So here I sit on a cold Sunday morning at work trying to figure out something to blog about. To be honest there's not a lot going on as far as theatre goes. No surprise there as most of the big shows don't usually open until the Spring anyway. As of now there are fifteen new shows set to open between now and the end of April. Seven of those are new musicals.
The Book of Mormon
Catch Me If You Can
The People In The Picture
Priscilla Queen of the Desert
Sister Act
Spider-Man:Turn Off The Dark
Wonderland
Pretty interesting line-up wouldn't you say? Now the truth is out of all of those shows the only one that I am really looking forward to is Spider-Man. Not because I think it will be any good but because I think it won't. I just love a good train wreck. The others I can take or leave. Oh sure The Book of Mormon is sure to be a laugh riot and Priscilla will be a major camp fest.
Who cares? I don't know about you but I am sick and tired of seeing big Hollywood movies turned into musicals. Where are the original ideas people? Where is the substance? What's next? Iron Man The Musical? Trust me. I'm sure somebody out there is already thinking about it. I'm done. Until next time theatre fans.
