Brad Zimmerman News

'My Son the Waiter, A Jewish Tragedy,' Brad Zimmerman's deliciously self-skewering account of three decades of underachievement as a beloved bad waiter, is proving to have some staying power. The hilarious one-man crowd-pleaser, which began its initial 12-week run at Stage 72 - Triad Theatre, 158 West 72nd Street, on October 10, is now on sale through March 2. The two shows on New Year's Eve -- at 7pm and 9pm -- which were originally scheduled to shut down the joint, will now ring in the New Year, as well as a two-month extension.

I enjoyed the ride of TOMMY. By the end of the show, I wanted to buy the album. That's a compliment. To The Who. To the cast. To the house band, The Whom. And to Standing Room Only Productions.

Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey's wildly popular hit musical NEXT TO NORMAL is back on Houston stages, and audiences are packing the house. Last seen in the summer of 2012 at Stages Repertory Theatre, the almost entirely sung through musical is being produced by Standing Room Only Productions at Obsidian Art Space and covers hard hitting social issues centered around bipolar disorder, depression, and the effect these mental illnesses have on familial bonds.

After the success of THE PRODUCERS, Mel Brooks gave YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN the Broadway treatment. The ribald musical comedy had it's pre-Broadway try out at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington. It began previews on Broadway on October 11, 2007 and opened at the Foxwoods Theatre (then named the Hilton Theatre) on November 8. The show closed after 485 performances on January 4, 2009. The production launched two national tours, with the Second National Tour closing on May 31, 2012. Rights to the musical became available to regional theaters shortly thereafter, and many ballsy theatre companies are gladly taking on the ambitious project.
