This new production, which I was lucky enough to see on... Read More |

Broadway Musical "Hair" Has Lost Its Power to Shock! |
| 4/17/2008 5:45:52 AM |
Boy, the Broadway musical sure has changed in the last 40 years. Take Hair, for example. When it opened as a Broadway musical back in the 60's, theatergoers were shocked by its frank depictions of drug use, free love, and a nude scene that featured the entire cast.

| 4/14/2008 6:01:24 AM |
When I first heard about Mamma Mia, the Broadway musical cobbled together from a thin storyline based on a string of tunes by ABBA, the Swedish rock sensation of the 70s and 80s, all I could do was groan, thinking that Mamma Mia would crash and burn in a spectacular way. But, I'm pleased to say that I was wrong. Mamma Mia has turned out to be a smash Broadway musical, and it is... Read More |

| 4/5/2008 10:07:14 AM |
Fans of the wonderful Broadway Musical Nine should love this. It seems that this classic Broadway musical, which was based on Federico Fellini's funny and profound autobiographical film 8 1/2, is heading for the silver screen in a big-budget film.
