LEGENDS is finally coming to Broadway!!!

James Kirkwood's fabled LEGENDS, which toured twenty years ago with Carol Channing and Mary Martin (and Gary Beach) without ever playing NY and was the subject of Kirkwood's memoir "Diary of a Mad Playwright", is being revived with Joan Collins and Linda Evans in the lead roles! What larks, Pip!

Heaven help us!

there is another thread about this, which is in discussion of the "lead story" posted today.........

LEGENDS is a pretty bad play. As I wrote on the other thread, it was a delight seeing Channing and Martin do the brief musical number that was added for them. Other then that, LEGENDS will be a nice place to visit for folks who want to see the former DYNASTY stars live and in person. The show is fun sometimes, but it will not knock your socks off or even make them roll up and down.

What a terrible idea. The play is awful. The book by Kirkwood (Diary of a Mad Playwright) is one of the best books about the theatre experience ever written. But the play is horrible. I would rather see a revival of Time Out For Ginger, for crying out loud.

Yes, the play is awful!!

Loved his book though!

But people love watching car accidents.

What next?

"Agnes of God" with the original television cast of "Charlie's Angels?"

The book 'Diary of a Mad Playwright' is a good read. I once read it in one sitting travelling over the Pacific Ocean.
