BWW Reviews: Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre's Funny Production of THE ONE-HOUR STAR WARS TRILOGY:LIVE!

I was thirteen when Star Wars came out in May of 1977, and it made quite an impression on this particular teenage boy. I was a little older when The Empire Strikes Back came out, and even more so by the time Return of the Jedi premiered, but they were enjoyable romps as well, although I personally could have done without the Ewoks. Now, it's thirty-three years later, I get to witness the Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre's production of THE ONE-HOUR STAR WARS TRILOGY: LIVE!. I'm happy to report that it's a fond, fast and funny trip back in time for a fan like myself.

Broadway Blog - SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM Review Roundup

He brought us Into The Woods, Company, Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park with George, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, West Side Story and Gypsy (to name a few). By writing songs that reflect the complexity of his characters, he has changed the way we define a great musical. But even though millions of fans know his songs by heart, few know much about Stephen Sondheim himself. Until now. Roundabout presents Sondheim On Sondheim, an intimate portrait of the famed composer in his own words... and music. Directed by frequent Sondheim collaborator James Lapine, this unique experience aims to take audiences inside the life and mind of an ordinary New Yorker... with an extraordinary talent.
