Young Frankenstein
Watch out, Young Frankenstein is headed to Broadway. And Mel Brooks is producing the new musical!
The original movie was released in 1974 and certainly had a cult following ever since. If I am not mistaken, that was my first sighting of Terri Garr, oh yeah.
Obviously we are in the midst of retro times.

You’ve Got To Know These Things When You’re King
Wednesdays are, historically, not good days. Yes, it’s called “hump day” but in my case, the hump is actually the gestation sac of one of the creatures from “Gremlins.” It typically bursts out at about 2 PM and leaps on my head, still trailing tendrils of amniotic fluid, and immediately commences to beating and scratching me until it gets bored and gives up…usually at around 5 AM the next morning. Yesterday was a good’n, though. I filed a column that I was quite happy with and headed to down

Visitor to VC: Broadway Calls
Broadway Calls (11/20/08) - Broadway Calls stopped by the office yesterday and man, they are rad dudes. I first met them at a Warped Tour after party and hit if off with them.

Quote of the Day: Richard Griffiths
Apparently, Richard Griffiths is feeling his age these days, but he’s got the grace to joke about it: “I’ve no time for youth. It’s a source of envy and despair. Daniel comes raving to me about the latest band he’s been listening to and I have no idea what he’s talking about. It just makes me feel so old. In fact, I shall have him beaten soundly before I go home. I mean he’s young, handsome, successful…everything unbearable.” - source LOL! Love that guy! Tags: Broadway theatre, daniel+rad

Broadway Wants Their Reba Back
I know you can’t believe everything you read in the paper. Especially the New York Post. But wouldn’t it be the best news ever if this is actually true? That Reba McEntire may perform on Broadway again, in a revival of Anything Goes? She’s done it before with Annie Get Your Gun which had both box office success and critical acclaim. And she turned that show around despite doubts that she could. So it’s no wonder that Broadway wants her back. But she’s been busy. Doing her television show, touri

My Latest Obsession
The new show on HBO called Summer Heights High. It's from Australia. It is old now down there, but has newly arrived in the States. It's fucking hilarious.
