The Bitch of Broadway at Lame Oh

Published February 22nd, 2007 in STOP, TV.

I saw this on Letterman last night. I haven’t hated something so much so instantly in a long time. Maybe I just don’t get broadway musicals.

You watch it, and if you can get through it without wanting to punch everyone in it - hard - I’ll give you a dollar.

Wait…what was it? As a Broadway lover, I really want to see it and somehow justify to you why it is brilliant.

You owe me a dollar. It was just as I suspected…I have to justify to you why it is brilliant. I’ll give you three facts to sway you…
1. The composer is Duncan Sheik, you may remember him from pop hit “Barely Beathing”. Him and the other guy who wrote the show met at some Buddhist class after they meditated. Tell me you don’t love that.
2. The show is based on a German book from like 1890 dealing with teenagers and puberty. A bare breast is exposed and Broadway is freaking out which officially makes this show “provocative”
3. It is the first actual original work on Broadway NOT based on a movie or a collection of songs from ABBA or The Four Seasons in a really long time. Original work should be applauded.
See, you should love it. You also might want to reconsider giving me reply capabilities on your blog.

Wanting to poke out your eyes with knitting needles means it is art. And, your welcome. = )
