Take Riedel with a Grain of Salt? You can say a lot about him, but one thing for sure- he has incredible credible sources.

Y'all are clueless- a QUILTERS revival is going into the Neil Simon starring Marla Schaffel. DUH!
The real Rumor is that Starmites is being revived in the St. James.

They had it at Toys R Us! Shocking- bought the last two copies- one for me and one for my mom as a gift.
Totally agree with you EricMontreal!....not the same... if you ask me, compare spring awakening to BARE- had BARE not been effed over the producers, people would have called Spring Awakening the poor man's BARE- much in the way of dirty rotten scoundrels followed the producers.

I think its interesting that Spring Awakening is always compared to RENT. Its often attemped to be put on par with RENT. Considdering the impact that RENT had as it crossed over into pop culture and mainstreem media in such a way that Broadway hadn't in a long time, I considder it such a misleading comparrison. If it had been on par with RENT, Spring Awakening would probably have had a better chance at still running to this day.

Hi-
I'm looking for Barack Obama's top secret email address. This is regarding the recent economic recession. I have a few ideas. If anyone has his top secret email address on his 40,000 dollar blackberry, please post it here or email.

Hey New Yorkers...
Both Virgin Megastores only have BluRay.
All the best buys are sold out
The Theater Shops are all sold out of it, or they never got any.
I'll be damned if I go to Colony and pay 50.00 for it or whatever they mark it up to.
Anyone have any luck finding it elsewhere?

The best part of my friends costume is that Toto is colored hair by hair with a sharpie- Mimi couldn't find the right color. That dog was originally white.

It IS Awful. All these venues are going under- being snuffed outta town... or where ever the cool venues go to die. I'm really sad by this- with the loss of these types of spaces, I'm not really sure where downtown artists are going to do Shows. There are some great smaller cabaret type spaces, but nothing with quiet the size and capacity that the Cutting Room and The Zipper could hold and support. I'm at a loss for words at the moment...The Cutting Room and the Zipper have joined the Fez wit

The begining of La Vie Boheme (RENT) is clearly the same underschoring as Your Fault from Into The Woods. Given the fact that Larson notoriously "borrowed" from many sources and being a huge Sondheim fan- I'm not surprised.
Its the "no please no not tonight" part.

It became a such a huge phenomenon when Jonathan Larson died. It was a great, fun, downtown rock musical with a small breeze at its back- but as fate would have with the passing of the show's sole author the eve of the 1st performance was a very interesting news story.
It only became more interesting when life imitated art. Here Jonathan had written a show about people who's time on this earth was limited and how they had to struggle between having time for their artistry and payi

Who cares?! Are you crazy- Mr Schoenfeld was key to bringing many shows to Broadway. He was an enthusiastic theatre person, as a producer, theatre owner and patron. Just to give you an idea of his legacy go over to ibdb and check out the 80 bazillion shows he helped bring to broadway.
http://www.ibdb.com/person.php?id=72096
I can't think of anyone who has helped as much as he has. Without folks like Mr. Schoenfeld, people like Merman, Verdon, Fosse and Bennet would have all been unemployed. Tell me then- what cast albums would you listen to? People like you make me so angry, so why don't you crawl back into your little room with your show posters and framed playbills and cry about how you'll never even come close to contributing as much as he did. And why you die- maybe they'll play a Broadway song. From a show he produced.
