Not too bad I think. Oh sure there were a few that weren't crazy about it. But let's face it. Critic's don't hold the same power they used too. Plus it's not like this show needed raves across the board to succeed. The show already has a record breaking advance sale of over seven million dollars. Take that critic's!

By the way, for those of you who want tickets to see the show, you are in luck. We sell it. Well that and every other show both On and Off-Broadway. Get your tickets to see Meteor Shower on Broadway at the Booth Theatre. Until next time theatre fans.

Meteor Shower To Open Tonight On Broadway

When I first moved to New York City all I wanted to see were  e musicals. Oh sure if I got a free ticket to see a play I would go. After all a free ticket is a free ticket. However in the last ten years or so, I would rather see a play than some splashy Broadway musical. My how times change right? Now the one show that I am really looking forward to seeing this season is Meteor Shower. Which is the reason for today's blog.

The show, which is written by Steve Martin, officially opens tonight at the Booth Theatre. Making her Broadway debut along side Tony winner Laura Benanti, Tony nominee Jeremy Shamos, and Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key, who is also making his Broadway debut, is Emmy winner Amy Schumer. Now that's what I call a first rate cast. So what's the show all about? Well I'll tell you.

Meteor Shower is set in Ojai, California, on a hot night. Corky (Schumer) and her husband, Norm (Shamos), are having another couple over for dinner. However, Gerald (Key) and Laura (Benanti) aren't looking for a casual evening of polite small talk with new friends. Instead, the two couples find themselves in a marital free-fall matched in velocity and peril only by the smoldering space rocks tearing through the sky.

Well I'm sold. Oh and if that wasn't enough to entice you, the show is being directed by four-time Tony Award Jerry Zaks. Who by the way has two other shows running on Broadway. Hello Dolly! and A Bronx Tale. Not bad huh? By the way for those of you who want tickets to see the show, you are in luck. We sell it. Well that and every other show both On and Off-Broadway. Get your tickets to see Meteor Shower on Broadway at the Booth Theatre. Who knows? You just might see me there. Until next time theatre fans.

Steve Martin's Meteor Shower To Open On Broadway This Fall

Steve Martin on Broadway? Count me in theatre fans. Now before you get too excited, I should probably tell you that Steve Martin is not starring in the show. He is simply the playwright. But don't worry, because the cast that he has assembled for his show is top notch. Making her Broadway debut is non other than comedian and Emmy winner Amy Schumer. Now I've been a big Steve Martin fan for years, but let me tell you the big draw for me is because of her.

Trust me. I am not the only one. Joining her in this new comedy are Tony Award winner Laura Benanti (She Loves Me, Gypsy), Alan Tudyk (Spamalot, Prelude To A Kiss), and Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele, MADtv), who is also making his Broadway debut. See? I told you they were top notch. But wait. It get's better. Directing the show is four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks (Hello Dolly, A Bronx Tale). I know. I know. So what exactly is the show all about? Here is a brief synopsis about the show from the show's official site.

Sounds like a winner to me. Performances for the show are set to begin at the Booth Theatre on November 1, with opening night scheduled for November 29. By the way for those of you who want tickets to see the show you are in luck. We sell it. In fact we sell tickets to every new play and musical to open this season.
