A friend of mine went and told me about it, but I was interested in hearing if anyone else went and what they thought.

Are they doing a musical/play based on the Video Game?!?


Wow, did they run out of movies. Or maybe it's based on the short lived TV Game Show with Paul Ruebens.


Coming Next Season: The Price Is Right:The Musical staring George Hearn!!

I'm waiting for the Emeril Musical called Boom:Up the Notch staring Vincent Pastore from The Sopranos.

He'll be fighting for the role with Mario Cantone.

I don't even know what the video game is.

Okay, so I went. And for the love of God, people, Broadway isn't *that* desperate! LOL.

"You Don't Know Jack" is based on the "true story" of the "Jack & Jill" nursery rhyme.

It starred Kevin Kern (Jack), Felicia Finley (Jill), Ann Harada (Bo Peep), and Christian Anderson (Georgy Porgy).

And it's absolutely hysterical.

The cast blends so well together, both vocally and acting-wise. It's smart, funny, romantic, and sexy-as-hell. There were moments that I laughed so hard, I would miss the next line! The music is definitely memorable, and there are lines that I'm still quoting the next day. And although it was only a read-through, I don't see much that needs to be changed in the story or the scenes. It runs about 2.5 hours, but it's never boring or stretched-out. I think they might have themselves a hit on their hands, and I can't wait to see if it makes it!
