Little Show, Big Break
By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON; Compiled by LAWRENCE VAN GELDER
Published: April 4, 2008
In what could be Broadway’s most profound exercise in postmodernism, “[title of show],” the scrappy little musical about trying to put on a scrappy little musical, is heading to Broadway. The show, written by Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell and directed by Michael Berresse, is scheduled to begin previews at the Lyceum Theater on July 5 with an opening date of July 17. Kevin McCollum and Jeffrey Seller lead the producing team, which includes the Vineyard Theater, where “[title of show]” made its Off Broadway debut in 2006. The full cast — the two writers; Susan Blackwell; Heidi Blickenstaff; and the musical director, Larry Pressgrove — has been busy over the last few months with their online series, “The [title of show] Show” at titleofshow.com, about trying to get the musical to Broadway. They are all signed on for the Broadway run.

>Seems like such a larger theatre for them, but maybe not?<
The Lyceum has a relatively small intimate orchestra level. All told, there are a little over 900 seats in that house. Only theatres smaller (and not including the institutional Biltmore, American Airlines and Studio 54) are the Helen Hayes and Circle in the Square at around 600, the Booth at 788 and the Golden at 796, all of which are occupied for the time being. So, the Lyceum is just about as reasonable choice as they could have made.

Posted: 4/3/08 at 7:05pmAwesome, thanks Smaxie, it still looks big, but it's probably because of the two balconies. I'm just use to a theatre like that.

Based on all that I have read on the board I'm greatly looking forward to seeing this.
Is Byron Jennings going to be in this as well?
