Last month I posted a blog about the eagerly anticipated new musical Tootsie. Based on the popular 1982 film, the show is currently in previews at the Cadillac Theatre in Chicago thru October 19. Now as I mentioned in my blog, Tootsie is one of my favorite films of all time. However I will admit that after reading recent articles about the show I was a little scared. After all, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Thankfully word of mouth out of Chicago looks promising, with the recent article by New York Post's resident theatre columnist Michael Riedel. Now I know that there are those out there that are not too fond of Mr. Reidel or his views. You know what? Who cares. Oh sure he may be a little controversial, and his opinion may rub some people the wrong way.
But at the end of the day, the man is there to report the news, which is what he has been doing for over twenty-five years and counting. And besides, isn't it about time that Broadway has a feel good, old fashioned type musical once again? I think so. Here's hoping I am right. Until next time theatre fans.
