"THE OPPOSITE OF SEX" next at DODGERS??

With 2 shows (Musicals of Musicals and A Mother, A Daughter and a Gun) already announcing closure and Great Trailerpark Musical rumoured to be a limited engagement... could The Opposite of Sex arrive next?

Don't forget what Broadway.com said!:

"—The Opposite of Sex, based on the 1998 film of the same name, tried out at San Francisco's Magic Theatre last fall in preparation for what was expected to be a Broadway bow. Now the production, being presented by Barry and Fran Weissler, is aiming a little lower and is eyeing a fall berth at Dodger Stages. The show, which centers on a 16-year-old tart (played by Kerry Butler out-of-town) who wrecks the life of her gay half-brother, features music and lyrics by Douglas J. Cohen and a book by Robert Jess Roth and Cohen based on Don Roos' screenplay."

The new dodger stages complex is so cold and sterile, I don't think anything goes nicely into it. BUt it would be nice to get a glimpse of opposit of sex this side of the mississippi.

That was a really good movie, but I SERIOUSLKY doubt it would translate well to the stage, especially musically.

It translated better than I ever could have dreamed, being a huge fan of the film. It's so true to the film as to be 99% verbatim.

maybe this will be Trailer Park's replacement? Assuming trailer park will close if there's no jump in ticket sales. Or is that just completely jumping the gun and being too presumptious. I'd just really like this show to get a chance at NY, or just anywhere again sometime soon. It got pretty fabulous reviews, no?

I thought the show was "eh", so I hope they fixed it....


The source material is very weak anyway.
