THE UNFUNNY BROADWAY APRIL FOOLS THREAD

In an effort to boost sales for Bridges of Madison County, producers have announced a series of guest performers in each performance. The first one will be on May 11, when Governor Chris Christie will appear. At the first scene on the bridge, Mr. Christie will appear with his arms outstretched preventing the fated couple from actually having access to the bridge.

But don't contact his office, because no doubt he will deny any knowledge of this.

Kelli O’Hara’s baby will replace the prop baby in Bridges tonight

haha april fOol’s

Wicked, Book of Mormon, Lion King and Chicago are all closing april fools

The Broadway League has announced a new, blanket rush policy for all Broadway shows. In an effort to create heightened, attention-getting events outside theaters, those under 30 who wish to rush a show must line up at one minute after midnight on show day. Anyone showing up beginning at 12:02 will not be sold tickets, no matter how many empty seats remain. All Sunday rushes will begin at 11 a.m. and will be restricted to those over 40, as everyone younger will still be trying to figure out in whose apartment they are waking up. The rush price for all shows is $45 for students, and $27 for adults with responsibilities, in a bid to better reflect true fiscal realities.

Stephen Sondheim has finally found a new project. He's adapting the riotous film "Best in Show" as a Broadway musical.

The show is rumored to be titled "COLLIES."

Yes this thread is living up to its title. It is most definitely and unequivocally UNFUNNY.

Keep up the bad work.

Liza's dirty headband was tragically hit by a garbage truck in the wee hours of the morning. Services are being held on a garbage scow tomorrow evening and all Broadway lights will be dimmed for a half a second each night this week in honor of this fallen legend in her own mind.

April fool!! The headband lives, and the garbage continues, indefinitely.

Isn't the whole point of the the thread to be unfunny? I was paying everyone a compliment for being consistent.

After all it is The UNFUNNY April Fools Thread, is it not?
