Just for the fun of it, I'm giving you all out there a special preview at the upcoming Broadway Season, both musicals and plays, along with my opinions on whether they will be good or not. Here we go;
What has already opened this season:
Xanadu: Although I've already reviewed it, I must once again say that this is such a great show!
Grease (revival): From what I've heard, it's crap. Probably true.
Mauritius: A play about a stamp collection. How could it NOT be good?
The Ritz (revival): Gay bathhouses, mobsters, and Rosie Perez. I smell a Tony.
Upcoming:
Pygmalion (revival): It's "My Fair Lady" without the music. Fun Fun Fun.
A Bronx Tale: Chazz Palminteri brings his one-man show to Broadway. Might appeal to some. Not to me.
Cyrano de Bergerac (revival): What could be more fun than Kevin Kline with a big nose?
Rock 'n' Roll: The new play from Tom Stoppard. Lets pray that it's not 9 hours again.
Young Frankenstein: The new Mel Brooks musical, based on the movie. The blockbuster of the season. Fingers crossed.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (revival): I saw it last year, and it's cute. Great for the little ones, and it won't bore the adults.
The Farnsworth Invention: It's Tv. On Broadway!
The Seafarer: Sounds kinda cool. Something about Irish people, and a card game.
August: Osage Country: I'm not really a "play" person. So,yeah, not that interested.
Is He Dead?: A new Mark Twain play. Thats right. America's favorite humorist is back from the dead to bring us comedy at its finest.
Cymbeline (revival): Shakespeare at Lincoln Theater. Yawn.
The Little Mermaid: One of the greatest animated films of all time is now a musical. From what I've heard, the costumes are horrible, and the second act has a singing contest. Curse you, Disney!!
This is as far ahead as I'm gonna go. You don't have to listen to some of my criticisms if you don't want to. Shwatever.
Peace Y'all.
