When something has a pre-Broadway run, does that mean that it will be on Bway or is that just to see how people like it and see if they should take the chance of opening on Bway? In Chicago, a new musical called Masada is going to a have world premiere/pre-Broadway run. Has anyone heard of this musical? Is it anygood? What is it about?

I understand the producers are thinking of changing the title to MY FAIR MASADA.

I was at Masada in Isreal and saw the movie. I can't picture it as a musical. Hello Masada?

How about the shows official anthem " Climb Every Mountain"

Sung to the tune of "Tradition":

"At three I climbed up every stone
At four I hid in caves
I hear the Roman army's feet
I hope we bash them...

Masada...Masada....Masada...MASADA!!!!!!"

I actually really enjoy the tracks I listened to, it seems like they are taking the Jewish pride from the story and turning the story into one of hope and inspiration, it could be very effective in the hands of the right director

Maybe they can do it on a double bill with The Death of Klinghoffer.
