off-Broadway shows whenever I am there. And have even taken in a few off-off-Broadway shows. For me, there is just this special feeling in an off-Broadway theater. it just feels very New York and very special. If that makes any sense. I still look back with a smile on the evenings I saw Spring Awakening and Stuff Happens off-Broadway at the final preview. The Atlantic Theater was just full of energy. I have decided I probably won't see it on Broadway because that evening just seemed so special. And I feel very lucky that I got to see BARE in NYC. Just my random thoughts.

Posted: 7/25/08 at 3:18pmDepending on where you go, Off-Broadway does have a special, special vibe. It was wonderful going to see RED LIGHT WINTER and find an audience mostly made up of smart, clearly well-read people under 40.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 7/26/08 at 12:06amI think people seem to forget or ignore shows that aren't in Broadway and thinking that Broadway is the pinnacle of success. There are only so many "official" Broadway stages that quality shows will be passed up for more commercial productions. When I saw The Sparrow produced by House Theatre it was one of the most fulfilling nights I ever had.
