B'way Update!

I know that we're in the midst of film awards season, but I kinda feel bad that I haven't done any major recent posts about theatre, and B'way. So, for your reading pleasure, I present a look at the shows coming to Broadway in the current 07-08 season;

THE 39 STEPS: I hear it's some humorous adaptation of the famous Alfred Hitchcock film. Unless I'm really bored one day, you won't catch me there.







NOVEMBER: I love David Mamet. I love Nathan Lane. Count me in fro this new presidential comedic play!






COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA: Yeah, it's the whole, "not such a fan of plays unless they sound really good, or if they look really funny" thing, that's stopping me from seeing this.





SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE: The first Broadway revival of the Pulitzer-Prize winning Stephen Sondheim musical, from the Olivier-Award winning London production. Awesomeness at it's finest.





PASSING STRANGE: An Off-Broadway musical transfer, about the story of a musician. Well, it was written by, and starring, a guy named Stew, and it received critical acclaim Off-Broadway, so, what the hell, I'm ready for something new, ain't you?




CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF: A revival of the classic Tennessee Williams play. And it just happens to have a bunch of famous African-American Actors in it. Maybe....





IN THE HEIGHTS: Another Off'-B'way transfer, this one about Latino's, or something along those lines. I'll probably end up seeing it.






GYPSY: The new revival of the classic American Musical, based on the recent City Center Encores! Production, with Ultra-Diva, Patti LuPone. I'm gonna see it, but I don't really like the poster. It's all, bleh.





SOUTH PACIFIC: As some of you don't know, I find Rogers & Hammerstein to be a tad overrated. So, I won't be attending this Pulitzer-Prize winning musical.





A CATERED AFFAIR: A new musical from composer John Bucchino, based on the '50s film, with a book by, and starring, Harvey Fierstein, this looks like the big dramatic hit of the season.




and, Thurgood, a play with Lawrence Fishburne.

That's it for now, later skaters.
