Has anyone seen any really good Off-Broadway musicals lately? The last one I saw was Sweeny Todd, while Carolee Carmello was in it. It was fantastic!

Recently saw Black Light. Really enjoyed it. If you haven't seen Desperate Measures, check it out before it closes in 2 weeks.

Just give the world Love.

I second Desperate Measures - it's so much fun, and you only have until the end of the month to see it.

Ordinary Days and Rags Parkland Sings the Songs of the Future were both great, but both on the simpler side-- no ornate sets, costumes, etc. Black Light has fabulous costumes and a charismatic storyteller, but I hesitate to call it a true musical in that the songs don't advance the plot. I've heard great things about the Yiddish production of Fiddler. Oklahoma is fabulous but I believe the run is sold out.

This looks like an interesting production of into the Woods , but don’t know cause it doesn’t start previews until next week.
