LYSISTRATA JONES had its New York premiere in a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway production at The Gym at Judson. It transferred to Broadway and opened at the Walter Kerr Theatre on December 14, 2011. Living in Houston, this show was not even a blip on my radar. Having been a longtime reader of BroadwayWorld, the name was familiar, but I didn't know anything about the show. With the June 14, 2013 announcement that a film adaptation is in the works, I felt compelled to track down a copy of the Original Cast Album and give the quirky comedy at least a few listens.

Broadway veterans Kate Shindle (Wonderland, Legally Blonde), Bradley Dean (Evita, A Little Night Music), Matt DeAngelis (Hair) & LaQuet Sharnell (Lysistrata Jones, Memphis) & more will take part in a private reading of Bobby Cronin and Crystal Skillman's romantic musical comedy THE CONCRETE JUNGLE.
