I have not been hearing a lot about Lennon. I need to find new show that's a musical to take family to in September. I want whatever is the newest and most popular.
I hope it will. I'm a Beatles fan from way back when, but with all these "jukebox musicals" going around lately, I'm afraid it will be just lost in the shuffle. Come September, I think Lennon will be the newest, but Spamalot will still be most popular, and maybe if you act now you can still get seats for Spamalot then.
The concept of the show sounds much more artistic than any of the other jukebox shows to date (Mamma Mia, Good Vibrations, All Shook Up, etc.). And the cast is phenominal.
the rumor is that the producers are holding back spending a lot of money on the production until it transfers to broadway as they are extremely frightened that YOKO will pull her support from the show and force it to close. Don't get too attatched yet. I really want to see it though.
Terrence Mann is in it. I think he's only been in one bad play - the rest have been Cats/Beauty and the Beast/Les Mis/Rocky Horror Show/Barnum/Scarlet Pimpernel. I'll go with the odds and say he doesn't usually put himself into bad plays......
I'm moving to London this summer, so I got tix to see Lennon in SF...does anyone have any info about the Orpheum Theater? My tix are first row loge...will I need to dodge a railing to see, are opera glasses necessary?
