on Broadway

I had a geek moment today and got on broadway.com.

Apparently Green Day wrote a musical. This scares me a bit. It's like a tacky, Hot Topic version of Rent. I hope it stays away from Broadway.

Would someone please push Andrew Lloyd Webber off the planet already? The man is not only making a sequal (yes, a SEQUAL) to Phantom, but he's remaking The Wizard of Oz!!! Mr. Webber, keep your filthy, big show-writing hands off of that classic. Thank you.
Apparently he'll condescend to allowing 'Over the Rainbow' to remain in the show. All I need say is anyone who casts his shows via reality tv clearly has problems.
Besides he's just plain creepy looking.


I'm still looking forward to the revival of Bye Bye Birdie. Although it annoys me that they cast some Nickleodian (I don't even know how to spell it) star as Conrad, I haven't seen anything too terrible to discourage me from attempting to go see it.
And anyways, the costumes are incredible.
Oh ,and Regina Spektor is writing a musical! It will be based on the Grimm's Sleeping Beauty. Thank god some famous, talented people are finally doing stuff.
