did I mention I picked up a teaser poster for rocky IV?

[JonoJ108]

they all sound like crap to me, Mike, even AND ESPECIALLY those that Doug recommended. Musicals based on movies are D.U.M.B.

what awful theater won't be bringing at least ONE original musical or quality revival to the obviously culture-starved homos of Texas???

my answer: NONE. instead, rent the dvds for the most recent B'way revival of Company (Sondheim, learn it) or the Carnegie Hall concert of South Pacific, if you really need a musical. Otherwise, there's gotta be a (for lack of a better phrase) "straight play" up sometime.

Golly, them's slim pickin's.

pretty. you-know-who did a good job. i still worry for her being so THIN w/ those huge wings, but whatever.

how hard is it to balance that thing?

[Jesse321]

Nope, she's perfectly balanced, the wings aren't even an 1/8 of an inch thick, and only weigh 2.5 ounces, they're so light that they're actually being held on by plumbers tape right now.

[JonoJ108]

cool.

To each his own, I guess, Jono, because I quite liked Legally Blonde, and the music from the other two was not offensive to my ears. I'm curious to see how it plays on the boards.

Here's what we have to choose from next summer:

The Second City on Tour
The Three Redneck Tenors
Bob the Builder Live
The Rat Pack: Live at the Sands
Tarzan
The Pajama Game
Frost/Nixon (Which I admit I sort of want to see)
Rent
Fiddler On the Roof (Featuring Topol!)
Happy Days: The Musical
The Wizard of Oz
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
A Chorus Line
Legally Blonde: The Musical
Mary Poppins
101 Dalmatians: The Musical

Slim pickings, indeed. :tounge:
