Posted: 6/24/08 at 6:36pm[Title of Show]
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

[Title of Show] and Equus
And maybe Shrek because of the cast and Billy Ellot because of the dancing...
I would be excied for 13 because it's Jason Robert Brown, but a show staring 13 13 year olds doesn't really interest me.

A tie between [title of show] and Billy Elliot.

Posted: 6/24/08 at 9:12pm
June 26: Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy: I really could not care less. Bore.
July 17: [title of show]: Totally looking forward to this. Loved it off Broadway, hope it's just as good on.
September 18: A Tale Of Two Cities: meh. Whatever.
September 28: Equus: I hated this play before Daniel Radcliffe was ever attatched to it. He is just reason to hate it more.
October 2: To Be Or Not To Be: What?
November 13: Billy Elliot: F*** you, Elton John. F*** you.
November 19: On The Town: Whatever.
November 20: Dividing The Estate: Huh?
December 11: Pal Joey: I hate this show.
December 14: Shrek The Musical: I'm terrified that it will translate into a tasteless mishmash of stale jokes and boring love scenes. It's got a good composer and a good leading pair (Brian d'Arcy James and Sutton Foster) and a good movie as source material, but that does not promise a good show.

The one that I'm seeing? Shrek, simply because I know how spectacular it'll be. Otherwise, A Tale of Two Cities.
The one that I'm not seeing? I would say Billy Elliot, but right now, I'm leaning towards 13.

Posted: 6/24/08 at 10:29pmI WAS looking forward to Side Show, but I guess I'm gonna have to wait for that one. In the meantime, though, I'm excited for Shrek.

I'm not really looking forward to any of the shows listed, except DIVIDING THE ESTATE. I'm most looking forward to the Martin McDonagh play THE CRIPPLE OF INNISHMANN at the Atlantic.
SHREK? Meh. BILLY ELLIOTT? Meh.

BILLY ELLIOT, yes.
TITLE OF SHOW, DIVIDING THE ESTATE, PAL JOEY, curious.
Looking forward to the new seasons at the Atlantic and Signature.
TO BE OR NOT TO BE, SHREK, 9 TO 5, f**k off.
"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.”

[title of show] -- no doubt!
But honestly? There isn't a single show that's opening that I'm not excited about. I kinda just feel like it's wrong to live in New York and have access to this kind of world class theater, and then poopoo it before it even starts!
Giving something a bad review is totally different than a bad prediction.
Optimism, people! OPTIMISM!

Posted: 6/25/08 at 11:23amOptimism is one thing. Not being interested in a musical based on a movie I didn't like is another.
